What we see is not always what the Lord sees, and His priorities are not always our priorities. It’s a lesson I’ve learned time and time again throughout this ministry.

In 2001, we excitedly bought land to expand our work. At the time, our children attended school under a thatched roof in an open-air building, so constructing a proper school building seemed like the greatest need. But as I walked our new property, I prayed, “Lord, what do you see?”

After spending time with Him, I knew we needed to build the church first. We began construction in 2002, and we completed the Hope for Haiti Worship Center (Temple De Espoir Haiti) in 2004. Since then, the church has proudly served the needs of families and children throughout Haiti.

But now, after years of wear and tear along with the effects of natural disasters, our church desperately needs renovations. Will you prayerfully consider helping us remodel our building to ensure it can remain a welcoming, safe environment for the people of Haiti?

While our church stands as a place of worship and encouragement on Sundays, it has served multiple other purposes throughout the years. Before finishing our school, we used the church as a classroom for our students and as the central base of our feeding program during the week.
