Mission of Hope International was founded in March of 2000, in the
village of Thozin, Grand-Goâve, Haiti, by Pastor Lexidan and Renée Edmé along
with their two children Alexis and A Jay.
The Edmé’s came to Grand-Goâve with a vision to positively
impact the population spiritually, physically and emotionally. The first work
to begin was spiritual, with a church planted in the front yard of a dear elderly
gentleman named Pastor Bauvais Gabriel. He welcomed MOHI with open
arms and an open heart. At this same time preparations were being made to open the
mission’s first school, with preschool through 3rd grade students, including
children ages 3 to 17.

Pastor Lexidan was born and raised in Haiti and had moved
to the US for several years prior to returning to Haiti to start the Mission.
Because he is native to the Haiti, he understands all the little nuances and
language that foreigners may never pick up on. Being American, Renée brings a
different sense of order and accountability to the mission. Working together,
Lex and Renée have brought a wonderful balance of Haitian/American values and
skills to the mission field.

| Many people are still in need! |
After 11 years in Grand-Goâve, they are esteemed
by their community and are known for being fair, sharing food and supplies with
everyone, no matter their religious or political beliefs. They also are not
easily taken advantage of, since Lex already knows all the tricks people are
accustomed to playing on foreigners.
World-Wide Lighthouse Missions has been a proud supporter of
Mission Of Hope International for many years. Pastor Kalinsky, Adrienne and the team are very excited to put their feet
where their hearts and prayers have already been.

Adrienne recently said "I can't wait to get around the children and just hug them and love them." This truly sums up the hearts of the entire team. While in Haiti the team will
take part in the St. Etienne Campus Elementary School and the Thorzin Campus High
School graduations. This team will preach, teach and sing at the Annual Pastor and leaders conference that Mission of Hope sponsors. This conference in
open to pastors all over Haiti and everyone is expecting a mighty move of God!
Please keep this team in your prayers; we know that their hearts will be enlarged with all the things they will see, feel and experience. Every time they walk through a village or embrace a child it will be another testimony they can share of God's faithfulness. We know that God is going to do great
things through them and we would like you to keep this team in your prayers.
