There Must Be More 2

In the year 2009, by a miracle of God, I was connected to three Brazilians who were led to begin a mission in Haiti. They were an Apostle, a Pastor, and a “Pirate.” You can read that story, and the two following trips that were born from it in the blogs on our website entitled, [...]

There Must Be More 1

When I was seven years old, I went to church with my mom and my new stepfather. It was a Lutheran church. I could not understand or relate to anything that was happening in that worship service, except the reading of the Old Testament lesson. It was the vision [...]

40th Anniversary / Mission to Indonesia

I gave Margie a choice. We could celebrate our 40th anniversary with an Alaska cruise (something she‘s mentioned) or she could come to Indonesia with me (I’ve gone there alone twelve times since 1991) and we could combine special times alone with ministry on Java. She chose Indonesia.
Little did I know at the time that [...]

His Name Was Kiki

Dear Pastor and Mme. Duphar, family and friends of Jean-Kuislin (Kiki) Alexis,
My heart was broken last Friday when I was on my way home from Haiti. As I waited in Miami for my flight to Chicago, Jesper called to tell me that Kiki had died. My mind was flooded with many thoughts and memories, beginning [...]

Whenever I take people on a mission team to Haiti, the ones who drink coffee, especially those who like full-bodied, dark-roasted coffee, literally rave about the coffee that’s served to us in the Guest House where we stay.
So I arranged with my associate Joèl to have coffee specially picked, roasted, and ground in that “special [...]

Get Healthy / Support Missions 2

Seeing that opc-3 did so much for me, I was willing to try something else from Market America. So I chose “MochaTonix,” the next recommendation from our friend Joyce. It’s a powder you mix with water, or I mix it with my morning coffee, which makes a SUPER-POWERFUL drink! The label on this stuff says:

Get Healthy / Support Missions 1

OK, here’s my story. I take a couple medicines regularly, for high blood pressure, and for occasional back pain. But I’ve never been into vitamins or all that other health stuff that so many people promote and sell. I’ve tried some of it from time to time…antioxidants and vitamins and cleansers, but I never stayed [...]

His Name is Jesper

How do I write about the man I’ve known longer than almost anyone in Haiti? Jesper is 36 now, but he was a young adult at an age when most people are still called “kids.” He was street wise, fluent in English, and a guide for mission teams who stayed at a Port-au-Prince guest house [...]
