WHERE IS BALAN?

Balan, Haiti is approximately 17.52 miles from Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (but takes approximately 45 minutes by car).

Balan, Haiti is inland from Port-Au-Prince (to the West) and is very close the the Dominican Republic border.

As of today Balan, Haiti has no fresh water, no electricity, no official leadership, very little commerce and very little food.

OUR COMMITTMENT TO BALAN

We are committed to the development and empowerment of Balan, Haiti and its people.We believe that that there are amazing God-given resources in the people and land of Balan; when activated, the area will transform into a life-giving center with long-term sustainability that will become a model of what is possible when Kingdom principles are engaged in a people and a geographic area.

WALKING IN THE REIGN, INC.

Walking in The Reign, Inc. (the 501c3 that supports our efforts in Balan, Haiti and Wichita, KS) is about meeting the spiritual, physical, economic and social needs of the helpless, needy and poor.  Everything we do is Centered in Christ. Jesus met the physical and spiritual needs of those He ministered to.  He fed the multitudes and healed the crippled, blind and lame but most importantly, He gave them eternal life.

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:15,16

We believe that you can’t meet the Spiritual needs without meeting the physical needs and that it would be worthless to the meet the physical needs without meeting the Spiritual needs.  That is why we seek to do both.
