Missions Door has been ministering in Haiti since 1992.

On January 12, 2010 an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale hit 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After initial rescue and relief efforts, the present focus is on reconstruction and development. This includes:

MEDICAL
A medical clinic that provides medical care to people at affordable prices in the community of Santos in Port-au-Prince.

BUILDINGS
1. Improving the facilities of churches that were affected by the earthquake.

2. Partnering with the local government of Cabaret, north of Port-au-Prince, which has donated land to build a village that will have 30 houses, a school, a clinic and other facilities. 

3. Building new churches and schools in some of the tent cities in Port-au-Prince.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
1. Building water purification plants that will provide safe drinking water at affordable prices. These plants will also provide jobs and income to the ministry.

2. Funding economic development projects sponsored by the Christian Center for Integrated Development (SKDE) that will provide jobs for hundreds of Haitians.
