Pastor Jean Paul Pierre Noel has dedicated his life to serving others, leading two churches and directing both a primary school and a trade school. He lives outside of Port-au-Prince in Archaie with his wife and three children—two boys and a girl. Jean Paul and his wife have been married for 14 years, and his family is a constant source of strength and motivation for him.

For over a decade, Jean Paul has quietly battled a serious infection in his left ear that causes a constant, foul-smelling discharge. Every day, he faces the challenge of preaching sermons and teaching children while trying to manage the embarrassment and discomfort of his condition. He often has to replace cotton in his ear to prevent the liquid from soiling his clothes, and the odor makes it difficult to interact with others—especially the young children who look up to him.

A few years ago, friends and supporters raised enough money for Jean Paul to have the operation he desperately needed. However, when his third child was born, he made the difficult decision to use those funds to cover the birth expenses instead. Since then, his ear problem has only worsened, and the cost of surgery has increased due to instability and gang activity in Port-au-Prince, where he must travel for treatment. Without proper care, his condition could develop into a tumor, putting his health and ability to serve his community at even greater risk.

Jean Paul’s daily life is shaped by his commitment to his family, his congregations, and the hundreds of children who depend on him for education and guidance. Successful treatment would not only relieve his pain and discomfort but also allow him to continue his vital work without the constant worry and stigma of his illness. Your support can help restore his health and ensure he can keep making a difference in the lives of so many.
