Hope For Haiti

As the dust settled on Port-au-Prince, hope was the last thing anybody could see. When the earth shook, his whole neighborhood disappeared. Now a boy and his mother are living in the soccer stadium, in a shelter made of tin and bedsheets, with long lines for food and water. But even with so much sorrow all around, he finds a child playing with a soccer ball made of rags. Soon many children are caught up in the magic of the game that transports them out of their bleak surroundings and into a world where anything is possible. Then the kids are given a truly wonderful gift. A soccer ball might seem simple, but really it's a powerful link between a heartbroken country's past and its hopes for the future. Jesse Joshua Watson has created an inspiring testament to the strength of the Haitian people and the promise of children.

Hope for Haiti is, in the purest sense, a labor of hope and of love. The main title of the book needs only three little words to capture the vision described on the pages inside. That vision is for Christians to partner together to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the Haitian people. Employing stories, analysis, photographs, and art, Hope for Haiti seeks to accomplish two goals. The first is to tell the story of God's work in building his kingdom among the people of Haiti through Pastor Jean Jacob Paul and Souls Winning Ministries, in partnership with Reformation Hope. Thus on the one hand Hope for Haiti is a history of one recent mission partnership laboring in the West Indies. The book's second goal is to guide other potential short-term and long-term missionaries as they prayerfully consider and plan for joining the Great Commission effort among the indomitable people of Haiti. Hope for Haiti invites the reader to walk beside Pastor Paul as he engages the men, women, and children of his land of birth. It also presents the ups and downs, and the joys and disappointments experienced through ten years of ministry, partnerships, and development in the outlying areas northeast of Port-au-Prince and in other areas of the country. Mission successes and sometimes setbacks are recounted so that the lessons learned may be analyzed and explained for the benefit of others who may one day also go to share Christ's love with the people living in what was once known simply as "The Pearl of the Caribbean."

Come along on my 30 year love affair with Haiti! Well, almost thirty years have come and gone since my first visit to Haiti, and I am no longer the young, idealistic woman who took on the challenge of helping to improve the lives of the children of Haiti. In fact, now my children not only have children, they have grandchildren, which make me a great grandmother! Looking back, in many ways it is ironic that my long-term involvement in Haiti came as a result of a little girl simply asking if I could help pay for her to go to school. I am not only very grateful to her, but to all of the children that I have been able to assist. From my "moonlighting" to raise $120 to educate that first student while volunteering for AmeriCares, to facilitating the acquisition and distribution of tens of millions of dollars of medical supplies after the devastating 2010 earthquake, it has been a "hellu'va ride"--One that has truly enriched my life! Throughout my journey, my family has been most understanding, gracious and very supportive in every way. However, the biggest surprise, and my greatest pleasure, has been to have my granddaughter, Tiffany, take over my role and greatly expand the work of Hope for Haiti! Although I shall continue to serve the people of Haiti for as long as I am able, clearly it will require the dedication of members of the next generation, if Hope for Haiti is to continue to prosper. I pray that they will do so. --Back cover
