GMC Flags of the Nations: Haiti

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Global Ministry Center

Since September 1, 2009, each week the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.

This week: Haiti

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Haiti in 1950.

Haiti had a population of 9,719,932 in 2011. That same year, Haiti reported 564 Churches of the Nazarene, 555 of which had been officially organized. Haiti has 118,292 total members.

Haiti has eight Phase 2 districts and three Phase 3 districts. It is a part of the Mesoamerica Region.

This week's flags will be flown at half staff until sundown on Tuesday, December 18 in remembrance of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.

The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
