WELCOME MESSAGE
Welcome to Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission. We are a 501 (C)(3) charitable organization that serves the greater St. Michel area of Northern Haiti. Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission exists to witness the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Northern Haiti (St. Michel area) through education and medical services.
Haiti is widely recognized as the poorest country in the entire Western Hemishphere. More than 80% of the population lives in abject poverty and more than 70% of the people are unemployed. The United Nations has designated Haiti the 3rd hungriest country in the world with more than 40% of the rural population being malnourished.
Please look around and see the many aspects of our mission. We are excited about the work God is accomplishing for the Kingdom and hope that you will see the passion in which we work.

CAMATHE CLINIC
Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission has three Medical Clinics.
The Living Hope Haiti Medical Clinic at Camathe was opened in July 2003, and our physician started full time in August. We also have a head nurse and two assistant nurses on staff. Due to the severe medical needs in the area patients often are kept overnight turning the clinic into a small hospital. Even with just the basic medical equipment and medicines we are saving lives.
LACIDE CLINIC
The Living Hope Haiti Medical Clinic at Lacide is currently under construction.
L'ATTAYLE CLINIC
The Living Hope Haiti Medical Clinic at L'Attayle is coming soon.
L'ATTALAYE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Mary Babcock Christian Elementary School of L'Attalaye
There is a Haitian Saying, "Kote Gen kou pa gen kolye" which means where there is means there isn't needs. This can be used to describe the village of L'Attalaye. With more than 2,000 kids in need to go to school about only 200 can afford to go to the small state school. The rest and their parents want to be in school but there is no school to go to.
Because of our school, kids and parents in L'Attalaye are now saying, "Kote gen kou kolye" where there is need there is means. In L'Attalaye kids come to learn and they come to eat.

CAMATHE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Mary Babcock Christian Elementary School of Camathe
In the village of Camethe, just west of the northern city of Saint-Michel de Attalaye, there is no water or electricity. There was on mediocre elementary school that taught 200 children, yet an estimated 2,000 children ages 5 to 12 live in the village. Living Hope's first endeavor was to provide more of this village's needy children with an excellent education.
With this desire in mind, our first school opened in Camathe in October 2002. The thre classroom building is on six acres of land, nicely landscaped and attractive. A well has been dug on the site for use by the school and the villagers. Children are provided with a daily lunch, and receive annual health screenings.
Life is a constant struggle for survival in Haiti. In this daily struggle, education has taken a back seat, as few parents can afford to send their children to private schools and public schools are not available. Most children currently work on farms or help their parents at flea markets, in lieu of getting an education.
The school's French-based curriculum is taught by qualified teachers and not only provides the 750 elementary-aged students an excellent educational foundation, but also provides them with a greater possibility of continuing their studies at a secondary level.

MEDICAL TEAM
In August 17 through 20 of 2006 the surgical team completed 43 procedures on 34 people- half from St Michel area where Living Hope is, and half from the local area around Double Harvest (the mission that has the operating room). Our team was comprised of two surgeons, one anesthesiologist, two CRNAs, and eight nurses and OR techs, and two support people.
The folks from St Michel drove 12 hours in our school bus, bringing Pastor Edner and Dr. John (our clinic doctor) and several ladies to cook for the entire crew.
Some of the medical conditions that we treated were horrendous. To accomplish 34 surgeries in two days, the team started early, worked fast, and worked late. Everyone's attitude was incredible-there were no complaints about the workload at all. All of the surgeries were very successful.
Our second surgical trip to Haiti (Nov 16-19) was an incredible success. We took three Baptist Hospital Surgeons and operated on 48 patients in two and half days. Some of the medical condition were incredibly bad - the entire team (20 people) was delighted to be able to help some of the people that Jesus referred to as "the least of these". Tim Hawkins, an executive at Baptist, organizes all of the people and details for these surgical trips.
One of the surgeons ( Harvard trained) Dr. Michael Canning, emailed me two days after the trip: "Haiti was a life-changing experience for me. Our lives here are so rich and we have so much to be thankful for."
A three year old little girl came into the clinic on 11/18 with a huge abscess on her abdominal wall. The physicians were convinced that she would die in 48 hours without surgery. They operated on her with excellent results. She is expected to make a full recovery.
