Holy Week devotions from global missionaries

Enrich your faith practice by reading a devotion on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday from missionaries serving the church around the world.
Lovius Joseph pulls a donkey in Picmy, a village on the Haitian island of La Gonave, where Service Chrétien d’Haïti is working with survivors of Hurricane Matthew, which struck the region in 2016. SCH is a member of the ACT Alliance. Donkeys are an important part of SCH's emergency response on La Gonave. They provide families with transportation along rocky hillsides, helping them get their agricultural harvest to market and helping women carry water long distances.

The prayers are available in an audio format in addition to text, so you may listen to the missionary say the prayer in their own native language.

Residents of all three towns can come to get water, and volunteers will also continue deliveries for those who need it. Meanwhile, residents, including church members, continue to advocate state and local officials for a permanent solution to their aging, compromised water infrastructure. Full Story
