The Republic of Haiti occupies the western portion of Hispaniola, the West Indian island that it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere. Because of political unrest, UN peacekeeping forces have controlled Haiti since March 31, 1995. Glen and Rachel Smith founded the UPC of Haiti in 1966. The Daniel Vannoys, the first resident UPCI missionaries, arrived in 1978. According to the 2006 Annual Field Report, the UPC of Haiti has 50,614 constituents, 661 licensed ministers, and 585 churches and preaching points.

Bio: From a very early age, Ron Brian received God’s call to be a missionary. He vividly remembers standing on a chair as a small child to look at the missionary map. He dreamed that one day he would be able to fulfill that calling. It was not until years later that he moved his family to St. Louis, Missouri, to attend Gateway College of Evangelism. Immediately following graduation, the Brians began their ministry in Foreign Missions. The Brians have labored in Trinidad, Curacao, and currently reside in Haiti. Throughout their Foreign Missions ministry, they have placed great emphasis on training of national leaders through Bible school and seminars. Through personal evangelism, they have also established several new churches. Currently he serves as field superintendent of Haiti. Under their leadership, Haiti continues to experience revival on a grand scale. With 50,614 constituents, Haiti is the largest French-speaking UPCI work.
