On the 27th of July, the US Department of State issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for the country of Haiti. This update is due to an increase in kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure, including a confirmed cholera outbreak across the country.
As such, North Carolina Conference UMVIM teams are strongly advised not to travel to Haiti at this time. Additionally, UMVIM insurance nor Missional Exchange Grants will be issued to teams traveling to Haiti until further notice.
We invite you to pray for our sisters and brothers in Haiti during this tumultuous time:
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of
Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
