10 years ago today Prit, myself, and our yardman were kidnapped at gunpoint. After being paid $300 U.S. to kill Prit in the churchyard, the kidnappers decided it was more profitable to kidnap us instead and demand far more money than a mere $300. The sum quickly became $300,000. Our…

Haiti’s Nightmare It’s been nothing short of a nightmare this past week for many families who reside in the south of Haiti. How can I begin to describe the devastation and loss of life which have now caused a food crisis and new cholera outbreak? Matthew’s wrath left several cities…

Prit and I have been attending a ministerial conference all week long here in Portland. We were due to fly out tonight to Miami. However, after lashing out against Haiti and leaving at least 108 people dead, Matthew’s fury is now aimed at the coast of Florida. Prit and I were due to…

I am writing from a hotel in Portland where we are attending an MFI Conference. We plan to take an all-night flight back to Haiti on Friday (Portland – Charlotte – Miami – Cap-Haitian.) Doing all this in one voyage exhausts me to even think about it! We thank all…

The school was comprised of English-speaking missionary kids as well as Haitian children who were proficient in English. This was during the mid 1980’s under the regime of the late Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier and his…

While major donors, Orphans Promise  and Lifeline Ministry graciously work together to provide protein-packed food to our students, Rehoboth Ministries…

Recently, I placed an alert on my Facebook page asking my Facebook friends to please pray for Jean-Philippe Béliard. Jean-Philippe practically grew up on the church bench in our main church in Petite-Anse. He went on to complete our 4-year Bible college and was the valedictorian of his class. Today, he…

Haiti Featured in the News I received a phone call a few days ago from a journalist who works for the Sampson Independent newspaper in Clinton, NC. He wanted to interview me concerning our life and work in Haiti since I was born in Clinton and grew up outside the small town. I didn’t…

If you ever thought that serving as a missionary in a foreign land was something glamorous, please allow me to put those thoughts to rest for you. In just the last week and a half, several incidents have taken place in Haiti and we are seriously asking for your heartfelt prayers.…
