Rev. Esaïe & Natacha Etienne
Mission to the World / Gonaives, Haiti
Esaïe and Natacha are natives of Haïti. They have three sons, Ishtyler, Isaiah, and Ishmaiah, and a grandson, Emmaus. Esaïe has been in the church-planting ministry since 1993 and is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity. They have worked in Haïti as MTW missionaries since 2006, moving to Gonaïves in 2008 and Port-au-Prince in 2009. Their ministry includes church planting, leadership training, and mercy ministry. Following several natural disasters, they returned to South Florida. Esaïe routinely travelled back and forth between there and Haïti until moving to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in 2024 to lead and oversee ministries there and in Haïti. The choice of supporting the ministry from the Dominican Republic is the result of increased violence everywhere in Haïti. This and the increased poverty among the people because of inflation and the invasive nature of gangs controlling Haïti presented many challenges for their ministry, including theft of electricity-producing equipment, the need to provide more security for the ministry, difficulty in hiring staff, and the inability to get food for the school in Dociné. The need is great for substantially more resources.
Please visit Mission to the World (MTW.org) and Haïti projects listed in the prayer needs below to help support their ministries.
Prayer needs:
- For Haiti as it continues to become more unsafe every day,
- For the relationship between the Dominican Republic and Haiti and for the possibility of crossing the border back and forth,
- For Esaïe and Natacha as they explore possible new ministry opportunities in the Dominican Republic, and
- For continued financial needs and use. See the following links for donations:
