Cory felt a call to missionary service during his high school years and chose to earn a B.S. degree in horticulture to be used in missions. As a child, Kris (TerAvest) lived for two years on the island of LaGonave in Haiti. It was during this time that Kris felt a call to missionary service while watching the staff of the Wesleyan hospital. Over the years, both Cory and Kris have had a wide and varied experience in missions. Since 1998 they have served as missionaries in Haiti.

Cory’s desire is to be a servant, using agricultural development to help meet the needs of his brothers and sisters in Christ, helping to strengthen their faith, and drawing those who do not know the Lord into a relationship with Him.

In preparation for her ministry, Kris earned her M.D. degree and specialty in family practice medicine. Her desire is to do the Lord’s will, teaching nationals to be able to give their people better health care and, thereby, opening doors for people to see God’s love and receive His salvation.

"…for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12 NAS).
