Youth Quests International - Haiti Updates
Sharing the blessings of your help in supporting this ministry and the missionaries who
went out this year.
The Haitian projects Youth Quests International is involved with, along with your support, have current needs and prayer requests. We wanted to share with you the future plans for these projects in this area, as well as, what has been accomplished through your assistance and prayers.
The previous team had worked on some crucial improvements for the teams who will be doing follow up work on several projects. They were involved in ministry to the local people as well. The Haiti missions team that arrived in the village near Torbeck on July 18th greatly appreciated all the preparation done for them. This second team worked on building the poultry business that will be the first step for a sustainable agriculture project for this ministry.
Additionally, both teams conducted some special programs with biblical teaching for the children and teens of the area, evangelized and held special services in the evenings. The second team had the privilege of showing the Jesus Film in Creole and handing out tracts to the local people wherever they went. With your help, YQI bought a generator for the ministry that was a great benefit for the cooks, the church with their evening services, the housing for the teams and, of course the Jesus Film presentations in the evenings.
Project Updates and Prayer Requests
Will you pray about the following needs? The dollar amounts mentioned are still needed for the projects.)

Water Well
While working there, we were able to talk with some government officials about drilling a well in preparation for the orphanage we are planning on building. Even though they said that they only drill on government or public lands, they agreed to drill the well for a very reasonable $2000.00. We are praising the Lord for this opportunity to obtain a good source of water for the orphanage and ministry. Pray for the project to progress, continued cooperation, the doors to stay open and the much needed funds.
Poultry Business
The aim of this business is to support and assist the pastors to be more self-sustaining in working with the local people, as well as, generating income for the operation of the orphanage. As of right now, we are currently $2000 short on funds to get this poultry business fully up and running complete with facilities, equipment, feed and chicks.
Improvements To Homes
The crucial improvements included cleaning cement rubble out of a house that will be used to house teams when they come to work in this area and hand digging a well for clean water. We are blessed to be able to use this home when we bring teams to this small village area.
Materials were bought for a special project to help out a Pastor, his family and a couple of orphans that will be living with him. With your help, YQI bought the tin roofing to cover the half of the house where they lived that didn’t have a roof on it. This roof was put up in time for the rainy season and is a greatly appreciated addition.
Orphanage Projection
We are currently in contact with a Christian man who has been building several homes in Haiti in cooperation with the Haitian government. He has agreed to build the Haitian orphanage in this area employing local people and using good materials for the low cost of $15 per square foot! Our goal is to start with a 2000 square foot facility that would only cost $30,000; then with the water available, the orphanage would be in a good position to be a blessing to many in that area.
Adoption in Progress
The orphans need hope and a future; currently it is our
opportunity to help an orphan girl be adopted into a Christian family in the USA. The lawyers in the country have been working on the adoption. The family needs another $3,000.00 to complete the adoption process.
Thank you so much for your interest in missions and the
assistance you have already given. May the Lord richly bless you!
How To Get Involved!
You can get involved with Haiti short-term mission trips, work / humanitarian aid and evangelism teams by:
- joining us on a Haiti missions trip
- by helping someone else who feel called to go
- supporting missionaries who do go
- supporting the projects through your prayers first of all
- your financial assistance
Haiti mission trip teams will fly to Port-Au-Prince, spend a short time in PAP then travel to the project area in Southwestern Haiti near Les Cayes. You will be working on various humanitarian aid projects throughout your stay including agriculture transformation, sustainable agriculture projects and improvements, evangelism and Biblical teaching to a group of youth and adults hungry for the Word. You will also have the privilege of evangelizing in the nearby areas around the village, bringing hope to the lost and being an encouragement for many others. There will be countless opportunities for ministry and spiritual mentoring in your leisure times and social activities.
