Teams
Dear Friends,
As we write these newsletters, we have often shared with you about some of the teams that we take to Haiti. Four or five time a year we lead short-term mission trips, usually lasting between ten days and two weeks. Some of these teams come from churches. Others come from college ministries. And some [...]
Dear Friends,
The sun had not yet reached its full Haitian potential as 18 Americans along with Pastor Diogene and Starfish Ministries’ School Director, Norius, poured out of four 4-wheel drive Toyotas and Mitsubishis. Our goal was to show the children’s version of the “Jesus” film to 455 students in the village of Corail, but that [...]
Dear Friends,
Pastor Diogene often asks me to extend his greetings and appreciation to his friends and supporters in America – so on behalf of Pastor Diogene, “Thank You so much for partnering with us in reaching out to the lost of Haiti.”
A couple of weeks ago Pastor Diogene presided over six marriages in the village [...]
Dear Friends,
I’m relaxing at the guesthouse in Port-au-Prince , Monday, January 26, waiting for the arrival of a team from North County Christ the King Church. The weather here is perfect – gets up to about 80 during the day and down to 70 at night. January is by far the best month to spend [...]
Dear Friends,
I’m sitting in for Bernie (this is his son, Philip) on newsletter detail this month. Having recently returned from Haiti, I am brimming with news of what our Lord is doing there, and Dad has graciously allowed me this space to share a bit with you.
During the day in the Tricotte area, our group [...]
Dear Friends,
I’m currently in Tricotte, Haiti, with a team of 19 college students from Western Washington University. They have given their spring vacation to serve on a short term mission trip. Art and Cyndy Berry from Bellingham along with Glenn make a great leadership team, doing whatever is necessary to keep everything going smoothly. The [...]
Dear Friends,
In early February we had a short term mission team from Southridge Community Church in Langley, BC, join us in Tricotte for nine days. They took over 100 soccer balls and uniforms with them and put on six mini soccer camps for children in our schools and orphanage. The kids really enjoyed learning a [...]
Dear Friends,
I just returned from four and a half weeks in Haiti. A team from Grace Community Church in Auburn, WA, spent the past ten days with me ministering in the Tricotte area. We were able to show the Jesus Film five times with many children responding to the Gospel invitation. When we showed it [...]
Dear Friends,
It was good to take a team to Tricotte after a year of postponements and cancellations due to the political unrest. A team from Washington State University spent two weeks in Haiti, ministering in our schools and spending time with our orphans. The team of 14 college students was led by the Chi Alpha [...]
Dear Friends,
“Great!” was the response from Pastor Diogene when I asked him how things were going in the village of Bethel. “The people there are so hungry for the Word of God and are really growing in their faith in Jesus.” He went on to say that they are very anxious to get a church [...]
