Forty-nine years ago, at age 20, I arrived in Haiti for the first time. Sent to fix a mission motorcycle and suffering Haitian Happiness, I couldn’t wait to get back to America. Then one night while giving my testimony through an interpreter, God spoke to me that the same way He changed my life He would change Haitian lives!

When the ministry in the US disbanded, I returned to Haiti alone with savings and paid $2.40/month for a hut in the L’Artibonite river valley, an agrarian region known for rice and legume production. There I contracted typhoid and hepatitis. On my return to US, I was committed to isolation at Broward General in Ft. Lauderdale, and overheard my doctor telling a nurse he didn’t think I’d make it. But God reached down and revived me from near death; I was discharged to my parents in Western NY.

There my childhood pediatrician warned, “You will die if you go back to Haiti.”

I told him, “I will die if I don’t go back.”

Back in Florida, I worked and saved for my return, but one night the Lord spoke to give my savings in an offering. Two weeks later I had a free ride on a cruise ship that docked in Haiti! I had a cabin full of toys for an orphanage, a backpack with a few clothes, about $30.00 in my pocket and an invitation from Haitians in remote Central Plateau. As I stood on the bow while the ship cruised into Port au Prince harbor surrounded by majestic green mountains, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “I have given you this nation for an inheritance.”

For seven years, Yvonne and I pastored a mega church of 7,000 Haitians in open air services 7 nights a week and finally a tent. Our church disbanded when Duvalier fell and government became hostile. After the 2010 earthquake, I held an evangelistic crusade that brought 100,000 Haitians to hear the gospel. In 2004, I started our Creole Christian TV show that today speaks God’s words to millions of Haitians in Haiti and abroad.
