Thank you for your support for the Emmaus Clinic! Haiti continues to face a crisis of gang violence. Some encouraging news is there is now a provisional Haitian government and a Prime Minister. The Kenyan and UN peacekeeping forces are supporting the Haitian police to begin to retake parts of the capital Port-au-Prince. Our staff continues to work amid these dangers. Here are some of the people we are helping, by God’s grace.

We are financing women to start small businesses so they can provide for their families. The idea for this came from nurse Louna. Many people come to her for help, not just medical, but other needs as well.

I went to the Dominican Republic for one week in July, for a medical mission to a Haitian church. Although it is better than in Haiti, they cannot afford medical care, and there is a constant threat of deportation.

Prayer need: Agape Flights is the company that sends the medication and other supplies that we use at the clinic. Because of the violence, they have not been able to fly to Port au Prince for many months. We have run out of almost all medication. Please pray that they will be able to resume flights to Port au Prince.

In February of 2023, gangs invaded the peaceful agricultural region of Bellevue Mountain. The entire population fled their homes and farms. Many moved to Diegue, near Port au Prince, where they have been living as refugees. Emmaus Clinic has rented a building in Diegue. We continue to work with Bellevue Mountain Christian Center to provide healthcare, housing, food, education, and employment. compassion while caring for all people.
