What are interactions with the government like? I have not really had any interactions with the government other than getting immigration settled. We do not have to hide what we are doing from the government like many missionaries do.
How are schools different than they are in the states? Your classroom and supplies are surely different but a daily schedule would be about the same. Students are with their grade level in class learning.
Why did you choose to stop teaching? If you know me well, you probably never would’ve guessed that I would stop teaching….I didn’t think so either! I felt that God was leading me in a different direction and followed, simple as that.
What do I need the most? Right now, what I need is your prayers and encouragement. Everything else will come, and if I need it I will ask..
I can’t commit financially, how can I help? Don’t forget how important prayers and encouragment are! We know that God hears our prayers.
What is MEBSH? MEBSH or Mission Evangelical Baptists of Southern Haiti is the church association that we work with. They have many churches throughout southern Haiti. There are several organizations under them who do missionary work with them for the Haitian people.
Do you work with the construction department? People from Madison County have been going to Haiti on teams with the CD for a very long time, myself included. While I live closely with them and do life with them, I do not work with them directly. They are with a separate organization, HarvestCall, and have their own mission. I am thankful for the introduction to Haiti that they gave me to Haiti.
Do the kids in the HFKz program get housing? No, this sponsorship is for school. The kids live in communities all over Southern Haiti with their families.
How often are you in Haiti? I live in Haiti full time and visit the states for furlough, typically 2 months out of the year.
Can we send money or supplies even if we are not a sister church? Yes, there is always a need. We would love to have you partner with a church but if that is not possible we appreciate the want to help how you can.
Love You to Haiti and Back
