An education gives each child a real chance at breaking the cycle of poverty so prevalent in this country. HCM schools give Haiti's young hope for a better tomorrow. The students are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and other basic courses in French. Each student takes the government's official test at the end of our program. A Haitian child's thirst for knowledge is great and is hampered only by physical hunger and poverty. Our goal is to place a school in every city or village where an HCM church stands.

HCM's newest ministry, the Superior Institute of Translation and Interpretation, opened in the year 2000. Located in Port-au-Prince, this post secondary school gives some of our high school graduates an opportunity to learn English and develop a valuable career skill. With translation skills, the students will have the opportunity to get jobs as interpreters with UNICEF, USAID, CARE and Christian organizations serving Haiti. Our ultimate goal is not simply to offer career training, but to be able to place these Christian students in contact with Haitian leaders and serve as a godly influence in the future of Haiti. With additional gifts and support, HCM's long-term plans are to build a separate facility for this new center.

HCM conducts a leadership training program at least once a year for its pastors, teachers and church workers. Bible school professors and pastors from the United States volunteer their assistance to this ministry. Through the years, HCM churches and schools have raised up new Christian leaders who now work as teachers, nurses, pastors and administrators. They often serve HCM or other Christian ministries in Haiti.
