When and how was Living Hope Ministries in Haiti, Inc. created?   This ministry to the Haitian people was founded September 21, 1994 in Columbus, Ohio.  It was then implanted in Mariani, Haiti, in April 1995.   God gave Mary Jane (Basel) Jolibois a vision to start this ministry after she had already served in the Haitian country as a missionary for eight years with NEW Missions.   Living Hope Ministries began in Haiti on borrowed land and when the time came to return the land, Living Hope Ministries purchased the land at its present location in Grand Saline, Mariani in August 1998.  There was nothing on the land except scrubs, thorn bushes, cows, goats and emptiness.  But God began building the Living Hope Ministries campus and it is still growing today.   Back to Top       5.
