Trou du Nord, Haiti
L'eglise Baptiste de Trou du Nord was founded in 1940. Currently there are approximately 1,000 people who attend church here each week. Pastor Antoine Brice has been the pastor of L'eglise Baptiste de Trou du Nord since 1970. He is a long-time friend of Pastor Apollon Noel in Terrier Rouge, the primary community in our Sponsorship Program.

Trou du Nord is a sizable community near the Northeast coast of Haiti with a population of approximately 50,000 people. Most of the people in the community make their living through commerce or agriculture.
The school of L'eglise Baptiste de Trou du Nord has an enrollment of approximately 300 students in grades 1 through 6. They do not receive food from the World Food Program so they are unable to feed the children in the school at this time.
