Imagine your congregation helping a community in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Now imagine working with the highly motivated people of that community to help them support themselves.
Now imagine that it’s already happening…and you can be a part of it now!
And you can contribute at a variety of levels:
SUPPORT THE AGRICULTURAL INITIATIVE
SUPPORT A CHILD'S EDUCATION
Our sister organization, World of God, provides a convenient way to provide a scholarship for a student's education at ICB (Institute Classique de Bayonnais), an accredited and established school that would otherwise be unavailable to them, opening doors of opportunity through quality education. For $40 per month you and your family can begin a personal relationship with a student and their community. You will exchange letters and photographs. You will have an opportunity to visit the student if you are interested in traveling to Haiti.
Your scholarship will provide a uniform, Shoes, School Supplies, Electricity for School, Portion of teachers’ salaries, Access to a library, and one hot meal each day. Give a child a opportunity to improve their life and achieve all they can!

SUPPORT THE SCHOOL
Education is the cornerstone of the OFCB ministry. The OFCB founders believe it is the only way to truly change the circumstances of the people of Bayonnais and Haiti.
The highly successful school has 2,000 preschool through high school students, 60 teachers and additional support staff. The school provides the students one meal each school day and for some of the students it is their only meal. While the parents pay tuition as they can, (many cannot) there is a continuous need for funds to keep the school operating.

Help fund the growing medical clinic that is staffed by members of the community who found unprecedented opportunities for medical education through OFCB. Read the latest clinic status report here.

JOIN US ON A MISSION TRIP
Visiting OFCB Ministries in Bayonnais, Haiti is one great way for you or your church to truly connect with our brothers and sisters in Haiti. The continued support for the OFCB ministry depends on relationships between people as we work together. During a typical mission trip time is spent getting to know the people of OFCB Ministries and the people of Bayonnais. The guest house can accommodate up to 12 people. If one or two folks from your church wish to go, there is often space with another church group.

SUPPORT THE AGRICULTURAL INITIATIVE
Most farmers in the Bayonnais region work every day to survive. They have few tools and face challenges from rocky, hilly terrain, soil erosion during heavy rains and low crop yields due to lack of fertilizer and insecticides. A community garden was established in 2012 on land surrounding the medical clinic. Here, the OFCB Agronomists demonstrate modern farming techniques and do workshops with local farmers.
- Agronomy Program Focus
- Increase production yields by teaching farmers modern agricultural practices
- Soil conservation and erosion control
- Monitor environmental quality
- Community Education Workshops
- Composting Programs
- Established a small store of agricultural inputs (seed, fertilizer, etc.) for local farmers
