School students


These are students at Demichel. Pictured is a preschool class and a 5th grade class.. There are 6 grades and approximately 100 students gathered in 3 rooms. There are no individual school desks, there are no windows and no air conditioning, there is no concrete floor, many of them don't have books, notebooks and pencils are luxuries, but the children are eager to learn and there are no complaints. Government schools in Haiti are overcrowded and few so the majority of the children need to go to a privite school. It is expensive for the parents to send their children to school which results in many of them staying at home. God's Missionary Church has been providing quality education for many underprivilidged children for years. Although it requires financing from the churches back home it is important that we help these children get a good christian education. It is an opportunity to share the gospel with the children and help them to grow spiritually for many are not taught in the home. We appreciate your prayers for this ministry.
