About Me
- Name: haitianministries
- Location: Denver, Colorado, United States
I am a native Coloradan, but have spent most of my adult life teaching, studying, and ministering in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas. While teaching in the Dominican Republic, I met and married my wife Estela, a first-generation Dominican of Haitian descent. Currently, we are on home assignment in Denver and expect to be reassigned to a new ministry by the end of the year. Meanwhile, our time is divided between traveling and speaking in Baptist churches throughout the Rocky Mountain region and working with our church's refugee resettlement ministry.

Great quote! Profound and true. Unfortunately, in the USA, justice seems to refer only to members of the supreme court. It has nothing to do with economics, health care, immigration, or such mundane things of life.
Very good points, Tauratinzwe! Thanks for stopping by.
