| ABOUT US
Beacon Ministries, Foreign Missions in Haiti, is a non profit, charitable organization,
formed for the sole purpose of showing the love of Jesus Christ by
helping the people of Haiti to live productive lives
and realize their dreams of being self-sufficient.
Our job there is to: EDIFY, ENCOURAGE and ENABLE.
" Therefore encourage one another and edify one another... get to know those who labor among you...and hold them in very high and most affectionate esteem in appreciation of their work.
Be at peace among yourselves." ( 1 Thessalonians 5:11-13 )
 
  
Fact: Almost half of Haiti's population is under 14 years of age
with a median age of 17
Life expectancy in Haiti = 51 years
They don't need our ideas, they need us to help them with theirs.
"For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the expectation and hope of the meek and poor shall not perish forever." ( Psalm 9: 18 )
We have joined together with O.P.K.P (An Association of Countrymen) village Pastors and Church Leadership who have devoted their lives to helping the people. They can direct us to the most urgent needs and give us information about what is needed and where.
" For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me and I was in prison and you came to me." ( Matthew 25: 35-36 )
We are a team of two people, Neil and Barbara Yates, who make regular trips to Haiti. We raise funds here in the United States to go directly into the ministry. We have set up this ministry so that ALL of our travel expenses and administrative costs are paid separately,
so that all donations can go directly into the projects.
100% of donations are used for the purpose and project it is given to.
Our home church ( River of Life Fellowship ) is also overwhelming in it's support to this ministry.
They provide partnership and spiritual cover.
Pastor Henry and Martha Schick are members of our Board of Directors.
WE GIVE THEM HOPE FOR TOMORROW IN ADDITION TO PROVISION FOR TODAY
"Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him, who wait for Him
and hope in his mercy and loving-kindness to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine."( Psalm 33:18-19 )
We represent Jesus to these people and we may be the only ones who will tell them
about the only true hope of a better life, now and for eternity.
" My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope
and expectation are from Him." ( Psalm 62:5 )
