Dear Friends and Supporters:
We praise God and never stop thanking Him for you. Because of you, we can serve families, educate children, and share Christ's love throughout our community. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity continue to sustain the work God is doing through PCMP.
In this newsletter, we are excited to share highlights from our Ladies Conference, as well as several new initiatives and inspiring ways God is working through PCMP!


Church Update: Ladies Conference-Growing in Love and Maturity
From August 8th through the 12th, 150 women from 29 surrounding communities gathered for a 5-day conference on our school campus. The conference’s theme was “Love is the Mark of Maturity,” with I Corinthians 13:2 used as the theme verse. They were reminded that genuine spiritual maturity is demonstrated through Christ-like love. One particularly meaningful topic was “The Behavior of the Woman in the Family.” The women were challenged to understand their God-given influence and responsibility in their homes, marriages, families, and communities. This once-a-year opportunity for the women to gather together for worship, prayer, teaching, and fellowship is an impactful and encouraging opportunity to grow in their Christian faith and walk with the Lord. We thank God for the opportunity to minister to these women and to witness Him at work in their lives.
One woman attending the conference was so deeply impacted that she decided to attend our local church. This is a beautiful testimony that the seeds planted through this ministry are producing fruit and impacting lives.
We are deeply grateful to God and to our faithful supporters whose prayers and generosity make gatherings like this possible. Your partnership is helping us reach hearts, strengthen families, and bring lasting spiritual transformation to Fontaine and the surrounding communities. Thank-you! begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to each of you who faithfully support this mission. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity continue to sustain the work God is doing through PCMP.
Although we face many challenges, we remain deeply thankful for God's continued blessings. One of the greatest blessings is you, our dedicated supporters, who faithfully stand with us in ministry. Your partnership allows us to continue serving families, educating children, and sharing the love of Christ in our community.


A New Initiative: Teaching Practical Skills
Every year, after students complete high school, approximately 90% return to the streets without knowing what to do next with their lives. We want to help change that.
We're offering young people practical opportunities for their future by teaching basic technical skills. This year, 16 young men were trained in basic electrical wiring and in the installation of a small photovoltaic (solar) system.
The young men were eager to learn and excited about the possibility of becoming self-sustainable. The enthusiasm and joy on their faces as they completed their electrical project were very rewarding!
This is just the beginning of a dream that God has placed on our hearts: to establish a vocational school where young people can receive practical training in a variety of skills, including electricity, plumbing, welding, carpentry, and other trades.
Our dream and vision are to equip young people with skills that help them earn a living, support their families, and give them hope for a better future. Please pray with us as we seek God’s direction and provision for this vision.
PCMP Farm Project: Crops and Chickens!
Our garden project has faced several challenges, including our neighbor's goats entering our garden and enjoying a feast! To address this problem, we needed someone consistently on the property to care for the garden and oversee the entire farm.
Through you, God provided the funds to build a home for a caretaker. During this time, we found a dependable caretaker named Elan, who, along with his family, had been displaced from Port-au-Prince due to gang violence. The home is not finished, but it is livable, and the family of 5 recently moved in!
This move has been a blessing in two important ways. It provides a safe place for a family who desperately needed a home and allows them to serve as caretakers of the garden and farm.
We recently added a chicken coop to our farm, and in September we purchased 250 chickens that will be raised to sell and provide not only income for our ministry but also food for our school and community. We also plan to raise and sell rabbits. We pray that these projects will become a blessing to our school, the family living on the farm, and the surrounding community.

Thank you for standing with us and making this ministry possible!
We are so grateful! Our ministry in Haiti would not be possible without God's provision and the faithful support of our prayer warriors, partners, donors, and volunteers. Thank you for believing in our vision and investing in lives that are being transformed for today and for eternity.
As we look to the future, we trust God to faithfully continue the good work he has begun through PCMP and lead us in the days ahead.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
