Last summer was a historic moment for the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti (CRCH). The General Assembly (a yearly meeting of pastors and deacons) elected a new president, Pastor Camelus, after nine years of Pastor Elihu’s leadership (see picture below). We assumed the transition could be challenging for the CRCH after a decade of stability in the highest level of leadership. Well, our hunch was right. This fall, many of our projects and programs with the CRCH came to a halt as it reorganized its administration and decision-making processes. Our colleagues in Haiti rightly stood back and allowed the Haitian leadership of the CRCH create a contextualized and long-term solution to these new leadership challenges. However, we did pray for and encourage all involved to work together. While the “dust has not fully settled,” we received word in November that the leadership of the CRCH agreed on a revised administrative structure. Please pray that this new compromise plan will be effective and ministry will move forward!
