I’ve returned once again to Haiti, accompanied by Rev. Jean Samuel Bruce, Director of Caribbean Ministries for Christian Television Network and a camera crew, to bring much needed relief and I’m scheduled to meet with Haiti Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.





We loaded our first container to bring clothes and food to 100,000 Haitians. I would like to thank the South Florida community who helped us raise funds and brought all the items that are now headed to Haiti.  


We are working closely with South Florida organizations, as well as with those in Haiti, to begin Restoration Zones that will allow us to bring much needed aid to the people of Haiti.

President Signs Omnibus Bill for Washington D.C. and Lifts a 20 Year Ban on DC Abortion Funding among other issues.






President Obama on December 16, 2009 signed into law the Fiscal year 2010 Omnibus Appropriations bill legislation that includes several provisions for the District of Columbia.  The legislation includes the removal of a ban on financial aid for low-income women to receive abortions, expanded benefits for domestic partnerships and an end to D.C.’s school voucher program.


With his signature President Obama now allows funding for low-income women who want to have an abortion.  The appropriation bills also ends a popular and successful Community Based Abstinence Education program and lifts a ban on federal funds for needle-exchange programs – which means that drug addicts in D.C. can receive needles for free from the federal government.  The bill also legalizes the use of medical marijuana in D.C. by removing a federal ban.


Also taking a hit was the extremely successful School Voucher Program, which allow students from failing schools the ability to get monetary vouchers, which they could apply to any private school in D.C.







Over 25 years of outreach efforts to the island of Haiti has positioned Church of all Nations as a key player in an attempt to feed the starving victims of the earthquake that has decimated Port-au-Prince.


Due to overwhelming demands made on the federal governments from around the world and the logistical nightmare they are forced to daily deal with, people continue to starve right before their eyes.


Under the direction of Senior Pastor Mark D. Boykin, Church of all Nations has coordinated a fast track feeding distribution system entitled, “Food Now” – “One Feeds One”.


This network has been designed to provide one meal a day per person (beans and rice) for approximately 10,000 men, women and children who would otherwise go hungry.


"Food Now" already has over 100 people positioned at ground zero prepared to initiate this plan without the constraints of government bureaucracy.


There are currently 12 feeding stations ready to begin distributing meals and have the necessary security in place to ensure an orderly and safe environment.


Won’t you help us help these starving victims dying daily? Help us get the people of Haiti through this tough time.... and keep people alive! – one day at a time.


All it takes is ONE... one dollar a day to save a life.  Don't delay... donate today! Click on the "Haiti Relief Donate Now" button on the bottom of the home page.

Pastor Mark D. Boykin arrived in the Dominican Republic on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 and as soon as he landed, he moved forward on setting up the necessary structure to begin to bring all the relief efforts from South Florida to the people of Haiti.  ¨It has been a difficult task, since the infrastructure in Haiti has been devastated, ¨said Pastor Boykin.  The Port-au-Prince airport in Haiti is only available to government flights and direct relief from multi-national organizations.  Relief workers have landed on Haiti and now Church of All Nations has set up a structure that will allow us to bring the much needed aid from South Florida to the Dominican Republic and from there directly to the people of Haiti.  ¨I am so thankful to all the people of Church of All Nations and to the South Florida community who have poured a great deal of financial and non-perishable support to the people in Haiti.  Now we are going to get it to those in need in Haiti,” added

Pastor Mark D. Boykin.


We are working closely with the National Social Service Evangelical Council who will be helping us in receiving the aid in from South Florida to the Dominican Republic and they will transport it directly to the people of Haiti.  This wonderful Christian organization assured us that the containers that will be arriving from South Florida would remain sealed and not open until they arrive in Haiti for distribution.


We are also working closely with The National Evangelical University in the Dominican Republic to assist them in setting up make shift hospitals and clinics to help those in need.


`We are going to set up RESTORATION CAMPS all over Haiti to begin the process for the people of Haiti to get their life back in order.  We are going to help them physically and spiritually restore their lives, `said Pastor Mark D. Boykin.
