Rick Fyffe, President

At a Bible study one morning I heard some men share their experiences of a recent trip to Haiti. They were filled with passion and told the most amazing stories of how God is working in Haiti. The seed was planted. I would never have guessed that God was preparing me to serve in Hope For Haiti’s Children, but He was. To God be the Glory, great things He has done! Are you ready to have Haiti planted in your heart?

Debbie Vanderbeek, VP of Haiti Operations

I have been involved in missions to Haiti since 1988 and went on my first mission trip in 1989. The strength, courage, faith, resilience and hospitality of the Haitian people is the biggest draw for me to Haiti. When HFHC asked me to come work with them at the end of 2003, it was an answer to my prayers for a job with purpose and eternal value. God answered with more than I had imagined!

Ken Bever, Board Member 

Principal Consultant, Assetricity, LLC

Ken, with his wife Rhonda, traveled to Haiti in 1993 and were deeply moved by the incredible outreach efforts of the local Haitian churches in the midst of incredible poverty and lack of education.  Through a partnership with Jeantyrard Elmera and the Delmas St. Church of Christ, Ken and Rhonda were instrumental in founding HFHC in 1993.

I was invited by Sandy and Thom Besso to go on the January 2004 HFHC mission trip. The people of Haiti , especially the children, their love for the Lord, and their spiritual joy regardless of their physical circumstances, will keep me totally involved forever.

Connecticut Department of Transportation -- Transportation Principal Engineer of Bridge Design

My first trip to Haiti was in 1995.   We came hoping to establish a child sponsorship program.  I immediately fell in love with the people, particularly the Christians.  They face such difficult life circumstances, they are constantly in some kind of serious need and yet are full of faith and love.

Optometrist

I was asked by Ken Bever, to go on a medical missions trip in July 2001. After seeing the children of Haiti with their extreme need and big smiles, I was hooked. They now own a piece of my heart.

Steve Roberts, Board Member

Owner, SCR Construction

I first went to Haiti in January of 2006. I was overwhelmed by what I saw. I could not believe that a place existed with this much need. Seeing HFHC in action was a blessing because I saw people caring for others who are often in dire and challenging situations. It was truly an example of faith put into action. My experiences in Haiti and prayer compelled me to become involved in this worthy ministry. I pray God is glorified in our service to His people.

Proctor & Gamble - Regional Associate Director

I was introduced into HFHC by it's founder, Ken Bever, but my faith’s founder, God, really called me into his work in Haiti. Through HFHC, I'm continually reminded that serving God through other's isn't necessarily doing great things as described by man, but it really is about helping his creation have access to the most basic items in life while learning how to love in ways I've never known.
