Keith and Theresa Baker
Prayers and best wishes for a great 2022! This is a note to summarize our last few years of ministry and to let you know what we are looking at in the future. In 2018 and 2019, Theresa and I and our other coworkers were asked to leave Haiti [...]
Pastor H. D. Van Wye promptly taught us a multitude of helpful points pertinent to the ministry, as we began our new life in Christ. Brother Van Wye was our pastor from 1976 – 1986. He showed us, through his teaching and preaching, that the [...]

Our Christian school has been in session for a few weeks. Theresa is teaching English as a second language again this year. There appears to be a good spirit among the students, with almost no absenteeism. I believe this is due in part to t [...]
