Offering hope to the hopeless. Poverty-stricken children lack the basics... food, water, medicine. Our humanitarian care touches the most needy in third world countries.

In 1972, we made our first trip to Haiti. The plight of the Haitian children broke our hearts. For many years, we came back and forth, with any chance we had, trying to help each handful that we could.
Through the years, the draw of Haiti and its children has become like a magnet. We found ourselves spending more and more time in Haiti and less and less time in the States. In July of 1991, we heard the "call of God" upon our lives. On July 1st 1991, we moved to Haiti as full-time missionaries, by faith.
We obeyed the calling of God. We were there through the Embargo, through the military coups ... we were there through all the political problems of the Aristide regime. We faced many heartaches with the Haitian people.
Why Haiti? Haiti is our neighbor. Jesus said that we should "love thy neighbor as thyself." Haiti has a great need. Jesus said, "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,' but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?" (James 2:15)
