As you have likely seen in the news, the insecurity situation in Haiti, specifically in Port au Prince, has been getting worse. A terribly bold new threshold was even crossed over the weekend when one of the major gangs in Port au Prince kidnapped a bus full of missionaries from the U.S., Canada, and Haiti.

We are currently in the process of trying to help our friends and partners get out of Port au Prince and move to either the countryside or another Haitian city. We are also doing our best to limit any personal information about our partners and beneficiaries online in an effort to keep them safe from kidnappers (we have even redacted information about our Haitian staff on our website for the time being).

We hope and pray that this terrible situation in Port au Prince ends soon. But until we are sure things are getting better, we want to make sure all of our friends in Haiti remain safe. While we don't work in the capital, the security situation of Port au Prince in some ways effects even our most rural partners in the Southeast. We encourage our supporters to pray with us and to look out for ways in the future to help us with moving our friends to safety.
