PLEASE Help us change lives in Haiti

Guy Deve Theodore was born in the rural mountainous village of Pignon, Haiti and frequently accompanied his father, a Baptist lay minister, on donkey rides as he preached and cared for the sick and dying throughout the area. At the age of 12, he could not understand all the poverty, sickness, and suffering, and asked his Earthly and Heavenly Fathers to help him become a doctor to serve his people.

His prayer was answered as he pursued his education in Port-au-Prince, interned in the United States and practiced in New York for five years. He planned to buy a house in the U. S. in 1978, but God reminded him of his earlier prayer and his promise to help his people. Instead of the home purchase, Dr. Guy used the funds to initiate God's plan for Pignon by starting the first construction of a clinic on the site where he was born in Pignon. He entered the U. S. Air Force to continue his service to mankind and broaden his professional experiences.

Dr. Guy became the Chief Surgeon at the Little Rock Air Force Base and in 1981 formed the Christian Mission of Pignon, Inc. with the help of Arkansans, who began making medical and dental trips to his home village. He became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1982, being one of the few Haitians to achieve this distinction.

In 1983, after seven years in the U. S. Air Force and achieving the rank of Colonel, he went home to serve his people full time and fulfill his promise to carry out God's vision that had been shared with him.

Peter Jennings of ABC NEWS honored Dr. Guy Theodore in September 1994 by choosing him as "Person of the Week"
