This weekend New Directions International (NDI), in partnership with Promise Keepers (PK), is sponsoring a series of conferences for men in Haiti titled “Haiti at the Cross.”

NDI—a missions and relief organization that aims to connect American churches and missions-minded individuals to the global cause of Christ—has always sought earnestly to model racial reconciliation and was invited to Haiti "to try to demonstrate and share that model," said J.L. Williams, founder of NDI.

Williams says the ministry has worked hard to lay the groundwork for the event.

One way it has done this, Williams noted, was by staying focused on the ‘PK value’ of racial reconciliation. NDI "has always been, since our inception back in the tumultuous civil rights days, seeking to be proactively involved in racial reconciliation" and to be "an interracial ministry from the biblical standpoint," he said.

During the decades that the ministry was laying its foundation there, Williams remarks, "little did we realize that it was perhaps not only for all the interim years, but for such a time as this, to stand alongside our Haitian brothers and sisters and try to be agents of reconciliation and change in the country."

Now after working in Haiti for decades, NDI and its founder says the Caribbean nation is ripe for revival.

"Haiti at the Cross" will be held in conjunction with the Caribbean nation's bicentennial celebrations. The conference series ends this Sunday with a closing event at the National Stadium in Port Au Prince.
