The Call
Won’t Wait

For fifty years God has called and equipped us to share His love throughout Haiti. Through every hardship, the ministry has never stopped — because the Call hasn’t either.

“But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received.” — Acts 20:24

Who We Are

Equipping Boots
On The Ground

From the very beginning, HEF believed that God wanted us to raise up, support and encourage the local Haitian body of Christ to minister to the community.

God has continued to bless HEF, ensuring that our ministry has never stopped. As more families move toward the Central Plateau where we serve — leading to increased school enrollment and a greater need for food, space, teachers, and logistics.

We have been able to sustain and expand our work by equipping and empowering over 350 Haitians to serve and teach within their own communities. Thanks to our partnership with Maranatha Church, HEF has successfully grown its ministry efforts year after year.

More than 95 cents of every dollar goes straight to Haiti, funding the work that is going on there right now.

One At A Time

Every Number
Has A Face

Three thousand five hundred meals a day is a number. This is what the number is for — one child, fed and taught and prayed over, five days a week.

Thirteen schools across the Central Plateau. Three thousand five hundred children in all — and every one of them a face.

In Their Words

A Word From Our Leadership

We are deeply grateful for all that God is doing through HEF–Maranatha Ministry, even amid the significant challenges facing Haiti, especially throughout the Central Plateau. Your prayers, partnership, and generosity make every blessing possible.

The Call before us continues, even as Haiti faces hardship. Yet the Call remains as firm and compelling today as it was when it began — unchanged, unwavering, and filled with purpose.

We remember that the same Jesus who came as Emmanuel — God with us — is still with Haiti. That renews our hope and strengthens our expectation: The Call Continues. The story is far from over, and we believe the most powerful chapters of God’s work in Haiti are yet to come.

Kevin & Cindy

On behalf of all the Maranatha Churches of the Upper Central Plateau, Marie and I would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you who, in one way or another, have supported us. Truly, we can say, “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, your love, and your constant encouragement. Because of your support, our schools are well structured and well supervised. The parents and the students have received tremendous blessings, and they are very grateful.
