The Churches of God in Haiti includes 33 churches and mission stations with over 6,900 members. These congregations reported 361 conversions and 160 baptisms in 2009. Over 2,657 students are enrolled in 17 Christian primary schools supervised by the churches. Pastor Pierre Max Normil serves as President of Confèrence des Eglises de Dieu en Haïti which holds its annual assembly the first week in January. A new discipleship training center is under construction at Borel to serve the growing needs of the Churches of God in Haiti.

 

The CGGC ministry of Project Help celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007. Dr. Vic and Donna Binkley (pictured right) have been key leaders in Project Help since 1991 and have also assisted the Haitian leadership in the medical ministry at Pierre Payen. Nearly 8,800 patients were treated at the medical clinic and hospital facilities in 2008. Dr. Binkley was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Spring 2009 and passed away on February 12, 2010. 

Steve and Shirley Mossburg (pictured left) joined Project Help as missionaries in September 2009. They have had a passion for the people of Haiti for several years and are eager to be part of the Project Help ministry. Steve now serves as Project Help Manager.

After his first visit to Haiti in April 2000, Steve asked God to make his life more available to serve in missions. He then began volunteering with Project Help to assist with several work projects. Reading John 15:16 with new understanding in 2002, Steve founded the G.A.P (Go and Produce) Ministry for which he still serves as Executive Director. That organization has mobilized work teams and effectively served a variety of ministries in Haiti, including our own Project Help/Churches of God.

Steve retired from a 32-year career at General Electric in 1997. Since then, he has been a self-emplyed contractor which has allowed him to spend many weeks a year in Haiti serving G.A.P Ministry. Shirley has been employed as a bookkeeper and is gifted in hospitality and encouragement. The Mossburgs have 4 children and 7 grandchildren.


Andrew & Theresa Snyder (pictured right) of the Bare Memorial Church (ERC) have been approved by the CCM Commission for a 2+ months missions internship in Haiti this summer. They have applied to become new Project Help missionaries serving at Borel. This internship is the next step in their potential placement. Pray for them as they continue to prepare, which includes raising support for the internship. Their designated support account is CC 2809.004 (Snyder internship).

 

CCM is currently seeking two missionary candidates to serve as pastoral advisor (based in Saint-Marc) as well as provide leadership training (based in Borel). For more information, please contact Don Dennison at missions@cggc.org
