The World Council of Churches calls for prayer for the Haitian people

Port au Prince (Haiti Libre): The Executive Committee of the World Council of Churches (WCC) called all member churches to prayer and Christian solidarity with the people of Haiti.

    We pray for God’s compassion for the people of this troubled land, and an answer to their cries.

   The Executive Committee :

   1. Calls on WCC member churches, ecumenical and interfaith partners worldwide – and especially in the United States of America and France – to :

   – Offer persistent and fervent prayers for Haiti, especially for those affected by violence, displacement, and systemic injustice.

   – Help raise awareness of the situation in Haiti, which is too often forgotten or ignored.

   – Engage in advocacy efforts urging their governments to take constructive actions to address Haiti’s humanitarian and political crises, including sustained support for peacebuilding efforts.

    2. Requests the WCC general secretary to :

– Consult with Haitian churches, ACT Alliance, specialized ministries, and other relevant partners to discern and implement effective ways for the WCC to support the ministry of the churches in this context and to express solidarity with the Haitian people.

– Advocate for the international community to provide robust and coordinated support for Haiti, including through increased personnel and funding for the Multinational Security Support Mission and its transformation into a United Nations peacekeeping mission – as requested by the Haitian authorities – and further efforts to stabilize governance, rebuild institutions, and address humanitarian needs.

   3. Encourages ecumenical partners, specialized ministries, and UN system entities to :

– Expand humanitarian assistance to those affected, prioritizing food security, education, medical care, and protection for vulnerable populations, especially women and children.

– Support programmes that strengthen the resilience of local communities, foster social cohesion, and address root causes of violence and poverty.
