Nzunga Mabudiga and Kihomi Ngwemi  serve as a vital link between International Ministries and the Haitian Baptist Convention. Nzunga teaches theology at the Christian University of Northern Haiti, trains assistant professors and preaches in churches. Kihomi works with families in areas of counseling, family planning, and women's health issues. They are presently in the United Stated on U.S./PR Assignment.

 Nzunga writes (on the day following the earthquake): We are writing this message with heavy hearts. We all know what is going on in Haiti with the monster earthquake that has devastated the country. Since we heard the news, we have not been able to sleep. Around one AM, Kihomi looked into my eyes and said she is now realizing how deeply involved we are in Haiti. Haiti is our country and Haitian people are our people. Our hearts are aching.
 
The capital city of Port-au-Prince has been devastated. We are very concerned about the women, children and the families that are forgotten in this society. Those left out of the Haitian societies who have no status, no diploma, no vehicles, and no homes. Those who are the extreme poor who live in ravines, where TV crews won’t go, where there is no road to drive on or drive through. Those we won't see on TV or read in newspapers. Those families are the heart of Kihomi's ministries. How will they rebuild their lives, send their children back to school, pay the hospital bills, eat? This is a big challenge!  

We are calling on all of you to join us in prayer and in responding to these challenges.
