Team Updates
David and Julie Young, the US Directors of Heart of God Haiti, are in constant contact with the team in Haiti. Regular reports are sent to them that include daily activities, testimonies from special outreaches, and sometimes simply a sharing of the heart. As friends of this ministry, it is important that you have the opportunity to read these reports and get to know those who are laboring among us so you will be better equipped to pray for the entire team, the children, the ministry, and the leadership. Please check back often as updates will be posted frequently. You may use the “Comment” feature to share your thoughts, prayers, or ask questions to David and/or Julie; they will respond as soon as they are able. Thank you!
A New Chapter – September 2011
There’s nothing permanent with us except God and His Love and the Family! – Nothing has to be permanent except the Lord! – Only He changes not (see Malachi 3:6). The past nine months have been an incredibly turbulent and violent time for Haiti and our mission has not been unaffected by any means. Let me share just a few things our Haitian team has faced during this trying time. All our supply lines were cut; the organizations with whom we had arrangements to feed our people stopped their feeding programs due to the risk of...

Dear Friends, It has been an eventful past several weeks in Haiti. We have faced many obstacles yet God has continued to prove that He is in control, bringing us through them all. Pastor Dicksent’s heart surgery saved his life and a follow-up visit to his doctor last week showed that he is in good health and fully recovered. The surgery has enabled him to continue to take care of the kids at Helping For Christ Victory Center (HFC). The fact that he is there with our kids means they have a much better chance of survival. He is...

Dear partners, family and friends, This past month has been another month of advances and a couple of smaller setbacks for our team in Haiti. The Helping for Christ orphanage is now known as the Helping for Christ Victory Center and is reaching out to the local community to spread the gospel by holding weekly church services at the Center. During August Pastor Dicksent and his team were able to get their passports and visas that will now allow them to travel to the Dominican Republic without having to be subject to the shake downs that...

Dear Friends, Imagine being in a school with 200 children when a devastating earthquake hits. The building is leveled and 40 of your children and two staff are dead. Over 120 of the children immediately become orphans. Several children suddenly have a new identity: amputee. And, they’re all looking to you for leadership, guidance, provision, help and love. Envision dig through the ruins pulling out survivors and dead bodies with only your hands and then leading over 300 people out of the chaos of Port-Au-Prince to make shift camps...

We are thrilled to share with all of you the wonderful progress that has been made during the past two months with our team in Haiti. We were able to move Pastor Dicksent, 7 other adults and 51children into a secure compound in Port au Prince. We’re pleased to learn that 19 of the 23 children who have been receiving medical care for the past three months in Guadeloupe joined the others at the compound on July 3rd bringing the total number at the compound to 74 children and 12 adults. The remaining 4 children continue their stay at...

We have made much progress these past few weeks with our team in Haiti. Pastor D., 7 other adults and 51 of the children have moved into the compound and are settling into a more normal routine. The 23 children that were previously sent to Guadeloupe for medical care will be returning to Haiti in three weeks and they will join the others at the compound. We have been able to secure a one-year commitment from World Vision and Food for the Poor to provide beans and rice for all the adults and children living at the compound. They will be...
read moreSafer location needed for Camp Victory
We have spent the last two weeks sorting through all of the information gathered during our recent mission trip to plan the best course of action for our people of Helping for Christ. The situation continues to change on almost a daily basis but we believe God has given us a clear direction for the future. Many things became evident as a result of David’s trip down. The greatest of these is the fact that the task of caring for the daily needs of 300 people in a camp is too much to continue to ask of Pastor D. and the Helping for Christ...
