A Lifeline of Hope: 4VEH Radio Strengthens Haiti in Crisis

 


For over 70 years, The Evangelistic Voice of Haiti (4VEH), a Christian radio and television ministry in Haiti, has served as a beacon of hope and a source of spiritual strength for the Haitian people. This is especially true now, as Haiti grapples with immense challenges—political turmoil, economic hardship, and gang violence.


A recent tragedy demonstrated the troubling situation in Haiti as three Christians, American missionaries Davy and Natalie Lloyd and local missions director Judes Montis, were ambushed and killed by a gang as they left church on Thursday, May 23. The families of Davy and Natalie Lloyd have faced challenges in having their remains transported to the United States due to the perilous security situation.

The United Nations reported the first quarter of 2024 as the deadliest for Haitians—around 2,500 people killed or injured by gang violence ravaging the country. The first three months of 2024 were the most violent period recorded by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, with a 53 percent increase in casualties from the previous reporting period. The UN called the situation “cataclysmic,” and it grows worse, with an estimated 360,000 people having fled their homes over the past year.
