Jesus said to him: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:37-39
Our mission is "to facilitate the intellectual, spiritual, and character development of Haitians who demonstrate leadership potential and to assist them in becoming self-supporting, responsible, community-minded members of their society."
At the heart of our efforts to fulfill our mission is to develop leadership by creating and empowering small teams of young adults who are committed to helping each other to grow spiritually, intellectually and emotionally. We provide team members with a Biblically based written curriculum designed to build character and promote leadership, along with seminars, workshops and other meetings. We also require and support team-led community projects and provide tuition assistance or job training where appropriate.
