It is that time of year again… to talk about our Haiti Student Sponsorship for the 2014-2015 school year.

In order to receive an education in Haiti, a child needs a sponsor. Education for grades 1st – 12th is not free in Haiti like it is in the US. A child who grows up without an education will have no future in Haiti and most likely will live on the streets with no means to make money.

Many members of Step of Faith have been in Haiti first hand and have seen the importance of education in this country. SOFM currently has 65 children / young adults enrolled in primary school and college.  2013 marked our first year to sponsor college students, Judsen Jean, who is in seminary, and Chilove, who is in nursing school.

Over the 7 years that I have been in Haiti, I have seen remarkable changes in our students because of education. They receive a Christian education while advancing in their studies.  Our students desire to grow up and be part of the positive change in Haiti. They are looking to become the pastors, doctors, nurses, agronomists, who can give back to their country and make it a better place for all.

We are currently in need of additional sponsors for our children at Double Harvest, outside of Port-au-Prince.

To sponsor a child for one year is a cost of $540 [$45 a month]. You will receive a picture of your student as well as yearly reports and thank you cards. With your generous donation your child will receive a uniform, books, medical, and a meal while in school.

Any amount will help us help these children receive a life-changing education. Donations can be given monthly, quarterly or in one payment.

To sponsor a child, please send your donation to: Step of Faith Ministry / PO Box 805 / Brick NJ 08723. In the memo please indicate that it is for Student Sponsorship Haiti.

If you would like to sponsor, please let us know by August 1, 2014

Whether you chose to sponsor a student, or not, please pray for our children in Haiti. They are the future of that country. We are encouraged to see so many Christian children being raised up.

Thank you ~ Pam
