Since then Esau has prayed and worked tirelessly to make every conference happen. He is a humble, mature Christian leader respected by his fellow pastors, a key partner and advisor to PPI and a beloved brother to us.

Mission and Coordination Teams
We invite 1-3 U.S. team members to experience our training courses. Interested in going with us? We intentionally keep our U.S. teams small so that we can work well with our in-country Ministry Team. This Ministry Team consists of experienced, godly Haitian pastors in training to lead PPI courses. These American and Haitian brothers and sisters serve with us joyfully and tirelessly to put together all aspects of the conference.
