Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
Building Friendships / Pastoring Young Leaders I loved building friendships in Haiti even pastoring some of the young leaders God is raising up in Haiti. On Wednesday, my girlfriend, Theresa, and I explored the streets of Haiti with an American missionary that became a friend of mine when I lived there two years ago. We […]
Webstream is a Lifeline to Iranian Christian Fleeing for His Life When an Iranian man, Hamed, found Jesus, he was forced to run for his life. Fleeing his country on horseback, he miraculously escaped as he was shot at by the Iranian police. As a refugee, he found our prayer room webstream and began watching […]
God is moving powerfully in the nation of Haiti. Jesus has called me to be a part of His work in that nation. In 2011, I spent two and a half months in Haiti serving Fisher’s of Men Ministries, a ministry that has been laboring in Haiti for over twenty-five years. I am going […]
When I was sixteen, God showed me that He longs to give Jesus an inheritance (Psalm 2) of the people of Haiti. The Father longs that this nation would see the light of the glory of Jesus (Isaiah 9). Since that time, I have been to Haiti three times including 2½ months in 2011. Since […]

However, in the midst of this tragedy, Haitian people are responding with worship and prayer. […]
Morning Prayer Meetings Every morning, on Delmas 31 street in Port-au-Prince, a sound arises of worship and intercession as over 1,000 Haitians gather. Most attending must walk or take tap-taps (trucks that Haitians crowd into and pay 12 cents a ride). They come desperately hungry for Jesus. The prayer meetings are different from most meetings I […]
This past Sunday, Pastor Jay Threadgill, director of the Fisher’s of Men missions base, sent us out to do ministry about an hour north of Port-au-Prince high up in the mountains. Leah and Nathan, my classmates ministered in a town called Miblais. I went with Christy, a teacher at the school I work at, and […]
Things are going well in Port-au-Prince. God is doing so much. My primary ministry is coaching children in math, grammar, and word building in a class for students who have fallen behind. Watch the video above to get the latest update!
Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince at the beginning of the month, I was surprised to discover my main ministry in Haiti would be one-on-one teaching in the ministry’s K-12 school, Morning Star Christian Academy. The school is an English school. I have had to remember much that I have forgotten like long division, fractions, what […]
