Our Collective Story

In the Field...

Dan and Madel Beck, our missionaries and Executive Directors, answered their calling with a resounding “yes” in 2017. They moved to Haiti in 2018 and successfully built and guided the creation of a Professional Technical School in the Quest department of Haiti. Covid turned the world upside down, and as it began to dissipate, Dan and Madel realized the necessity of an organization to accomplish their calling. So, in 2020 the framework for Empowering Partners Inc. was created. EPI became incorporated as a NY based tax exempt 501c3 in 2021. Once again they responded, being called into northern Haiti as their faith required. Empowering Partners home base is situated south of Cap-Haitien, in the North Department on ½ Kawo (2+ acres) in the village of Thibeau (Tibo) Haiti. Dan and Madel’s skillsets are well suited to the mission life. Madel began her career as a teacher, and also learned the skills of a seamstress from her mother, while Dan spent his life in construction management and home building. And so the adventure began...

Experiencing God

  1. God is always at work around you.
  2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
  3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.
  4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways.
  5. God’s invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
  6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
  7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you.

Empowering Partners...  In 2024 through a licensing agreement with Lifeway, EPI has translated the Experiencing God study and will begin to publish, distribute and train leadership in a countrywide effort that will begin locally to disciple as many believers as possible using this proven text. EPI has spent two years in translation and review of the Experiencing God text from Blackaby Ministries, into Haitian Creole. Why would we do that? The answer is many of us at EPI have experienced for ourselves a profoundly greater understanding and deeper relationship with God in our own lives and ministry because of this study. Over and over in Haiti when we have led bible studies on our campus or doing community outreach, we encounter people who call themselves “Christians”, or believe they are “saved” who do not really know the truth or have a love relationship with God the father. It can be difficult to “evangelize” people who truly believe they are already saved or are a follower, but when presented with the truth... all things are possible!

Our Staff

Over the last 2 years we have developed a reliable staff. These staff members include the security team, a gardener, our core construction crew, the sewing and tailor team, and a revolving team of over forty construction laborers from the community of Tibo. We are also grateful for the local vendor who provides our construction team daily meals as well as catering for our special events.

Haiti Today, 2024

One of the most important facts to understand about Haiti today is that what is happening in Port au Prince, the capital and other areas, does represent the country of Haiti. The violent situation in Port au Prince and some other areas is having a devastating impact on human life there. The assaults by the gangs on their own people are vile and evil, the destruction of the city is immense, and the burden on the country in terms of governance, trade, mobility, employment, and education are beyond calculation at this moment. Today Haiti is struggling to assemble, maintain a functioning fledgling government, and to keep its ports and airports open. Workplaces are shuttered, education is suffering, healthcare is hard to find and there is a great lack of medicine and resources, and the schools are doing their best to stay open. While Haitians are divided about how to move forward, the beginning of July 2024 saw the arrival an UN backed International Intervention force led by Kenya. It is hard to find good news in Haiti, today and yet...

There is good news in Haiti today, the problem is it just doesn’t make for “gripping” headlines! Many areas of Haiti remain calm and for the most part business as usual. Our area in northern Haiti has been relatively stable allowing EPI to continue its programs, construction, and evangelistic efforts without delay or disruption. We praise God for this, while our prayers are with those who are pinned down in adversity and struggle. Haitians are extraordinarily resilient people; it is unlikely that “today” will be an exception...
