9 years

On July 17, 2013, I met Handy Oge for the first time. Though our meeting was brief, and I never thought I would see him again, God knew. And He made a way.

Since that day, we have seen miracles with our own eyes as our Father has done exceedingly abundantly above all that we could have ever imagined (Ephesians 3:20).

As we look toward the future we believe the promise of Isaiah 64:4, waiting with hopeful expectation:

"Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."

Yes, these are difficult days for Haiti, but we have Hope because we have seen the faithfulness of God in our past, and we believe He will be faithful in our future.

Glwa pou Bondye.

Fernando D'Or

December 4, 2008 - July 11, 2022

For the last year, so many of you have prayed with us for Fernando and his family. It is with heavy hearts that we share this afternoon that Fernando has passed from this life.

Please pray for the D'Or family, the Haiti Awake staff, and all of the children of CCS and Kay Timoun as he was loved by many.

May we grieve with hope, may we believe with hope. May we encourage each other knowing this is not the end of the story.

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

I Thessalonians 4:13-18

MMJ's Summer Marketing Intern

Julie D’Amanda
Mission Made Jewelry is excited announce that they have a new Summer Marketing Intern for 2022!

Julie is a Senior at UNC Wilmington studying Communication Studies with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in French. She believes in using your God-given skills to glorify the Kingdom and found that God led her to Mission Made Jewelry.

When Julie and Becky met it seemed like a perfect fit for both Julie, Becky, and the organization. Her background in design, copywriting, photography, and customer service has prepared her for this role in helping with MMJ marketing.

Julie is very excited to see what God has in store, and how she can help with MMJ’s mission to empower Haiti!

Propane gas for CERMICOL

We often struggle to explain life in Haiti to our American friends.

How do we explain this first photo - that this is how the CERMICOL prison has been attempting to feed 85 boys day-by-day for the last week? Do you see the wood they chopped from trees in the yard? Do you know why they had to do this? They had no more propane in their tanks.

Today, by God's grace, we were able to provide them with some propane.

This outreach ministry means so much to us, and we're thankful for those of you who support our ability to share Hope with our friends there.
