Life Hope In Haiti
Is a Non-profit organization founded in 2015 in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti lead by three young men who had raised in the orphanage at the North West Haiti Christian Mission , Port-de-Paix, Haiti . Our goal is to bring Shelter and hope in the lives of the children in Haiti. We are here to provide a good education for them, make sure they eat three times a day and prepare them for the kingdom of God.

Betany Clercivil
Founder/Pastor/Supervisor
Hello I am Bethany Clercivil. I was born into a family where my parents could not afford to feed and send me to school everyday. My father and mom had eleven children.
My parents saw all of my siblings die and decided to send me into an orphanage in Port-de-Paix, where I would be able to go school and have a meal every day.
Growing up in an orphanage; I am so happy to say thank you to every American and Haitian families who supported and took care of me during this difficult time in my life.
And now I encourage everyone who will reads this short testimony of my life to support us with our kids program where we provide school, food, shelter, teaching them about God, Bible teachings, treated water, electricity and love.
I encourage you to take a look at our mission and be involved as little or much as God has put in your heart. Thank you

Hi there, my name is Alex Joseph. Today I am so pleased to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born into a family of four brothers; one who has passed away. Four of us are living and there is one brother that has been missing for almost 30 years. I never got a chance to meet him in person. His father took him and never returned. According to my relative, he is possibly alive. I am praying everyday to meet him. My mom and dad passed away when I was a little baby boy. I didn't even get a chance to remember their faces. My relatives put me in an orphanage where I was able to receive an education, food, clothes, etc. As a man who has grown up in an orphanage, I have decided to join the Life Hope in Haiti team to help the organization and less fortunate children in Haiti receive the care they deserve. I would like to encourage you to join us today by getting involved with the organization. We appreciate your kindness from the heart. May God bless you all and your families.

Jonel Benoit
Director of Education
I am Benoit Jonel. I was born in a modest Christian family of three children at St. Michael-de-I'Aattalaye in the department of Artibonite. Very soon after I was born, at 13 months of age, my father left for eternity. My brother and my sister, who are twins, were sent to an orphanage and I stayed--sometimes I lived with my grandmother, sometimes my uncle, and sometimes my mother. Being born in the church, I became a Christian at a very young age. The Lord Jesus in his love and in his grace filled me. On the other hand, the absence of my father was not impacting my life. What I am today has nothing to do with an orphan of a father and a poor mother. God has done amazing things in my personal life and in my family. This is why I place myself at his disposal, in order to please him throughout my existence
Jim Mitchell
Co-founder/Consultant/Secretary
Hello, my name is Jim Mitchell. My story starts as a child with two brothers and a sister. My parents were two of the most loving people who gave unconditional love to all of their children. They were both teachers and I can remember my dad saying to treat others as you want them to treat you and help your fellow man. These values have stuck with me as I worked in the career of special education assisting individuals in becoming functioning citizens within their community. During my career, I met a fellow coworker who gave me a prayer - The Prayer of Jabez. She said that it was a very simple yet powerful prayer. After saying the prayer, I add my own special prayer to God. Each time I said the prayer, my request was answered. Upon asking the Lord how I could thank him, he said to tell everyone you meet about this prayer and how it has impacted your life. In November of 2020, I asked God for a purpose in 2021. The very next day, I received a friend request from Pastor Betany from the church of Bethany Tabernacle de Louage in Port-Au-Price, Haiti. We spent some time getting to know each other and started a Go-Fund Me account to purchase a keyboard for his church and a wheelchair for a gentleman who had a hereditary condition that left him without his lower legs and feet. With the gracious assistance from my church - Autumn Ridge Church of Rochester, Minnesota, I was able to fly to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, where I learned their culture, their relationship with God, their extreme need for assistance. My two-week trip was absolutely amazing and definitely a game changer in my life. I am not the person I used to be. I encourage you to get involved with our mission in whatever capacity you are able. We need both volunteers and donations. We appreciate your generosity.
My name is Junie Jean Baptiste. I have been a Christian since I was 13 years old when I was sck as a child. I'm a nursing graduate and experienced ambulance nurse.
