Bible club provides an environment within the church every Saturday for children to learn about Jesus. Even the Voodoo priests will send their children to Bible club for the meal that is provided. Juniper is thankful to be a part of providing the physical food while the pastors provide the spiritual food. Bible club has created great church growth. We continue to have more children waiting to come than we have the finances for.
We assess through the local pastors and during village ministry where there is need for a new church or assist and strengthen an existing church. After a decision is made to plant a church, we work with a local pastor to purchase land. After the land is purchased we raise funds to construct a rustic structure to hold services. Once a congregation is established and stable we then work with the pastor and congregation to construct a permanent church building. Team members are utilized for their expertise in proper construction and work alongside their Haitian brothers and sisters during the construction process. Whether a new plant or strengthening an existing church we provide material and financial support for programs like Bible Club.
Many homes are in dire need of repair. Other homes need to be replaced entirely. We work through the local churches to provide for those with the greatest need.
Teams will attend Haitian church, prepare gear and leave Monday morning for three nights and four days of backpacking. The team will share the love of Jesus Christ and Word of God to those who live in the rugged and unreachable mountains. This ministry is only for those in excellent health & physical condition with an adventurous heart to reach the lost.
Through this ministry posts and fencing materials are provided for a family garden. Teams will work alongside able family members to accomplish the construction.
Most families cannot afford the fencing materials to keep the neighbors goats out of their garden. It is not uncommon to have a beautiful garden at night and wake up to nothing, that is why many villages have given up on gardening. Providing fencing solves most of this problem.
Through this project you have the opportunity to partner with us to plant young native fruit trees to provide an ongoing food source. Posts and fencing will also be installed to protect them from free ranging goats. The reality is families have a choice, purchase a tree that will yield fruit in 4 to 5 years (if not eaten by goats) or spend the money for food for today.
This sustainable solution equips Haitian farmers with the skills needed to successfully raise rabbits as a source of food and income while extending the love and grace of Jesus Christ. This micro-loan program requires the farmers to return five rabbits and the cage to help cover the cost and blesses other families with this same business opportunity. The recommended donation of $60 covers the cost of farmer training, two rabbits, two water nipples, how to raise rabbit manual and a cage.
