The Food Crisis in Haiti

Haiti is in the worse food crisis we’ve ever seen. This is due to economics, gangs in the streets, fear, great political instability, and much more… An over 85% unemployment rate, the earthquake, and the list goes on. The children suffer the most. Our hearts are torn out with sadness.

We are thankful to “Feed My Starving Children.” Last month, they gave us 11 containers (each container has 272,160 meals onboard). Mark Crea, the Executive Director/CEO of Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), told me they would be giving us three extra containers per month for the rest of the year. The Haitians call the FMSC meals “ti pa nou,” “just a little for us.” The Haitians absolutely love their ti pa nou. The Haitians even write and sing songs about how they love their ti pa nou!

Here is how it works. FMSC must raise $65,000 per container to purchase all the ingredients. FMSC then donates the container of food to Love A Child. Then it cost us around $10,000 to have the container shipped from Minn. down to Miami, then put on a ship then shipped into Haiti. Then, we must move it through customs, paying all the different costs. Then we must pull the container here to the Love A Child “Kingdom Connection Food Distribution Center” and then distribute it into the many different areas where families are desperately waiting for their meals. We are doing this through all the chaos of these gangs and other obstacles.

We need your prayers for the safety of all the food deliveries to the many different locations.

When you have 14 or 15 containers, sometimes less, coming in per month, costing $10,000 per container, the burden grows heavy.

Faith doesn’t know we don’t have all the money!

We have support for about 35% of the containers which arrive. Thank you for your prayers.
