Meet ESMI Department Coordinators

Haiti is divided into ten departments/states. ESMI is active in five of those. We are grateful to the Lord for these four leaders and the departments they oversee to continue the goal of ESMI in church planting and leadership development.

*Pastor Moril is the ESMI coordinator for the South-East and Central Plateau/Mirebalais Departments.
*Pastor Previlon is the ESMI coordinator for Artibonite/Gonaives Department.
*Pastor Aurel is the ESMI Coordinator for the Grand-Anse/Jeremie Department.
*Pastor Mongerard is the ESMI Coordinator for the South/Les Cayes Department.

Please keep these men, their families and their ministries in your prayers.

Amidst all the unrest and uncertainties in Haiti, ESMI could not continue ministry if it were not for the dedication of these four coordinators and their wives. Every month, as the finances allow, the leadership team, along with other key pastors meet in a secure location to strategize, encourage, and prepare sermons and lessons to pass on to their own leadership team and congregations. These meetings have been a blessing. Over the summer, we studied the Book of Revelation together to counteract the many false doctrines being taught across the island.

Thank You for Your Prayers

Haiti Update: Following the assassination of President Jovenal, the nation has been in a heightened state of decline. Life is even more challenging and difficult to endure. The senate is in a state of dysfunction and the prime minister has no concrete plans for conducting an election. There is a prevailing cloud of insecurity due to gang organization in several cities in and around Port-au-Prince. Their presence makes it difficult to cross from one region to another; and often, they demand exorbitant fees to pass through their territories. Cost of living has not doubled, but tripled. Shortage of gas remains a siginificant concern. Pray for Haiti's peace and for new leadership. Pray for the church to raise an army of leaders with a heart for the Gospel.

"The needs are enormous, the conditions so perplexing, that every power of mind falters and fails. We forget that the one great reason underneath all missionary enterprise is not first the elevation of the people, nor the education of the people, nor their needs; but first and foremost the command of Jesus Christ- "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations."~Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest.

Despite the dire situation, by God's grace and with your partnership, ESMI will continue to press forward in the proclamation of the Gospel through church planting and leadership development. In the Haitian Christian culture, future actions are often parenthesized with the phrase: "Si Bondye vle" or "if God wills."
As the Lord wills, join us in prayer:
* To raise $50,000 to meet year end budget for 2023
* To plant 12 new churches in 2024
* To continue leadership training in Canada, Dominican Republic, Florida, Haiti and now Chile
* To provide 8 million meals in 2024
* To host General Assembly on May 20-26, 2024.
* To raise an additional $25,000 for the schools in Gonaives area for school year 2023-2024.
* To build 50 homes for those still in tents. 72 homes have been built since the 2021 earthquake. To God be the glory!
* To raise funds for two new transmissions needed for the University of Jeremie buses. These buses are a great ministry to the students.
