Our History

One Foot Raised began as a nonprofit in September 2016, but the leadership has been in Haiti serving for 8 years. Through the adoption process in Haiti of our two youngest children, we saw with our own eyes the need and strength of the Haitian people. We began leading teams to Haiti in 2008, and have taken trips several times each year. We knew that God had broken our heart for Haiti, and we began asking how we were to be involved. Through our travels in Haiti, we knew that God wants to use the local church to make a difference in each community. We began interviewing pastors and vetting them to find pastors who were passionate about the Lord, salvation for their community, and discipleship within. We would then pray to have a church in the United States that would want to partner with them and see spiritual and physical transformation take place in their communities. It has been amazing to watch how God provides and continues to call believers into obedience and service in Haiti.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

• The Bible is the infallible Word of God, His holy and inspired Word, and the supreme and final authority.
• There is only one God, eternally existing in three Persons- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took on Himself all our sins, died and rose again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our Mediator and Advocate.
• All men and women everywhere are sinful and face the judgment of God, and need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through His shed blood on the cross.
• Christ rose from the dead and is coming soon.
• We believe in holy Christian living, and that we must have concern for the hurts and social needs of our fellow man.
• We must dedicate ourselves anew to the service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives.
