Mission: About GCOM


God's Chosen Ones Ministry (GCOM) is a humanitarian aid organization serving the country of Haiti. Established in 2003, our primary goal is to ease the suffering of the people in Haiti through humanitarian aid and relief, we do this in a variety of ways. GCOM always
seeks to address the most urgent needs of the Haitian people.

In the past GCOM focused on a variety of programs including: Child Educational Sponsorship, Building Projects, Feeding Programs, and much more. However, after the earthquake of January 2010, we have had to shift our focus. This earthquake has left us unaware if all of our sponsored children survived the ordeal, has left many of the country’s schools dilapidated or non-existent. Haiti has been crippled by the ill effects of this horrible natural disaster, and therefore logistically GCOM is unable to carry on our previous programs. At this time GCOM is dedicated to assisting in every way we can with the rescue and reconstruction of Haiti. For the current time our focus is on taking Mission Teams to Haiti to assist in these efforts.

The epicenter of this quake was 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital and largest city. Thousands upon thousands are now deceased, many more injured.
