Orphans Ministry  -  Haiti
​

Don Shire Ministries operates two children’s homes in Port-Au-Prince, and also works with local churches, orphanages, and schools to provide support, food, shelter, medical care, and education for these children. One of these homes specializes in helping children with special needs.

The facility currently being used for the Jehovah Rapha House.

JEHOVAH RAPHA HOUSE  (means "The God Who Heals” )

Founded in July, 2012, Jehovah Rapha House focuses on caring for mentally and physically challenged children. Run by Pastor Jean Phillipe Dare and his wife, Madame Yphosia Dare (who is a nurse), JRH is currently at maximum capacity caring for 31 children. In Haitian culture, disabled children are generally viewed as a curse, and they are frequently abandoned and left to die. It is our hope to be able to build a larger facility in the near future so that we may help a greater number of children and challenged adults. Some of the challenged children are literally thrown into dumpsters by parents who can not or will not care for them any longer. Jehovah Rapha House depends on a sponsorship program to help meet the monthly financial needs.

FAITH  IN  ACTION  ORPHANAGE
​
After the devastating earthquake in 2010, Haiti was desperate for help with its thousands of orphaned and abandoned children. Don Shire Ministries began a feeding program for some of these children and eventually rented a home to care for them.
Today, these children are attending a private school and love serving the Lord singing in Haitian churches as the “Faith in Action Children’s Choir”.  Our goal is to raise all of our children into adulthood, training them through the university level or teaching them a trade. Faith in Action Orphanage depends on a sponsorship program to help meet the monthly needs.
