| Welcome We are members of the churches of Christ who are dedicated to helping spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in Haiti. Our primary effort is the Center for Biblical Training, a preacher-training school in Cap Haitien, Haiti. |
| Milestones The Center for Biblical Training began its fifth class in March. They will spend 3 years in study and daily training in teaching and living as servant-evangelists in Haiti. Now several of our graduates are working with the school as teachers, administrators and mentors. |
| Earthquake in Port au Prince, Haiti A letter from CBT Director, Dale Huff Dealing with the Present Crisis, Preparing for the Aftermath The Haitian Christian Foundation is very active at present dealing with the crisis in Haiti. The Center for Biblical Training is located in Northern Haiti about 100 miles north of Port au Prince. Most of our work has been focused on the northern part of Haiti throughout the 13 years since the Center for Biblical training first began. Most of the preachers who have been trained have come from churches of Christ that were in cities or villages in Northern Haiti. Two of our graduates, Derisse Alain(first class) and Gusman Saint-il(fourth class) came from Port au Prince and were living there when the earthquake struck. A third graduate, Gustinvil Fedson(second class) was also living in Port au Prince at the time of the earthquake. We are thankful to report that they and their families are all alive, though two of them lost their houses in the quake. The rest of our graduates have reported that the quake did not do any significant damage in the villages or cities in the north of Haiti, and we are extremely thankful for that. Though the quake took place in Port au Prince, all of Haiti felt it, and all of Haiti will continue to feel its effect. Almost everyone has family and friends who lived in Port au Prince. Some of those were lost in the quake, and we are getting reports from graduates of the family they have lost. Also, many of those family members will be coming to the North to stay with family after the quake. If you know northern Haiti, you know that this will create a tremendous burden on all of these villages and families. Food was not abundant before, and it will be a much greater challenge now. No one really knows what to expect in the days to come, but we are trying to prepare. We are exploring ways to be most helpful to those in need.
