NEW CENTERS ALREADY SERVING STUDENTS ALL ACROSS THE NATION

Last month we shared the vision for an ambitious plan that would allow Rhema Haiti to continue training ministers in spite of COVID-19 related restrictions, political unrest and gang related road blocks that have frequently paralyzed the nation. The goal was to launch nine “breakout” campuses throughout the country to allow easy access, safe passage and permit appropriately sized groups to gather in light of the social distancing measures put in place by the government. We’re thrilled to report that all nine regional centers are up and running since August 10th and serving our 349 current students.

This month students received packets including SD Cards loaded with over 48 hours of audio & visual class materials and 53 e-books. (Special thanks to longtime friends John & Laura Madan and the ministry of Éditions Victoire in France for the e-books!)

In our next phase of the plan students will have the possibility, when necessary, to gather at their assigned regional campus and follow live classes via Zoom in accordance with government regulations or other emergency measures.

Rhema Haiti graduates, already pastoring in these regions, enthusiastically volunteered to open up their facilities and raise up the teams needed to oversee these operations.

With your support, the ENTIRE project was organized and executed solely by Haitians! We’re convinced this will serve as a prototype for what we’ll be doing in the future as we equip more and more national leaders to help us expand into French-speaking Africa!

The Apostle Paul told Timothy, “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2. This is what drives us! By investing in nations180, you’re helping EMPOWER people who are destined for greatness!

YOU RESPONDED IN A BIG WAY: THE BUDGET TO EQUIP THE REGIONAL CAMPUSES HAS BEEN MET!

Thanks to the generous gifts of our 180partners, the $28,000 budget for launching the nine “breakout campuses” has been met!

The following equipment is being provided in order to enable each location to host “live” virtual classes as well as alumni and training events via Zoom:

• Reliable fibre-optic cable for video conferencing

• Generators for energy independence

• Large screen TV for group viewing

• Laptop computer & Printer

• Sound system with battery powered emergency back-up capability

A NEW MINISTRY COMPUTER HAS Also BEEN PROVIDED for nations180

We’re also grateful to report that the budget to replace our nearly 10 year old ministry computer was also met and this update is being prepared on a new MacBook Pro!

YOU CAN STILL HAVE A PART

It’s not too late for you to bring your much needed supply! TWO VITAL WAYS YOU CAN BE INVOLVED:

1. BECOME A MONTHLY 180PARTNER

The single greatest challenge we face at this time is the need to significantly increase our team of regular prayer and financial partners!

180partners are the heroic men and women who have committed to join forces with us in prayer and make a monthly contribution (of any size). This is what makes it possible to keep our team on the field, plan for the future and ensure funds are available year round.
