Our Team

John & Debbie Booker are our Missionaries and Relief Coordinators in Haiti.  They pastored for 25 years in Foursquare churches in Northern California and Arizona and have raised three wonderful children who are in strong ministry in their local churches.  Missions has always been in their hearts, and they spent a lot of time throughout the years instilling in their congregations their passion for the “Great Commission”. When asked to go to Haiti, after the earthquake of January, 2010, to serve in the capacity of coordinators for 3 months, John and Debbie readily said “yes!” It was during that time, in April, 2010, that the Lord spoke to their hearts to stay in Haiti long term to help strengthen and expand the church. They have been truly blessed for the 16 months that they have lived there, receiving many missions teams from the US and Canada, whose desire is to bless and help the Haitian people come to know Jesus and live a transformed life, bringing them out of the poverty they have known for centuries.  Pastors John and Debbie have fallen in love with Haiti and her people and believe and envision “A Beautiful Haiti Living Abundantly in Jesus Christ”.

Mark Olson has lived in Hawaii for 20 years where he served at New Hope Diamond Head Church for 6 years and for the final 18 months as executive pastor prior coming to Haiti.  He came to Haiti on short missions trips last year in June, July and November and felt called to Haiti and moved here at the end of December where he serves as Team Coordinator, doing a great job in coordinating schedules as well as working in the various projects outside Port-au-Prince.

Prior to this, Becky served as an Elim Pastor in Scotland and England for 8 years. She is now working with Foursquare Haiti assisting Mark Olson with communications and developing the self-sufficiency projects.

Jackie Griffiths is originally from Wales and brought up in the Elim Pentecostal Church.  She worked at Elim’s Bible College for 24 years as their Registrar and ordained into the Elim ministry where she served as associate pastor for five years.  In 2007 she moved to Malawi as an Elim missionary and as well as ministering in the local churches, was involved in setting up a Bible School for the pastors.   She has come to Haiti for three years and is working with us largely helping with the Bible Institute.         

Jeff Duncan was active in The Journey, a Foursquare church in Madison, Wisconsin, while finishing a degree in agricultural engineering. He came to Haiti on a short trip with that church, and soon decided to return to work on an agriculture project with Faith Orphanage in Jacmel. After 6 months there, he was invited to join Foursquare Haiti as an agriculture specialist and will oversee the agriculture aspects of the self sufficiency projects for the next year. He will also work on a focused project with farmers around the Les Cayes church to help them increase production of staple crops.
