ONE GOD.
ONE LORD.
ONE SPIRIT.
ONE COMMUNITY.
Over 2000 families have received much needed food relief from UCI--over 200 families are from Port-au-Prince. Over 100 families struggling in Port-au-Prince receive financial aid from UCI.
Praise God:
> banks opened so we could get the funds sent to help with this
> we found gas (even though it is sooooo expensive at $15-20/gal)
> we have contacts that could supply us with bulk food
> the truck with food made it safely to UCI
> our church’s women’s group generously helped pack and distribute the food
Some sobering statistics of the situation in Haiti:
> over 362,00 internally displaced families in Haiti
> UN reported millions in Haiti suffering from food insecurity; 44% of population facing acute hunger; hundreds dying each day from hunger
> 53% yearly food inflation rate
> 4,789 documented murders in 2023
> 26% of female population have been victims of rape
A 9-member Council of Ministers was installed 2 weeks ago. Last Thursday the 7 voting members elected a President (Edgard Leblanc Fils). Please pray for hearts that want to help the country. Thank you for your prayers and support.
Who We Are
JeanJean and Kristie Mompremier founded United Christians International (UCI) in 2003 and returned to JeanJean’s birthplace in 2005. UCI’s primary goal has always been to teach the Word of God. As a result, over 30 witch doctors have turned to Christ, churches have been planted in far-reaching communities, and communities have transformed from despair to hope.
Teaching. Equipping. Uniting.
Helping people know and experience God by teaching, equipping, and uniting.
Teaching
The Words of God
Our goal is to provide quality Christian education to our rural areas, with a big emphasis on providing a safe and encouraging learning environment, resources, and hiring certified teachers with a heart for the Lord.
Equipping
National Leaders
UCI continues to grow and meet the spiritual, medical, educational, and agricultural needs of the community, while touching the lives of Haitians through sharing, studying, and living out the Gospel.
Uniting
Christians Around the World
God has used UCI to not only unite Christians in the surrounding 9 villages in Caiman, but throughout the world through short-term missions teams and service projects.
Ephesians 4:3-6
"Work hard to live together as one by the help of the Holy Spirit. Then there will be peace. There is one body and one Spirit. There is one hope in which you were called. There is one Lord and one faith and one baptism. There is one God. He is the Father of us all. He is over us all. He is the One working through us all. He is the One living in us all."

Graduation Universite Chretienne de la Communaute de Caiman - UCCC!!!
Look and marvel and what the Lord has done:
When UCI came to Caïman in 2005, there were 2 small houses, no running water, electricity, or telephones, and only goat paths—Now there is a Christian university!
There used to be vodou drums each weekend night— Now there are songs of praise!
There is violence and instability in many parts of the country—But here are students educated and dedicated to transforming Haiti!
God is to be praised!
Psalm 46:6-10
“Nations tremble and kingdoms shake. God shouts and the earth crumbles. The Lord All-Powerful is with us; the God of Jacob is our defender.Selah Come and see what the Lord has done, the amazing things he has done on the earth.He stops wars everywhere on the earth. He breaks all bows and spears and burns up the chariots with fire. God says, "Be quiet and know that I am God. I will be supreme over all the nations; I will be supreme in the earth."Thank you from these students. You gave them an opportunity to transform their lives and to initiate change in their country. It wouldn't have been possible without your generosity. Thank you for your support.
If you desire to help a student, there are many on the waiting list for help to continue their studies. These scholarships remain a priority for UCI. Please contact me for any further information you need.[email protected].

University Student:
Agronomist Castro Saintelus
Hello. It is an undeserved privilege that God has given me to communicate with you. I am Saintélus Castro, I am a level three agronomy student, I am an Evangelist. I really enjoy working for God and talking about the greatness of God. My mother's name is Jean Jacques Catherine, she is a woman of courage; and it is with pride that I would like to say she is my mother and also my father because she plays both roles at the same time, since at the age of two my father abandoned me. I have two sisters and a little brother, I am the second child in my family. I really like agronomy, preaching. Agriculture is my passion. Thank you for your love and for your participation through my studies and through my life, may God bless you abundantly. THANKS
I attended the GLSx (Global Leadership Summit) conference at UCCC. This is a conference inspired me to start my own coffee business. I buy coffee sold in Haiti from local farmers, process it and package and sell it. I sell it at local businesses and online. I have already sold enough coffee to buy my own piece of land to grow sugar cane. Through hard work and trusting God, I see that I can be an entrepreneur. I give all the glory to God!

University Graduate:
Agronomist Lyguins Joseph
It is such a joy to have our graduates come back to visit. Lyguins entered the university in 2014 and graduated in 2019. He had a chance to travel to Turkey, but found it difficult to find work and a use for his talents. He returned to Haiti and opened a vocational school to train up agricultural technicians! Wow! He did this in his home town of Cerca-la-Source that is close to the D.R. border. Agriculture is not easy, but so needed. Starting a school is not easy, but is key to development. Lyguins brought his students on a field trip to show them where he got his education and the different agricultural projects that we have at UCI. It is his hope that some of his students will continue their education at UCCC’s 5-year agronomy program. It was a blessing to meet some of his students and hear their hearts to produce food with sustainable methods to benefit the country. This is why we persist in education—these students are our vision. We look around Haiti at all the violence and strife and feel discouragement, but when we look at each of the students, we know hope.
