A Week of Outreach: The Port-de-Paix Crusade
From April 6 to 13, eight churches joined together in the heart of Port-de-Paix for a powerful gospel crusade. With worship echoing through the streets and the Word of God boldly proclaimed, this week-long gathering brought light and life to many in the community.
Due to ongoing safety concerns in Haiti, the churches chose not to travel far but instead hosted the crusade right in the church yard. A large platform was built, sound equipment was installed, and worship teams from across the region came together to lift up the name of Jesus. The yard was filled each night with believers and seekers alike—standing, singing, and surrendering.
And God moved.
Fruit of the Crusade:
• 15 people accepted Jesus as their Savior.
• 19 people were baptized in the ocean.
• 7 couples were married—after faithfully attending church for years, these couples took the step to formalize their union, supported by LCH and the local church.
On Saturday, the whole community gathered at the shoreline for baptisms. With songs of praise and prayers rising, one by one, new believers stepped into the water—some with tears, others with wide smiles—all with hearts ready to follow Jesus. Pastors and leaders stood beside them, declaring their faith and guiding them into the waters of new life. The ocean, a symbol of cleansing and renewal, became holy ground as 19 individuals publicly proclaimed their trust in Christ.
This moment—so simple and sacred—was a powerful witness to everyone watching. And thanks to your support, each baptized believer received a Bible of their own, a gift they now hold as they begin this new journey with God.
Getting married is another step of obedience that many couples deeply desire, but it’s often financially out of reach in Haiti. The cost of a dress, food for guests, or legal documents can be too much. During the crusade, seven faithful couples were able to marry with dignity and joy, thanks to funds provided by LCH and the local church. These weddings were beautiful, heartfelt celebrations of commitment and God’s grace.
Thanks to your support, we were able to cover gas, water, and supplies—but one of the most meaningful gifts was the Bibles. While there still aren’t enough for every student or church member, these Bibles are cherished, shared, and read with joy.
In a country where resources are often scarce and daily life is marked by struggle, this crusade was a week of renewal and hope. The gospel was clearly heard, and lives were changed.
Thank you for standing with us. Please keep praying for the people of Haiti and for the mission of Lasting Change Haiti to continue bearing fruit—one life at a time.
New brothers and sisters wait their turn to be baptised.
