HSC Testimony – Haiti 2015 By DeZavier Dewberry

Hope Worldwide • June 9, 2015

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭45‬ NIV)

Going to HSC Haiti was an absolute dream come true. For years, I always wanted to go and by the grace of God I was able to experience this amazing mission trip back in March 2015. I’ve learned so much and I’m happy to share it with you.I attended HSC for one reason: to serve. I wanted to give my heart to the people of Haiti and to serve the orphaned children. I wanted to witness the poverty, I wanted to witness the worship of the disciples, and I wanted to be an extension of love and encouragement. Since our Haiti trip, I have learned so much along with what it means to truly be a servant. A couple of things I learned was contentment: the joy and smiles on those who are stricken with poverty was a beautiful sight to behold. How could I not be content with all that I have?; gratitude: being grateful for what God has given to me, being thankful always regardless of my situation or troubles. To this day, I am still impacted by Haiti and still encouraged by the disciples who gave much to me from what little they had.

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
