The Haiti Partnership Ministry involves a partnership with Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) and the Free Methodist Mission (FMM) of Haiti, under the leadership of the Haitian area pastors. The ministry focuses on the area of Terre Blanche, the northern part of the island where there is no electricity, potable water, or modern facilities.
Several members of the WPC Haiti leadership team have traveled to this area for more than 20 years. Our prayer is that other churches will join the Lord in His work in Haiti, remembering God has commanded us to "make disciples of all nations" and has given us the power, through his Holy Spirit, to witness of Him locally, in Haiti, and to the "ends of the earth." (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts. 1:8)
