La Mission Inc.

Evangelizing the World with the Bible

OUR MISSIONARIES

La Mission Inc. is a small ministry with a big heart.  We are striving to attain the Heart of God, but we have a ways to go.  Below is a list of our missionaries, their families, and a brief description of what they believe the Lord has called and equipped them to do.

Rev. Robert E. Swann with his wife Silvane and son André.  As reported on the HOME page, Bob is our director and the founder of La Mission Inc.  Bob and his family are currently raising support and getting ready to sell their house to become full-time in the ministry.  All of the Swann’s fundraising efforts for the first ten years went directly into the ministry and the work of the Lord overseas.  Currently Silvane does housekeeping at a large hospital while Bob concentrates on Ministry.  Pray for the Swann family that they would get more speaking opportunities to further the work of the ministry and raise their own support so Bob could more fully follow the Lord’s call.

Don and Christine Ames have been serving the Lord full-time since 1996, and with La Mission Inc since 2001.  Both Don and Christine came to the Lord later in life after failed marriages, but once they realized what Jesus had done for them they decided to serve Him fully.  Christine came to the marriage with four children while Don has one.  All of the children are now grown and three of them have children of their own.

Don has worked in the consruction trades all of his adult life, including owning his own electrical contracting business for sixteen years.  Don worked with his father, a general contractor, for several years, and also built their own house which they sold in order to begin in ministry.  Don now feels led to use his diverse experience for the Lord by doing construction projects for churches, ministries, Christian hospitals, and Christian camps all over the world.

Christine also has a diverse background, though it is mostly in the clerical and retail fields.  Several times she would start a new job by working through a temp agency and after showing her intelligence and ability to learn quickly, she would be hired full-time and promoted.  Since marrying Don in 1992 she has helped build their home, cooked and done laundry for various work teams and routinely done the clerical work for several ministries and now for La Mission.

Don and Christine feel called to serve the Lord by traveling all over the world doing construction-based ministry and encouraging God’s laborers.  They live full-time in an RV which gives them a comfortable way to travel and a place to live at all of their stateside projects.  Check out their web site for newsletters and more: www.Ames4Him.com

Tony Hyppolite has been a trusted coworker with La Mission Inc in one way or another since 1999.  He is currently in charge of the new orphanage near Ouanaminthe, Haiti.  Tony supervises the care and feeding of the children along with overseeing the construction of the buildings themselves.  The pictures below show Tony with his wife and two daughters.

Tony came to Jesus as a teenager while reading the Bible on his own.  He didn’t understand his fascination in God’s word until the Holy Spirit opened his eyes one day to his own sinfulness and need of a Savior.  Since then Tony has been discipled by several mature Christians including his father-in-law and Pastor Bob Swann.  The Lord has given Tony a boldness to witness and a desire to serve the Lord in any way He desires.

Tony tells us that It’s by the sovereignty of God that he is allowed to work with La Mission Inc. He strives to be a true Haitian leader that fears God and serves Him with a serious heart and a life of honesty, sincerity, and compassion. Tony desires to be God’s instrument to be molded and shaped for use as the Lord sees fit.
