LSM serves numerous Haitian communities through our Industrial Site, Business Office, 21 Homes of Hope, and LSM Tech. Most of these fall within a 15-mile area, but travel can be difficult, often involving passage across shallow rivers and over rugged terrain. Dio, Charlot and Sonson, our three highly skilled and dedicated auto mechanics, manage the difficult task of keeping LSM’s fleet of more than 60 vehicles on the road. Itโs critically important that our staff be able to travel quickly and safely in order to carry out their work โ meaning a fleet of reliable vehicles is essentially the “motor oil” that keeps our engines of outreach running smoothly!

When bringing you stories from Haiti, we often talk about our Home of Hope parents, our administrators, our business leadership, and our skilled technicians. But did you know that in addition to more visible team members, LSM has an incredible support staff? Below is a picture of Dayana, one of our lunch ladies at LSM Tech. In addition to the 37 Home of Hope students already enrolled at LSM Tech, Dayana’s mission field now also includes 10 students from the community who are taking classes on campus. Scripture constantly reminds us of God’s heart for the servant. In Mark 9:35, Jesus tells his disciples that those who would be first in his Kingdom must make themselves last and servants to all. Matthew 6:4 tells us to give in secret, in order that our heavenly Father, “who sees what is done in secret, may reward you.” What quiet act of service God has been laying on your heart?

Meet LSM’s Staff Accountant, Angie Hunter! Angie assists our Director of Finance, Mark Ahrens, with bookkeeping, domestic and international business transactions, data entry, optimization, and month end closes. Angie comes to us with more than a decade of experience working in ministry finance. โItโs such a privilege to join a ministry that serves children, both locally and worldwide, in the name of Jesus,” Angie says. “Although I don’t work on the front lines with these children, Iโm thankful to be able to use my skills to make a difference behind the scenes.โ Angie’s favorite scripture is Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in each situation, with prayer and with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Thanks, Angie, for all that you do!

Them Clersaint, the primary team member driving our precast concrete business in Haiti, comes from a very special family. His father, Max, built many of our homes and buildings: . And his sister, Terry, works in our Industrial Park: . One thing that stands out about Them is that even though he is in leadership, he can often be seen found on the front lines doing the dirtier parts of precast manufacturing alongside his own employees. “I always pray for God to make me a humble servant, more like Jesus,” Them says. His favorite Scripture is Col. 3:23: “Whatever you do, work at it with your whole heart, as for the Lord and not for men.” We’re thankful Them’s example of godly leadership!
