I just got off the phone with our friend and school director, Wilson, in Haiti, who shared an encouraging update from the Arms of Jesus Children’s School in Cap-Rouge. Despite the national challenges, the leaders, teachers, and students are in great spirits! The Lord continues to bless Cap Rouge, supporting spiritual education for the children, providing food, training for trade students, and building new homes. The students are attending class daily, and this week, they’re diving into a baking unit—Wilson promised to send us photos of their creations! Wilson says the community is doing “okay”, and our house-building team is on track to complete the last house of 2024 soon—these homes are thanks to your generous support! Additionally, p..

Some of you may know me as Brock Heard, the grandson of Pastor Sam Martin. It is my honor and privilege to introduce myself as the Mission Director of the Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission. I previously worked as the Assistant Director of Summer Programs at Trafalgar Castle School and, more recently, as the Director of Aquatics at the Boys and Girls Club of Durham. I am a person of deep faith, having been brought up in a Christian household. My family has always sponsored children through the Arms of Jesus. I have always had a passion for helping others, honed through years of experience developing programs focused on life skills, education, and the well-being of children and youth. Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Ontario Tech University and will in a few months have completed a Master of Business Management Degree from the University of Essex.

Some years ago whilst visiting a Mission in Haiti,
at the end of a teaching session, a man got up and came over to where I was
sitting, he had a basin of water and he washed my feet and prayed for me. In
some ways I was taken aback. I felt very unworthy. This had never happened
before but it was a deeply moving experience, one I have never forgotten.
Some years later as we prepared to distribute shoes to needy children in Guatemala. I was challenged by the words found in John 13: “He now showed them the full extent of his love … he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist … and began washing the disciple’s feet.” In particular, ‘He showed the full extent of His love.”

At a time when life is becoming more and more difficult and families struggling to provide for their families, we thank God for the prayers and support of faithful donors. Inflation is now at 17.7% and the following are from today’s news reports (June 24th).
‘Demonstrators burned tires and threw stones during the march in Port-au-Prince, where the scent of burning rubber filled the air. Many stores and gas stations were closed and travel between some cities was impeded as protesters blocked roads with cars, stones and other large objects. Similar protests were held in the Haitian cities of Jacmel, Cap-Haitien, Saint-Marc and Gonaives.’ Jacmel is the City closet to our Campus. ‘
In the last few weeks we have been able to send extra funds for food distributi..

Facebook? To be honest I am not 100% comfortable with social media. I am aware of the tremendous potential of FB and aware of the dangers. Let me begin by sharing some basic information about FB:
Certification with CCCC is a powerful endorsement of a charity’s integrity. It demonstrates that the charity has been carefully assessed by CCCC’s rigorous certification process and found to be in compliance with CCCC’s Standards. Donors can give confidently and generously when they see CCCC’s Seal of Accountability on a charity’s website.
