  The Cap Haitian Children's Home has been serving orphaned and needy children since 1987. Beyond the many children it has helped through the years, it has hosted visiting groups for projects all over Northern Haiti. Many American Christians and many Haitians have received their first impression of the Church of Christ through the orphanage.

  The orphanage was started by Evelyn Boyd, a nurse who came to Haiti to help with a medical clinic project.  She enlisted the help of the church in Ada, Oklahoma, which began their long oversight of the work.  She was followed by Bill and Pam Keefer, David and Sarah Dirrim, Tim and Debbie Vanderbeek, and now Ron and Dianna Cyphers.

  Ron traveled to Haiti for the first time in October of 2001, with two of the elders from the church in Ada -- and stayed.  Although Dianna was unable to move to Haiti for almost a year, because of commitments they had in the States, she jumped into the work wholeheartedly.  Ron bring years of experience in education and working with children to the work at the orphanage.  He and Dianna have made a home for more than 100 foster children throughout the years, many with special needs.

 The orphanage is currently serving over 50 children.
We extend an invitation to all of our families and friends to visit our compound when you have the opportunity and share our blessings.
