VOHM Organizational Structure
|
Vision of Hope Ministries (VOHM) is the
administrative, spiritual and financial support organization within the
United States and Haiti for the ministries overseen by our missionary
Henoc Lucien in Northern Haiti. We seek to fulfill the vision and
mission of our Lord Jesus Christ for church planting in N. Haiti as
expressed to Henoc Lucien and affirmed by the board of directors of
VOHM. Please see our Vision Statement.
VOHM is incorporated as a C corp. in the
state of Wisconsin and has been granted Federal 501 C 3 tax exemption.
This exemption means all donor contributions to the ministry are exempt
from federal and state income tax.
VOHM
is composed of a volunteer six-member board of directors, which always
includes Henoc Lucien. Each board member is elected for 3-year terms.
VOHM has two paid staff members. These members include a part time
administrative coordinator and Henoc Lucien-our full time missionary in
Haiti. Members of the leadership team in Haiti are partially supported
through VOHM. VOHM fully ascribes to the statement of faith of the
Evangelical Free Church of America, however board members, and ministry
workers must only endorse this statement to work in the ministry. We
wholeheartedly accept and encourage Christians from all denominations
to participate in the work.
VOHM
is charged with providing marketing, fund raising, team
coordination, long-range ministry planning, financial administration
and accountability for the work in Haiti. The board also provides for
spiritual oversight and accountability to Henoc Lucien so as to ensure
balance within his life between family and ministry.
Henoc Lucien is the
senior field missionary and as such oversees all the ministries of VOHM
in N. Haiti. Henoc is an ordained minister in the EFCA. Henoc reports
to the VOHM Board. All of the leadership for the various field
ministries in N. Haiti report to Henoc. Henoc’s calling is in
preaching, teaching and evangelism. The current ministries and their
leadership which report to Henoc Lucien are:
• EFC of Cap Haitien and its associated ministries
• EFC of Berard and its associated
ministries.
• Eglise Evangelique de la Grace
(Grace Evangelical Church) in Grande Riviere du Nord.
• College Susan Schuenke a
primary and
secondary Christian school.
