A Voice in the Wilderness
is a nonprofit ministry that exists to spread the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to a lost and dying world.
Since 1994 we have been involved
in a number of missionary and evangelistic efforts in the United
States and in Haiti.
Beginning in 1995, this ministry
has been instrumental in expanding and maintaining a childrens
feeding program and primary school for disadvantaged students
at the Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Carfu Felle, Haiti.
It is our deepest conviction
that the most effective means of bringing lasting change to the
people of Haiti is to educate, evangelize and equip the Haitian
people themselves. This philosophy has proven to be sound over
the years, and our ongoing partnership with Pastor Jerome Mombien
is the product of this conviction.
His untiring efforts to be
the light of Christ in his community have produced amazing results
for the Kingdom of God. Hundreds of children are fed each day.
Hundreds more have received a basic education free of charge.
Thousands of Gospel tracts and Bibles have been distributed.
And a multitude of lives have been touched and changed by the
power of God.
It has certainly been by the
power of God alone that A Voice in the Wilderness was blessed
to become an instrument of the Gospel in Haiti. We are a small,
grassroots ministry that was started as an umbrella for outreach
and evangelism in Atlanta and has blossomed over the years into
a network of concerned individuals who have a heart for the children
and thus the future of Haiti.
And as we have been faithful
in the small things, the Lord has continued to increase our responsibility
and the focus of our efforts. Because we have striven to be faithful
to take advantage of the opportunities the Lord has given us,
we have seen the feeding program expand from reaching a few children
a few days a week to reaching over 200 children every day.
We have been used by the Lord
to expand the facilities of the Good Shepherd Church. We have
been used by the Lord to supply Christian literature which the
church uses for its many evangelical crusades. We have been used
by the Lord to provide salaries for the teaching staff of the
Good Shepherd School. We have been used by the Lord to provide
medical attention for Pastor Jerome and many members of his household.
We have been used by the Lord to provide assistance to medical
missionaries in Haiti.
Most importantly, we have
been used by the Lord to help our Haitian brothers and sisters
help themselves. . .and in the process they have become great
ambassadors for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We are not a humanitarian
group. We are not a financial provider. We are evangelists who
have discovered the joy of equipping our sister church in Haiti
with the tools and resources they need to reach their neighbors
with the Good News of Jesus. That is our primary goal and function.
But for every need we meet
there are hundreds more that remain untouched. Our work in Haiti
is far from over. We are now seeking assistance for a school
and church that sit far away on a remote mountain plateau. These
wonderful saints have nothing but faith and a multitude of real
needs. It is our prayer that as the Lord has allowed us to visit
this nameless place and discover for ourselves the needs that
exist there that He will once again allow us to be an instrument
of the Gospel and help to meet these needs.
The Lord has told us that
when we meet the needs of the least of His children we have touched
Him as well. This is our motivation to continue with the ministry
that the Lord has placed before us.
He is the Lord of Lords and
King of Kings. We are but a Voice in the Wilderness. . .
Thank you for your interest
in our ministry and may God bless you in all of your endeavors.
