Dan and Gillian Shoemaker arrived in Haiti with OMS International in 2000 for a one-year term. In 2007, they see no end in sight.

Dan and Gill came to the Lord later in life. It all started when two Christian women witnessed to Gill over a two-year period. Gill started to go to church, and Dan followed later. On a Men for Missions
 trip, Dan went to Colombia and had a Holy Spirit experience while on a tour of the prison ministry. Over the next year, 
they both went on a mission trip to Japan, and Dan also visited Haiti for the first 
time. The Lord confirmed in them both 
that Haiti was His plan for them.

They brought their two boys, Jake and Cody, then 10 and 13. Now, they are grown. Cody is living in Ontario, Canada, and working in mechanics. Jake is studying in Haiti for his GED exam and working on the seminary construction site. He will return to Canada in the spring of 2008.

Dan is also responsible for vehicle and generator maintenance. He is active with the many Men for Missions short-term teams that come each year to help in construction, with the medical 
clinic and in evangelism. If you are interested  in participating on a work team, you can find out more at www.menformissions.org.
