HAITI MISSION

Haiti is the most densely populated country in the Americas and occupies the Western third of the Island of Hispaniola which is shared with the Dominican Republic. Haiti was dedicated to Satan in 1791 and is currently one of the poorest countries in the world. Of the eight million people in Haiti, 80% live in poverty. 70% of the population rely on agriculture to make a living, which consists primarily of small-scale subsistence farming.

​Our Ministries

​Director: Mr. Wilson Maitre

The Mission responded to the call of a young Haitian man by the name of Wilson Maitre. Wilson was a student at the Jamaican Bible College who was passionate about helping his people and his passion encouraged Dr. Martin to expand the Mission to Haiti. AOJ raised funds to support Wilson and other workers and soon after, we developed a program in one of the poorest and most rural areas of Haiti. Currently, AOJ Haiti has two primary ministry programs:
 

Educational/Nutritional: AOJ Haiti operates three small schools in a remote mountainous area, Southwest of Port-au-Prince, called Cap-Rouge. Residents of this area are very poor and make a living by subsistence farming. They grow corn, peas, beans, fruits, and coffee. Their income comes from selling their harvest in the nearest city, Jacmel. Students at the AOJ school receive a basic Christian education. They are also provided with a hot lunch every day which often is the only meal the children receive regularly. The Mission also provides the required educational materials, uniforms, and footwear.

Child Sponsorship: Through our monthly sponsorship program, the poorest of the poor are provided with food, clothing, and where possible, an education. This program is impacting families in a powerful way. For many children, there is no such thing as a daily bath, hot meal, or clean clothing. The sponsorship program provides children with resources and opportunities that they might otherwise go without.
