Welcome....

Hello from warm and balmy Haiti!!

Welcome to our family's blog!

Please visit to keep tabs on what is going on in our ministry as well as family updates.

And now...a little history.

In January of 2000, we came to Haiti for the first time as a family.  After three more short term trips we moved to Haiti in June of 2005.  We are currently under the direction of Loving-Shepherd Ministries which is based in Bluffton, Indiana.  Since our move our two daughters are married, our special son Brett has gone home to be with the Lord, and we have two grandchildren, Sophia and Adam.  Mark(17), Derek(11), and Joel(7) are still at home with us!

Here we will make an attempt to keep you informed about our ministry and our family.

MEBSH(Mission Evangelical Baptist of Southern Haiti) is the Haitian Church organization that we are affiliated with here in Haiti.  Each year they hold a convention in the little village minutes from our home.  They hold four services per day, beginning at 5:30AM and finishing around 10PM.  It is estimated that 10,000-12,000 people will come for the event, often sleeping on the floor of a school room, or in the home of a friend or relative.  It is the event of the year for MEBSH.  Pray with us for the conversion of many souls, and the strengthening of the believers.
