The
main purpose of MROH is to spread the Good News of Jesus
Christ. Despite the pain and suffering we may endure on
earth, the only way to eternal life is through a relationship
with Jesus Christ.
Through
Christian education, these poor children are being delivered
from the hundreds of years of oppression that has resulted
from Haiti's national religion, "Voo Doo". The
superstition that results from Voo Doo contributes to
the health problems and irrational fears that these poor
children suffer. For example, it is not uncommon for a
family who has an ill child with typhoid, malaria, or
diarrhea to spend what little food money they have to
give to a witch doctor. The witch doctor usually gives
the sick child a small fetish and a repetitious chant
for their parents to recite in the hope that the evil
spirits will leave the child.
The
mission church has a National pastor and serves as a light
in an otherwise dark and dismal land.
