Greetings from the Kanakuk Haiti team! We are excited to report that the Divine Shelter Schools in Haiti are open once again, and lunches are being served after a difficult year of delays caused first by social unrest and then by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The social unrest in Haiti during the past few years, along with COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, caused our Kanakuk Haiti program to cancel our annual trips with Kampers/Staff to Haiti to deliver Christmas bags to the DSS Schools. However, Kanakuk Kampers have continued to pack bags to send, and we have supplied 4100 children with Christmas bags annually. Our partnership with Cross International is a blessing, and their in-country team delivered the Christmas bags to the DSS schools and bags/gifts to the New Life Orphanage for us during this time (see photos). We have also partnered with Global Orphan Project’s Transition Academy in Haiti (a two-year vo-tech training program designed to help young adults aging out of orphanage care to make a successful transition into adulthood with relevant skills for the workplace) to pack additional bags to make up for deficiency of bags packed here through the Kanakuk Haiti Kamper program. We are hopeful that we will be able to travel to Haiti in December 2021 to personally deliver the bags to the school children as well as deliver bags and gifts to the New Life Orphanage that is supported through Kanakuk Ministries.

Please join us in praying for the country of Haiti and for the precious at-risk Haitian children who yearn for an education and the chance to thrive. The DSS schools, located in both urban and rural settings, are a powerful witness to Jesus’ love. These schools are beacons of light, offering nourishment for minds, bodies, and souls, and empowering children who might otherwise never get an education to ream of a future beyond abject poverty. Thank you for praying and for giving to our Kanakuk Haiti Project!.

What a great close to 2017! This past December, Kanakuk President, Joe White, made his annual trip to Haiti along with a team of about 23 Kanakuk Kampers and staff. They brought with them 4,600 bags filled with lollipops, small toys, utensils, tooth brushes, and much more to be given as presents to some of the poorest children in the island nation of Haiti.

The children will never forget the joy and excitement of receiving these gifts that we brought them! Giving the bags is an amazing opportunity to bless these children, but even greater is the opportunity we have to share the Gospel with them while we are there.

Thank you to all those who invested time and money to pack the Christmas bags and even come with us to serve these amazing children. We hope you enjoy this video that gives just a glimpse into Joe’s trip with Kanakuk Haiti and gratefulness of the children we met. Please continue to keep these children in your prayers, and stay tuned for when we begin preparing and taking donations for Christmas bags in 2018!

It is that time of year again when we are preparing to share the joy of Christ with children in Haiti. Every year, Kanakuk, under the leadership of president, Joe White, sets out to collect a careful mix of fun and helpful items that we pray create an avenue to also share Christ with them. By aiming to meet some if their tangible, physical needs, we are given the opportunity to meet their spiritual needs by sharing the gospel of Jesus. As we seek to be a blessing, we remember that we have received every spiritual blessing in Christ. Eph. 1:3

This year 5,781 bags were packed by Kanakuk partners, Kampers, Staff, and Link Year students. These bags contain items such as candy, small toys, soap bars, tooth brushes, etc. We pray that these bags would minister to all of the hearts that receive one! We are also so excited to announce that 36 participants are signed up to attend the Haiti mission trip this year! We can not wait to serve along side those who are joining and are excited to see what God has in store for this trip. Your financial support of Kanakuk Haiti enables us to serve the “poorest of the poor” as we reach the world for Christ.
