Missionaries John and Joyce Hanson have ministered to those living on the island of Haiti for over 27 years. They began to come to Haiti yearly in 1969. Knowing that he had to answer the FULL call of God, Pastor John closed his business in Virginia and moved to Haiti with his wife and two daughters in 1976. Their first plans were to help run an orphanage. HOWEVER, God had plans that far surpassed Pastor John’s.
God began to open different doors and little by little God placed the vision, dream, and zeal into the heart of Pastor John. As he walked in obedience, IMO began to flourish. Churches, schools, and clinics were born. In 1983 the IMO Bible School was dedicated at Delmas Haiti. After all these years, the fire continues to burn in Pastor John’s heart for the Salvation of souls, the destruction of demonic forces, and to see men and women of God raised up to be spiritual leaders to their own people.
Joyce, “Mme Pas” as known by the Haitian people, devotes her love for the children by dedicating herself to being a servant of the Lord. In doing so, she oversees the education of over 5,000 children every year. She labors diligently seeing that students have their supplies, teachers meet the Haitian government standards, and Sponsors can meet their child when they come to Haiti. By far her greatest passion is to bring Haiti to Jesus, one student at a time. Her love and commitment allows many Student Sponsors to touch lives that otherwise would be trapped in the bondage of illiteracy.
Ministering side-by-side together, John and Joyce fulfill the call of God on their lives. Building the Kingdom of God and going into all the world proclaiming that Jesus is Lord.
