​"My strength and my heart may fail, but God is the strength
of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26

Pray for me
* to re-learn Creole quickly
* adjust to living on the very      
​   mission center where I grew up
   in Les Cayes, Haiti
* as I find my niche and serve the
   Lord with my fellow
   missionaries and RMI's national
​   staff

      I am not the author...
    but the story being written.

God is the one who has called me to Haiti and the Haitian people.  Jesus is the one who deserves to be worshiped and praised by all.  Everyone needs to know the amazing relationship God has for us, and I feel He has put that passion in my heart to share.  The Holy Spirit encourages and spurs me on to complete His will for my life.  I am a vessel for His will not my own.  My love and calling with the Haitian people is a passion stirred on by God.  I am not perfect, but I want to strive for a life of Christ-likeness. 

"I feel like I'm living in the middle of a National Geographic movie."
"I really am so happy! I feel at home, and so content. The beaches are a plus but even when I’m sitting at home I thank the Lord He has granted me this calling."

What about Sending a Package? 
My new address is:
          Dawn Shoemaker - CAY 31093
          Agape Flights
          100 Airport Ave.
          Venice, FL  34285

Agape Flights is a ministry that resources missionaries in the Caribbean.  They fly in our mail as well as packages once a week.  You can send me packages, but be aware that for anything over 1 lb., I have to pay $4 a pound.  This is to defray Agape’s cost of flying it to me as well as for customs.  They have a good explanation of how it works HERE
.  If you have a question about sending something, feel free to contact me first.  A package typically takes 2-3 weeks to reach me.

Who am I?
* I am a 3rd generation missionary on both sides of my family.  On my dad's side of the family, my grandparents were missionaries in Cayes, Haiti for 10 years and in the US for 30 years.  On my mom's side of the family, my grandparents were missionaries in the US for 15 years and in Germany for 14 years.
* My parents were missionaries in Cayes, Haiti for 25 years and 12 years in the US.
* I'm living in the same house that my dad lived in as a single missionary, 1981-1983, before he and my mom were married.
* I was born in Cayes, Haiti and grew up there until we moved to the US when I was 15 years old.
* I knew God was calling me to be a missionary when I was a small child.
* Yes, I'm 6' tall and yes, I play volleyball!

* I love to laugh, use my gift of hospitality, be creative and share about my personal relationship with God.
* Yes I did - I adopted a puppy!  Meet Ivory.  She's a pure bred white German Shepherd.
