Dana received her bachelor’s degree in communication science, with a minor in psychology from Florida State University. Haiti has always had a special place in Dana’s heart, as she traveled as a teenager to Haiti, bringing His word to many children in school settings. Dana is thrilled to be a part of this growing and expanding ministry and is continuously reminded that it is God’s timing, not our timing.

Diana graduated from Florida State University with a double major in Spanish and International Affairs. Upon graduation, she joined Teach for America and taught for two years. Then, in September of 2009, Diana and her husband Jay felt the call the move to Haiti and were forever changed. A few months later, the earthquake hit, and a little while after, Jay and Diana found themselves sleeping in a tent at Mission of Hope and thought they would be there for just a few days. Those few days turned into almost two years, as they quickly realized that Mission of Hope was doing exactly what they were passionate about: loving and empowering Haitians.

Soon after, Diana began translating and coordinating patient care in the Mission of Hope Prosthetics Lab. She loved working in the lab so much that she thought she’d go back to school to be a prosthetist! But the Lord quickly revealed that it was mostly the patients that made her love her job so much, and she had a deep desire to create jobs for the amputee women she grew so closely with. Always crafty at heart, Diana (along with her husband Jay and the help of many, many others) founded 3 Cords as an initiative to empower these Haitian women and show them that they are talented and valuable. Jay and Diana are now in California as Jay is getting his MBA, but they both hope to return to live in Haiti one day soon.

Their passion is to see the Haitian people changed by Christ and to see the lives of people who come to serve as short term missionaries changed as they allow God to use them as His hands, to those in need. They believe God wants to use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

Diana is originally from Wainfleet, Ontario. While attending the education program at Brock University, she felt the Lord calling her to pursue cross-cultural teaching opportunities rather than finding a job close to home.

With the Lord’s strength and courage, Diana committed to joining the missionary team at Mission of Hope, before ever visiting the country. Diana has now been teaching missionary children from kindergarten to grade 8 since September 2008. Diana also loves building relationships with the 3cords ladies, Hope House kids and Haitian friends in the local villages.

Jeremy was – theoretically -- birthed in Jacksonville, Florida. In a brisk five and a half years, he graduated college with the glamorous Interdisciplinary Study of the Arts degree. And one time, he turned 21. After that, he felt as if he was sucked into a space/time continuum which inevitably lead him to Haiti's shores. After six months and an earthquake, he awoke one morning in a tent, under Wall-E bed-sheets on Mission of Hope's front lawn. Brad offered him the position of MOH Emperor which was adamantly denied due to being extremely overqualified. Thus he humbly accepted the role of running Lespwa Means Hope to reach out and connect students to what is going on at MOH.

With great excitement and confidence in her decision, Lindsey joined the ranks of a talented group that comprise the workforce behind Mission of Hope Haiti in September of 2011.

Elizabeth is originally from Colorado. After graduating high school in 2001, she attended an intense leadership academy and studied global missions and leadership training. After spending 3 years in the program she knew that sharing the gospel to the ends of the earth is what truly made her come alive. In 2009 she felt the Lord calling her to Arkansas, so without any real explanation she took a leap of faith and obeyed the gentle whisper to go. She started working with the college ministry at the church she attended and joined the executive staff with a focus on discipleship and mentoring. Little did she know that her new church had a deep connection with Mission of Hope and a real love for the people of Haiti. In May on 2011 she came to Haiti for the first time on a weeklong trip.
