MTM SCHOOLS

The government of Haiti has realized the following statistics about schools in Haiti:
  • 5,000 schools were destroyed
  • 80,000 teachers are now unemployed
  • 1 million students no longer have a school to attend
These are sobering facts that give us even more cause to thank God for what we have & for what Mountain Top Ministries, with your support, can provide to the students of this nation.

Mountain Top Ministries began classes at our schools in the villages of Gramothe & Dumay on Monday. Attendance has not been 100%, but students are coming.
Today we took a few pictures for you at lunch time at the Gramothe school cafeteria.
Please pray for our students. Pray for them to not be afraid. Pray for their families & pray for their desire to be in the classroom to grow with each new day.
Pray also for the Haitian government that they would encourage schools that were unaffected, to remain open for students. We are hearing reports of schools that have opened only for the government to force them to close their doors until ALL schools are able to open.
Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Willem having fun with the students.
