Hosean International Ministries (HIM) is an American nonprofit (Little Rock, Arkansas) that has provided over $4-million in supplies and aid to Haiti over the past decade.

Caleb Lucien founded HIM in 1984 to help residents of Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, find opportunities to improve their lives physically and spiritually. After growing up in Haiti, Caleb attended Washington Bible College in Maryland and then completed two master’s degrees at Dallas Theological Seminary. In 1989, Caleb returned to Haiti to begin the work of HIM.

Current projects of Hosean International Ministries include:

Camp de la Grace - A retreat center which hosts outreaches each year to men, women and children.

College de la Grace - HIM founded the first secondary school (K-13) in the Pignon community which now has over 900 students and over 110 teachers and staff. The school has been operating for 15 years. A book bank has been established to provide much needed books for the students who could not afford to purchase books (neither local schools or the local government provide books).

A student sponsorship program provides free tuition, a hot meal every day, 50% reimbursement of medical care costs, one uniform each year and school supplies. Local families donate a loving home and sponsors donate $1/day.

Layton Stamper Children’s Home - Founded in 1984, the Home provides a safe residence for children with no alternatives.

Electrical Project - Street lights and home electricity is being provided through a partnership with the National Rural Electrical Co-ops of America.
A team of volunteers from Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Moorhead, Minnesota came to Haiti in January, 2008 to finish the work on the new elementary school second story roof.

Two members of St. Mark’s Baptist Church of Little Rock, Arkansas volunteered their plumbing skills in January.

A crew of electrical linesmen from Minnesota checked connections and trained the local electrical co-op staff.

The Micanopy Christian Fellowship group from Florida arrived in March and worked on needed repairs at the school campus and helped Habitat for Humanity build homes for the local community.

Four members of Summer Street Church of Nantucket, MA taught a seminar on the teaching style of Jesus to over 100 teachers in March.
