I have been leading pastors training in Haiti since 2011. The Lord blessed our efforts and expanded our opportunities each time we offered a pastors conference there.

I came home convinced that the Lord was leading us to establish a nonprofit ministry to allow our efforts to expand beyond Hopevale Church’s generous support to date. We incorporated PPI as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Fall 2018, I resigned as Associate Senior Pastor at Hopevale in April 2019, and we led another pastors conference in Haiti in June 2019.
