About This Mission Grant
Trinity HOPE began working with Lutheran schools in Haiti in 1999. Originally feeding 42 children in one school, the ministry now feeds 65,000 children, teachers, and cooks in over 265 Christian schools across the country. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere where more than 4.7 million people suffer from acute hunger. The children are innocent victims of gang violence, inflation, cultural insecurity, lack of jobs for parents, and the worship of Satan through the Voodoo religion.Â
Eleven of the 36 feeding program directors are Lutheran pastors who visit their schools twice a month to teach lessons from God’s Word. Before each meal a prayer is said, and children profess their faith in Jesus. The children receive the light, love, and warmth of knowing Jesus Christ as their Savior with each meal served.Â
This grant will fund 160,472 meals served to children and teachers over two years.

Trinity HOPE: A Haitian feeding program that brings hope to the children of Haiti, one bowl of beans and rice at a time. The noon meal a child receives through the Trinity HOPE feeding program is life sustaining, and the Gospel message carries their eternity. Children thrive because they are receiving a source of nourishment both physically and spiritually.

Haiti is the poorest country in the western Hemisphere where more than 4.7 million people are suffering from acute hunger. The children are the innocent victims, often unable to safely be outside and only eating one meal every other day. This suffering is not God's plan.
These meals are served in Christian schools throughout Haiti, and a Bible education is a firm foundation for their learning. The children become little missionaries sharing the light and hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the community around them.
Before each noon meal, the children and staff pray to thank God for the provision of food, and the walls of these Lutheran schools are filled with songs of praise on a daily basis. By providing essential nutrition to children in Lutheran schools in Haiti, we show them what the mercy of Christ looks like.
Trinity HOPE will use the grant to reach approximately 425 children at Paul et Isabel, a large school in the rural, Central Plateau region of Haiti. Following the tenants of Jesus' words found in the Gospel of Matthew, each school day the children in this community will receive a nutritious meal. They will hear about the love God has for them.
There is a Haitian saying, "an empty bag cannot stand." We know that children cannot learn, thrive and grow without nourishment. This noon meal provides opportunities for children to retain their learning, not only with schoolwork, but their Gospel education as well. They exude the light and mercy of our precious Savior.
Trinity HOPE provides opportunities for over 400 native Haitians to be gainfully employed. With 36 Feeding program directors employed by the ministry, over 350 cooks employed by the schools, and food purchased from local vendors throughout the country, Trinity HOPE's feeding program contributes to the Haitian economy and helps break through cycles of generational poverty.
