An Unexpected Expansion:
In March of 2023 the Bradshaw's were forced to flee their home in Kanaran, Haiti due to a gang war and takeover. Over the course of a week they were able to get their belongings to their community center in Croix Des Bouquets and evacuate to southern Haiti to start over. This was not their plan but it seems that it was in fact God's plan. We know His ways are infinitely better and He led them to safety in a new area called Aquin. They are now living within a fishing village and have begun integrating into their new community while still operating things in Port from afar.

It is still our same mission to Abide In Love and to lead others to ABIDE in this same love too!
We have begun a bible study, english lessons, decompression days, and a movie night at our house. As well as a community partnership with a local couple who has a little resto (restaurant) where we end their family fun day with a community cinema. Families are still our focus group and empowerment is still the name of the game. We have had to physically relocate but after taking several months to get to know our wonderful new community we saw the way God was leading us to, "For such a time as this..." kind of ministry. |
"Lanmou se Limye" Haitian Proverb meaning Love is Light and that is what we will lead with while bringing the Love and Salvation of Jesus to our new friends here in our community in Aquin.

Our newest project is called "Anchor" or "Lank" in kreyol and we are working to directly impact the families & fishermen in sustainability by getting a fishing boat! This boat helps our family and helps open an entirely new side to our ministry where we work with the local fishermen as well as train kids and young adults for this trade. We could not be more excited for this new goal! (Pictured here is Alex teaching one of our neighbor kids how to fish with a fishing pole with multiple lures and hooks.)
