Living Water Christian Mission — Organization Profile
Living Water Christian Mission is a Christian mission located in Gonaives, Haiti, with U.S. support coordinated through Moberly, Missouri. The mission serves Jesus in Gonaives and surrounding communities through churches, schools, health care, nutrition, vocational training, farming, and short-term mission partnerships.
The organization’s core focus is relieving physical and spiritual poverty, primarily in Haiti, through church planting, education, nutrition, health care, and work-training programs. Its mission statement connects this work with the Great Commission, emphasizing evangelism, sound teaching, disciple making, and transformation into the likeness of Christ.
Living Water Christian Mission serves Gonaives, Haiti, and other Haitian communities including Marmelade, Bassin Bilé, and Morne Blanc. The ministry began in 2003 with a growing church and a small school of 17 students. In 2009, it expanded to a church and school in Bassin Bilé near Marmelade, and in 2012 it planted a church in Morne Blanc in northern Gonaives.
The mission operates multiple connected ministries under Haitian leadership. It operates three churches and assists three others, provides two elementary schools, one traditional high school, one high school for adults, a professional and technical training center, a farm, and a health clinic. The mission also supports the Christian Biblical Seminary of the Caribbean, which currently meets at one of the schools while future seminary development is planned on farmland.
A distinctive part of Living Water Christian Mission’s work is combining Haitian-led church ministry with education, medical care, student sponsorship, vocational training, farming, and practical service projects. Its schools and student sponsorship efforts help provide meals and education for children, while the health clinic serves neighborhood residents who might otherwise lack access to care. The farm and professional training efforts are part of the mission’s broader work-training and sustainability focus.
People can engage with Living Water Christian Mission by praying, giving, sponsoring a student, donating through the giving catalog, supporting Rice and Beans for Kids, subscribing to the newsletter, or participating in short-term mission trips. Visiting teams may help with construction, medical clinic service, teaching, preaching, or other work around mission properties, with group leaders asked to apply in advance so visits can be scheduled and hosted well.

Hasten International Ministries — Organization Profile
Hasten International Ministries, commonly presented as HASTEN International, is a Christian medical missions organization based in Kernersville, North Carolina. Its public theme is “Health and Salvation to Every Nation,” drawn from Psalm 67:2, and its work focuses on helping medical and ministry partners bring both physical care and the message of Christ to underserved communities.
The organization’s core focus is supporting Christian medical missions through healthcare, evangelism, local partnerships, supplies, facilities, and financial support for field workers. HASTEN describes its work as supporting physicians, nurses, clinic workers, pastors, educators, and churches who often serve with limited resources in communities with many basic needs.
HASTEN International serves ministry partners in the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Zimbabwe, and the United States. Its mission fields include medical and dental care in Villavicencio, Colombia; a clinic in Gonaives, Haiti; support for medical work in the Dominican Republic; a clinic connected with Workers for Mexico in Monclova, Coahuila; and medical ministry connected with Dama in Zimbabwe. Its U.S. work includes a mobile medical mission effort for impoverished and underserved areas.
The organization operates by funding and supporting local Christian workers who understand the needs of their own communities. HASTEN states that it is often more effective to send funds rather than material goods because indigenous Christian partners can identify what is needed locally, whether that is medicine, transportation, food, medical supplies, or other resources. This approach allows field workers to respond within their own cultural and ministry contexts.
A distinctive part of HASTEN’s ministry is connecting medical care with Christian witness through locally led clinics, church relationships, and practical compassion. In the Dominican Republic, its partner clinic serves underprivileged people and is used on Sundays as a Christian church. In Colombia, HASTEN supports medical and dental services in Villavicencio. In Mexico, clinic workers also travel to villages and churches with medicines, hygiene items, clothing, school supplies, and gospel literature.
People can engage with HASTEN International by praying, giving financially, becoming a Friend of HASTEN, contacting the ministry, or supporting its medical mission fields and domestic mobile medical mission. The organization depends on donations and invites supporters to help provide care, hope, and improved quality of life through gospel-centered medical outreach in hard-to-reach and underserved communities.
