Haiti

In 2003 Rick travelled to Haiti for the first time. A friend had told him about a Haitian pastor, Theirry Belade, who was working in the remote mountain communities in the southwest of Haiti and who was in need of help. Miraculously they were able to find each other and a partnership began. 

Over the years, Pastor Belade and his MEPHISH organization have established many churches, most in very remote mountainous areas. Regular conferences are held throughout the year to bring them together for fellowship and Biblical teaching.

We have been able to supply reliable transportation for Pastor Belade who travels many miles through rugged terrain to reach these communities. On a monthly basis we provide support for many practical needs. During a time of food shortage, we partnered with Ontario Christian Gleaners to ship thousands of nutritious meals to those in need. We also supported them when they worked to acquire good farm land near irrigation. Crop production supplies jobs, food, and income. The old saying goes, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.” 

NMM has a CRA approved working relationship with MEPHISH allowing for support to flow smoothy and be compliant with Canadian law.

The strong community spirit and gratitude of the Haitian people spur us on in helping this country known as the poorest in the Americas.
