Get to know Haiti Home of Hope and the Campbell Family!

The Haiti Home of Hope(HHH), is an orphanage ministry in Pignon, Haiti. Pignon is a small peaceful village located in the mountains of the N. Cental Plateu. The HHH ministry houses and provides total care for 35 orphaned children. The ministry also has a feeding center for children out in the community that are in need of nutrition. The ministry sits on 4 acres with an 8 acre garden in back. We have a boys home which currently houses 22 boys and a girls home with 13 girls. The childrens ages range between 1 and 14. The children are served 3 nutritious meals a day. They also are provided an education, clothing, medical and lots of love. There is playground equipment and a library for the children to utilize.

The HHH does not adopt the children out. Our goal is to raise a godly generation of kids who will eventually go back out and make a positive impact on their community.

The feeding center consists of two clinics each Wednesday of the week. The first is a baby formula program, for babies whose mother has died or is too sick to nurse the child. The second clinic is a food distribution of rice, beans and fish, for children 2 years of age and older who are severely malnourished. Jennifer keeps a record of each child who is weighed each visit to keep track of weight gain. Each child is also thouroughly examined for any other health problems it may have. We feed about 50 children and their caretakers through this center.

Special thanks to Pastor and Madam Francois and Philidelphia Baptist Church of Pignon for helping us be a success!

About the Campbell Family: Jennifer and I along with our son Jesse, were commissioned as missionaries to go to Haiti and minister to orphans and widows according to scriptures in the Bible, Psalm 68:5 and James 1:27. We arrived in Pignon, Haiti on Jan. 21, 2003 and plan on staying as long as we can to see some of these kids graduate high school, and start families of their own.

I was a hazardous materials transporter(truck driver) and Jennifer a stay at home mom, when we surrendered to the call of missions. We both sensed a deeper committment or porpose for our lives although we were already involved in different ministries in the church. At some point I remember we were challenged as a church congregation to pray about personal ministry opportunities, even to the point of saying I will do and go where ever God would have me to go. We never imagined it would be as missionaries to Haiti.

We first heard about the need for a family to come and start this new ministry back in 1997. We both wanted to be involved somehow as stateside support. We kept trying to find a family that maybe had been actually trained as missionaries to go, but we eventually found out God had been preparing us our whole lives for just this moment. Our faith was being tested. Did we really trust God enough that he can use simple folks like us to face actual life and death, voudoo occults, starving people. To be honest I was scared for my family's life. Was I being naive or irresponsable to move my family to a third world country such as this? I asked God to help me by convincing everyone in my life, and the church that this was a real, God calling thing and that we needed to go. He did that as well as a lot of other answered prayer, that encouraged and convinced us even more.

So here we are 7 years later. At times it has been almost unbearable, but overall it has been worth it and has brought much joy to see a starving, helpless child come back to life, or a hopless widow find new meaning for her life, through a little love and compassion. It's amazing what just a little help and genuine love can do for someone. The most fullfilling and most important goal, is to share the life changing message of what God did when he sent His only son Jesus, to die and pay the penalty for our sins on the cross. And that they can find forgiveness and everlasting life in heaven when they leave this world. Haiti needs the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. The whole world needs to hear Good News.

I hope you will at least consider what Jesus did on the cross for you. Be honest and ask yourself can I really be certain of the truth? How can you know unless you seriously read some important scriptures in the Bible that talk about life and death? If you dont know then please read the books of John and Romans in the New Testament.

We hope that the HHH ministry is a blessing to all who read about it or are involved in one way or an other. A lot of people have helped us along the way which we are so thankful for. May God richly bless you and give you His peace.
