WELCOME TO CEDAN
We have been serving the Cap Haitian - Acul du Nord - Limbe' region of north Haiti for nearly 3 decades through our churches, clinics, meal services, pantries, and 13 schools.

CEDAN (Centre for Evangelism and Development of Acul du Nord) founded by Pastor Henri Robert, pictured here, stands on faith to clothe, feed, heal and teach God's precious souls. Our clinics have helped improve personal hygiene and general health conditions. Schools have worked to substantially reduce illiteracy, teach God's Word, raise the general level of education and produce pastors, leaders and teachers, and thousands have been fed, clothed and loved.

While life in the Western Hemisphere’s most impoverished nation is always difficult, challenges have increased since the January 2010 earthquake as access to most daily needs and medical care is reduced. CEDAN is working tirelessly and sacrificially, but we need your help to evangelize the lost, maintain our ministries, and broaden our activities in Berno, and to its surrounding populations.

MINISTRY DISTINCTIVES
CEDAN stands firmly on the Gospel, the inerrancy and sufficiency of God's Word and its power to save, and enable Godly living and Christian service.

CEDAN pursues the primary mission of reaching the lost with the hope and good news of God's salvation to all who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on the cross.

CEDAN is staffed by Haitians living & working in the communities they serve.

CEDAN donations, financial or other, go directly to CEDAN, not through a government agency, and are used for direct ministry purposes.

CEDAN enjoys enduring, and important relationships in every aspect of daily life and work, including best purchase and import costs available.
