Our Team
The Board of Directors of Love for L’Allemand is made up of 8 members who actively pray for, support and have been to L’Allemand, Haiti. We believe that God united all of the board members through various circumstances and interactions to be a part of this organization to play specific roles as needed. Together, the board passionately strives to assist the work of Pastor Fontaine, the church, the school, and the community with its leaders, while trying not to create dependency or exert unnecessary control. It is the desire of the board that this mission will always be led and operated by Haitians, who better know how to serve their own people and community.
The board exists to offer advice, maintain a level of accountability with the Haitian leadership, and assist when needed. The board is assisted through advice, research, and translating by several local young men and women.
Assistants to the Board: Jacques and Dayana Gilbert, and Mirdjinski (James) Telfort.
Lori McKenzie
Co-Founder, President & Treasurer
In June, 2012, after serving in northwest Haiti for several years with other missions, Lori felt led by God to meet with her long-time friend Pastor Fontane to see what his work in the mountain was like. After just a 6 day visit to L’Allemand with a small group of American friends, she knew that was where God wanted her to serve. After many meetings with Pastor Fontane, other local missions and much prayer, God opened the doors to start Love for L’Allemand. It became an official 501c3 ministry in September, 2013.
Lori is married to Chris and they have 3 daughters who have all been to L’Allemand as well.
