Greetings in Jesus precious name! I am so glad to write you.
My name is pastor Ezena Jean Yvon. I am married, I have 5 children.
My ministry is to preach the gospel and work with the poorest children in Haiti. In this region, many thousands of people are starving to death. Several hundred of poor children are abused by malnutrition and sometimes they spend 3-4 days without eating a hot meal; they are sick of typhoide, malaria, T.B; some others have skin disease. They need education, food, clothes, shoes, and medicine.
Prior to the devastating earthquake that violently shook Haiti in January (2010), Ezena and his son, Samuel, maintained and managed an orphanage and school for about 250 Haitian children in Petion-ville, just south of Port-au-Prince (above figure provided by Wall Street Journal, 2/27/10). During the quake, the orphanage and school buildings were destroyed and therefore many of the children returned to what family they had. At present, Ezena is caring for and shepherding about 20 children, 5 of whom recently needed medical attention.
Through God's grace, Global NIM was able to network with some key international organizations who were able to find Ezena after the earthquake, and provide him and the children with immediate food, water, and medical attention.
Please pray for...
- Global NIM's further communication with Pastor Ezena in the aftermath of the earthquake;
- God to equip Ezena with discernment as he is taking care of these 20 children and his family in this crucial time.
