The Church at the Heart of the Community

Throughout Haiti’s history, the Church has remained one of the nation’s most trusted and enduring institutions. In moments of crisis, when systems fail and hope feels distant, churches often become the first place people turn for refuge, guidance, and support.

Faith in Haiti has never been passive. It is expressed through service, sacrifice, and leadership that meets people where they are. Across the country, churches are stepping beyond their walls to respond to insecurity, poverty, and displacement with compassion and courage.

Yonnouvelayiti works alongside churches to strengthen this role and expand their impact.

Turning Prayer Into Purposeful Action

Prayer remains the foundation of every effort. Through coordinated prayer gatherings and intercessory networks, churches unite believers across regions to seek healing, peace, and renewal for the nation.

But prayer is accompanied by action. Churches are actively engaged in humanitarian response — distributing food, supporting families in crisis, and providing counseling and care. These efforts restore dignity while addressing immediate needs.

Leadership development is equally essential. By equipping pastors and lay leaders with training in ethics, servant leadership, and governance, Yonnouvelayiti helps prepare leaders who can guide communities with integrity.

Key areas of church-led impact include:

  • Nationwide prayer mobilization for peace and reconciliation
  • Community-based humanitarian assistance and care programs
  • Leadership formation rooted in faith, accountability, and service

Churches as Anchors of Stability

In many communities, churches function as more than places of worship. They serve as centers of dialogue, reconciliation, and hope. Through collaboration with civic leaders and diaspora partners, churches gain the support needed to sustain long-term transformation.

These partnerships strengthen local initiatives while preserving the Church’s moral authority and spiritual focus. Faith becomes the foundation upon which communities rebuild trust and resilience.

Serving With Integrity and Courage

Yonnouvelayiti exists to support and amplify what God is already doing through His Church. By aligning faith, leadership, and action, the movement enables churches to serve more effectively and with greater impact.

Restoration begins when faith moves beyond words and becomes visible through service, unity, and perseverance.

“When faith is lived out through action, communities are restored and hope becomes visible again.”
