YOUR SUPPORT IS TRANSFORMING LIVES, ONE LISTENER AT A TIME
www.resoundinghope.org
Dots on our world map show countries where Haitians
are listening to 4VEH via the internet, by phone or app.
New media helps reach
Haitians around the world
Did you know that Haitians are listening
to Radio 4VEH on their computers, cellphones,
and other mobile devices around the world, as
well as on radios in Haiti?
Around 10 million people live in Haiti, and
two million more Haitians live elsewhere: in
the U.S., Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica,
Canada, France, and Mexico, among others.
For more than 10 years, Haitians around
the world have been listening to 4VEH on
our website. But last October, a broken-down
satellite system meant we couldn’t get the
broadcasts onto the website, and listeners told
us how much they were missing it! A faithful
donor gave to meet this urgent need, and new,
cost-effective technology is now sending the
signal to partner stations around Haiti, and
via the internet to Haitians around the world.
Please pray for all who listen.
10,000 solar radios given out. None left.
Please send radios urgently!
In 2014, mission teams from the United States and Canada
joined believers from churches in Haiti to share the Gospel
in poor communities. As supplies allowed, the teams left
Resounding Hope radios to bless households as they listen
to Radio 4VEH and to God’s Word in their heart language.
Through this outreach in 2014:
• 18,110 people heard the Gospel.
• 2,105 people made a commitment to Christ on the day
teams visited. (We trust many more have come to Christ
since then).
• 2,700 radios were given out to bless families.
Through your giving to Resounding Hope, you’ve helped bless
10,000 households, or about 60,000 people, with a message of
hope every day. Many more people still need the opportunity
to hear and grow in the hope of Jesus. Help send more radios
to Haiti by making your donation to Resounding Hope today.
