North Haiti Mission


North Haiti Mission was founded in 1992 when Clint Goddard received an invitation from Rev. Verdieu LaRoche, Pastor of the First Haitian Baptist Church in Boston, to help the needy, the sick, and the poor, in the village of Caesse, Haiti.  That same year Clint traveled to Haiti with Pastor LaRoche to "spy out the land".

As a young boy, Pastor LaRoche, along with his father, farmed the Caesse land, now owned by North Haiti Mission.  His vision was to use this land inherited from his parents after their death to help educate and feed the children, care for the sick, and bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people in this area.

Clint and his wife, Connie, agreed to help, and were soon joined by others of like mind.  They started with a handfull of children who worshiped and studied under a palm branch-covered pavilion.  Each year teams of volunteer workers from the United States constructed various buildings, and ministered at the mission station in Caesse.

As of March 2006 , we have more than 150 children in our school with 7 Haitian teachers.  We have clean water now, because there are three wells on the property as of March 2002.  One is operated by a hand pump, while the other two are run by generators and a submersible pump.  Water is piped from an 500 gallon water tank to our bathrooms and shower facilities in the dormitory.  Buildings consist of a church, school, school kitchen, utility building, dormitory with room for 27 missionaries, a food warehouse, and clinic that has now been completed!
