Violence in Haiti delays an evangelistic radio ministry.

Haiti (MNN)–Turmoil continues to plunge Haiti further into disarray.

Haiti’s government is promising to meet violence with violence in the third week of uprising. Both the political opposition and rebels in Haiti accuse the president of corruption and are demanding his ouster.

Against the backdrop of a broadening humanitarian crisis, Men For Mission’s Bill Evans says the unrest is also interfering with their newest expansion. “We were in the process of trying to erect a tower down in the Jeremie area, and that has caused us to delay that. We don’t want our missionaries trying to drive equipment down through the Gonaives, St. Marc, Port-au-Prince areas with the safety concerns that we would have.”

Men For Missions launched ‘Operation Saturation’, solar power radio distribution. They’re fix-tuned to Radio 4VEH, broadcasting the Gospel. Their plan is to blanket all of Haiti with the hope of Christ.

Evans says despite the turmoil, “We have had the blessing of working on our third downlink site, and that is in Pignon and we actually have just recently, in the last couple of weeks, gotten that downlink station up and running.”
