FOODWe provide a hot breakfast and dinner each day. Should we mention that Michael has been cooking in restaurants for over a decade? Debbie is sharing her recipes with Michael, but don’t be surprised if Michael throws in an idea or two of his own! We think the OHOH food is going to be delicious!
A small snack area will be available where cold and hot drinks, granola bars and chips can be purchased at a nominal fee. |

TRANSPORTATION We provide transportation to and from the airport. We can provide information on private Haitian van and bus owners for travel during your time in Haiti. Feel free to email haiti@donshire.com if you need these recommendations before you arrive. We can also arrange transportation for you with advance notice. |
HISTORY
Our House of Hope was founded by missionaries Jim & Debbie Hambrick in 2012. They, through God’s leading and miraculous provision, built this ministry into a beautiful safe haven in the middle of one of the poorest cities in the world. DSM International was approached by Jim and Debbie in 2018 asking if we would consider leading the ministry into the future. After much prayer we felt God was leading us to continue their legacy to make Our House of Hope a place of refuge and replenishment. It also provides a wonderful base for our DSM International Haiti ministries!
God has brought a wonderful team together to serve Haitian and international teams in Haiti. In August of 2019, Michael and Reese Spencer took up residence at Our House of Hope. They are the directors of Our House of Hope. They serve teams with joy and hospitality. Around this same time, David and Jennifer Nelson joined the DSM International team. They help lead teams and help a teams through the process of getting to Haiti. Reese and Michael began our Venture internship program in January of 2021. Also in 2021 Hailey Pierce joined are staff to help serve teams and interns at Our House of Hope.
In September of 2021, we pray that we will complete our final payment on Our House of Hope. We pray that Our House of Hope will be a base camp for DSM International in Haiti. Pray that we will use this wonderful resource to make a difference in the country of Haiti and in the the hearts of international teams that come to serve in Haiti.
