Our team has been on the air for days, giving news updates from around the world, interviewing doctors, producing and broadcasting key health messages for radio, television and our online platforms, urging people to pray, not to panic but to take this new virus very seriously. Until this week, most people in Haiti were saying \u201cif coronavirus comes to Haiti\u201d, hoping Haiti would be spared, that the Caribbean heat would keep the virus at bay.<\/p>\n
But Thursday night, Haiti\u2019s President announced the first two confirmed cases of COVID-19, declared a state of emergency, no gatherings of more than 10 people, ordered all schools to close, all airports to close. Most people were taken by surprise by the immediate lock-down.<\/p>\n
If there was ever a day Haiti\u2019s people need what 4VEH offers, it is today.<\/strong><\/p>\n Over 70 years, God has positioned 4VEH as a trusted voice to reach, teach and serve Haitians across Haiti, and in places like New York, Florida, in France \u2013 for such a time as this. We are not shutting down or suspending daily broadcasting. In fact, we\u2019re doubling our efforts to provide Christ-centered, culturally relevant content to meet today\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n As you pray for God\u2019s help in this global crisis, please pray for us.
