Church Mourns the Loss of Haiti Missionaries
Jan 21

Bishop David Roller stood in front of the pile of rubble that was the Friends of Haiti guest house in Port-au-Prince on Saturday, four days after the killer quake that struck the city.
The flat roof of what had been a four-story building rested intact on top of the 12-foot pile.
…Two of those caught in the building’s collapse, Merle West and Gene Dufour, were winter residents of Light and Life Park, a Free Methodist retirement community in Lakeland.
…
“Every missionary goes knowing he may not come back,” he said, “But they wanted their lives to be about something bigger than themselves. They understood the danger, but as followers of Jesus, they were agents of healing.”
