Dear FGIM Family,

Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you well and that you had a blessed Christmas. As we step into 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact we've made together as a ministry, thanks to your unwavering support.

Looking back at 2023, we acknowledge the challenges and difficulties faced by the people of Haiti, which also affected our organization. Despite these hurdles, your support has been a beacon of hope, and we count our blessings because of you.

Every gift, prayer, and fulfilled need has been a testament to the Lord working through you to advance His Kingdom work in Haiti. As we enter the new year, we find ourselves in the midst of a critical economic challenge. Your continued support is vital to keeping our doors open and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ in Jacmel.

In James 4:2, God teaches us, "You have not because you ask not." Today, we humbly come to you, our FGIM Family, asking for your help in reaching our goal of raising an additional $50,000. This amount will enable us to meet our ministry budget and continue the essential work the Lord has called us to do in Haiti.

The reality we face in Haiti is harsh, with the rising cost of living making it challenging to cover operational costs, especially for our Haitian staff, security, and essential personnel caring for the girls at Faith House Orphanage and the Transition Home.

As you prayerfully consider your giving in 2024, know that your support reaches beyond the walls of FGIM in Haiti. It brings hope and joy to countless families and allows us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a spiritually dark place.

If you're open to it, we would be honored to visit your church in 2024. Once again, thank you for being a beacon of hope for our FGIM family in Haiti.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact Amie at amie@fgimwitness.org. Thank you for your unwavering support.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Loriphine St Louis

Co-Founder of FGIM

We are delighted to share the heartwarming moments and significant achievements that unfolded in our ministry over the past month. The girls and the dedicated staff experienced a truly magical Christmas celebration this year. On the night of the 23rd, as the girls peacefully slept, the staff worked tirelessly to place a multitude of Christmas gifts under the beautifully adorned tree. Uncertain about what the morning held, the girls were pleasantly surprised to wake up to the sight of personalized gifts waiting for each of them. The joy and excitement filled the air as they unwrapped their presents, cherishing every moment of the festive morning.

The highlight of our Christmas festivities was on the 25th when we gathered for a splendid Christmas dinner that brought together the girls and the staff. The celebration commenced with a heartfelt time of worship and prayers, setting a warm and grateful atmosphere. Following this, the girls showcased their talents through delightful dances, soulful songs, and a captivating skit. Laughter and music echoed through the venue, creating a memorable and joyous atmosphere.

Our Christmas party featured a buffet-style meal that catered to everyone's tastes, adding to the delight of the day. Amidst the festivities, we took the opportunity to honor some outstanding girls for their hard work throughout the year. Each staff member was recognized and appreciated with a thoughtful gift, acknowledging their dedication and commitment.

Additionally, various activities, from birthday celebrations to dynamic meetings, sports participation, and engagement in the Christmas Market, have taken place in our Transition Home.

We express our deepest gratitude to all our generous donors whose contributions made this beautiful Christmas celebration possible.

Over the past two months, our church in Jacmel, Haiti, has been incredibly active, hosting a series of meaningful and engaging events that have left a lasting impact on our community. These recent weeks have been characterized by a flurry of celebrations and spiritual gatherings, fostering a sense of togetherness among our members. The month of November began on a joyous note with our Family Day picnic. This event brought church members together for a friendly picnic, strengthening the bonds within our community.

At our yearly Community Children's party we had 300 children from the community and 50 volunteers. Seven of the children made decisions to follow Christ during the Christmas party.  We thank all those who donated to help us put on such a blessed event.   

Christmas Eve, was marked by a warm Church Members Meeting, where all members gathered for moments of prayer, reflection, and gratitude. This occasion reinforced our sense of belonging to a united community. 

As the year came to a close, we dedicated December 29 to celebrating the youngest members of our community with a Children’s Ministries Celebration. This special day emphasized the significant role children play within our church, encouraging their spiritual development.

A baptism ceremony took place on Sunday, December 31, 2023, during the church service where we baptized 6 people, one of them was Nahomie from our Faith House. Finally, to conclude the year beautifully, an Adoration Evening was organized on December 31, for an evening of praise, celebration, and to express gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings received throughout the past year. 

In December, the School marked the 4th month of the 2023-2024 School Year with a range of activities and achievements. Notably, year-end festivities were celebrated, featuring engaging events organized by students from the primary and secondary sections. The festivities included readings, songs, dances, chair and sack games, and gift exchanges. Moreover, a fair showcased food products in the school courtyard for teachers and students. The month also saw significant milestones such as assessments for the first examination in the Preschool Section and the release of results for the first examination in the Fundamental and Secondary Sections. Additionally, objectives like the registration of 9th-grade students for state exams and parent meetings for Fundamental and Secondary Sections were accomplished, contributing to a successful month at the school.
