Causes that need your
urgent attention

The Soul Winning Missions’ (SWM) motto is “Community empowerment using education, medical, and economic development to the glory of God!”  We are a 501(c)3 association and our causes are reflective of the motto: the sewing school teaches women a skill that leads to self-reliance; philanthropic educational scholarships currently extended to 12 children will ultimately lead to self-reliance and esteem; supplying Bibles and spreading the Gospel by ministering to pastors, evangelists, and all we come in contact leads to community empowerment. SWM is also involved in medical missions, feeding programs, and emergent humanitarian support when needed.

In September of 2020, SWM funded the cleaning of the streets in front of the school to make a way for the children to attend school.  In addition to cleaning the street to the school, SWM also funded the cleaning and preparation of the school for the children to attend.  Opening the school in Cite du Soleil has accomplished our goal for the school in 2020.  SWM supports the 8 children living at the Good Samaritan Foundation providing for their physical and spiritual needs on an ongoing monthly basis.  In addition, we have partnered with a Pastor in Pakistan who is spreading the Gospel and endeavoring to liberate families from slavery.  

The year 2021 has been productive! SWM has continued to supply food, clothing, shelter, and scholarships for education for 11 children.  The partnership with the Pastor in Pakistan has been strengthened and the Lord is moving mightily!!  The ministry is expanding concentrating on Gospel Principles and Discipleship.  The Pakistan fundraiser at the end of 2021 enabled another family of 7 to be freed from slavery!!  

2022 has Haiti in a state of paralysis caused by civil unrest or manifestations, unemployment, schools closed, and the kidnapping of foreigners graduating to kidnapping locals.  The manifestations block off streets and thoroughfares and those in the cars are accosted, asked for money, and harassed.  The manifestations are organized by several main gangs who have dissected the country and rule.  These gangs have taken control of Port au Prince including the port, and the gas terminal.  People in authority and working people do not want to venture out for fear of kidnapping.  What were they expecting to get?  — This tactic speaks to the mind of the kidnappers — they are hungry and hopeless.  The man who walks the kids to school, watches over the house, and drives, when needed, was kidnapped and held for two months. I mean, he had a family and worked.  He is not a wealthy man.   We were thankful that he was released, thinner, and psychologically abused, but alive.  Those up in the country, away from Port au Prince are also reporting manifestations and schools being closed.  There is no law and order in Haiti at this time.   

Even before the assassination of the President of Haiti, Moise Jovenel, the political climate was challenging, and the death of Jovenel has left Haiti prey to gangs, resulting in our travel to the country has been prohibited.  SWM is still supporting the children who are growing like weeds!  Although school is closed, they are home and hungry 😉  They are in need of food, clothes, shoes, and medical attention (when needed). 

We had been trying to bring the two youngest to the United States, but we were unable because they didn’t have strong enough ties to Haiti.  Two of the children also needed medical attention and are doing much better now.   Two of the older kids have been enrolled in a trade school, so they will be able to find work.

The Ministry in Pakistan continues to grow!!  Teaching the Gospel, Baptisms, visiting the sick and enslaved, and feeding the poor is what the Pervaiz Ministry does, every day, day in and day out.  They are dedicated to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and are diligent in exercising their faith.  We are raising funds for the Areef Family who are enslaved at the brick kiln.
