For $20 you will provide a Haitian woman with the following:

Bethesda Evangelical Mission or B.E.M. is a non-profit organization that ministers to thousands in Haiti. If you are unfamiliar with this organization, feel free to browse around this site and read the updates from various mission trips. 

2nd Annual Women’s Conference June 20-22nd. 

  The conference will provide encouragement, 
time in the Word, as well as, praise and worship. 

Again and with your help, they will also provide
transportation to and from the event,
three meals per day and a conference t-shirt.
These things are a true privilege and blessing to the women attending this conference.
Many would never get the opportunity to experience an event like this nor eat more than one meager meal per day.

This woman was found to have traveled the farthest
in order to attend last year's conference.
She walked 5-6 hours just to be able to get transportation to take her to Les Cayes.

JUST ONE WOMAN

CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

In 2008 Haiti was hit by four hurricanes creating much suffering across the island. Some of us were deeply concerned that, while some pastors had cell phones, those phones could not be used to keep the central church informed as to their welfare, because they had no way to re-charge them. We became aware that some did not even have radio contact because batteries are short-lived.

Purpose:
To help Haitian people cook their food less expensively and to help reduce the amount of trees that are cut down each year for the purpose of making charcoal.
80 years ago, Haiti was 60% forested. Today less than 2% is forested.

The BEM Small Loan Program will be set up in the months to come. Supporters will be provided opportunities to help Haitians set up small businesses by way of small loans. The goal is to help the local people to become self-sufficient and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in Haiti.

Stay tuned for more details to come...

General Education

The food collection and distribution program has taken on new meaning lately. With the destruction caused by the earthquake in Haiti in January, we have stepped up efforts to collect and distribute food to the Haitian community.

There are a number of Dropoff locations around the state of CT where you can donate the currently needed items.

These items will be packed into containers and shipped to Haiti on regular basis.

Purpose:
To respond to the request of Pastors for recognition of theological studies through BEM;
To equip workers with a more extensive understanding of the Bible, Theology and Pastoral Practice for the work of the ministry.

You Can Make Poverty History
The average Haitian families are living on less than a dollar a day. Millions of Haiti's children are all to familiar with extreme poverty. It has robbed them of hope and threatens to steal their future. We can help these children experience the fullness of life that God offers.

Water is LIFE, and if we are in the life-changing business we need to provide that which sustains life!

Due to the lack of water sanitation in Haiti, BEM takes action along with the spread of the Gospel by providing clean drinkable water to the villages we serve. According to the latest statistics, 85% of illnesses that occur in Haiti is a direct result from drinking unclean water. BEM has made this well digging project one of its main goals.
In every area BEM has planted a church, we aim to provide a well to these communities.
