Episode 9: Jon's Birth and the Revolution

Dave and Judi Coats spent the majority of 1980-1990 in Haiti as part of a mission team. This 12 episode podcast contains conversations where Dave and Judi share events like the births of two of their children in Haiti, family adventures, hardships, the removal of Jean Claude Duvalier (1986), and they will forever remember many wonderful people they met during those years. Living in a poverty-stricken country changed their lives, causing them to appreciate life itself. They wrote letters home nearly every week, and Dave’s mother saved the letters. The stories come directly from those letters.
