The Zachary Family

This page is so you can understand how we are all connected

This is my mom (Gretchen) and dad (Davis “Zach”)

Gretchen was a RN.  She was a stay at home mom for many years.  A rescess lady at our schools.  She began to get back to working as a nurse on a Peds floor. She worked there several years before moving full time to Haiti in 1994.  She founded a medical clinic in 1994 in Haiti.  Gretchen was a great mother, wife and supporter of many.  We are carrying on her vision to help those in need in Haiti.  Gretchen passed away in June 2003.

Davis “Zach” moved to Haiti in 1994 with Gretchen and Casey.  He began to drill water wells in many areas in Haiti.  He also delivered weekly food to feeding centers that feed around 1400 children.  He continues to help out in many ways to keep the mission running and get much needed supplies in for us and the Haitain community we live in.

 

Lori(the oldest) moved to Haiti in June 1998.  She graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 1996 with a Bachelor in nursing and a minor is mission.  She worked for two years to pay off loans and get work experience.  She is is the head of the medical clinic.  Charles and Lori were married in Dec of 2003.

    Lori,
    It has been forever since I have seen or talked to you. I am so sorry to read about your mom passing. I am so happy to see you are married. I am still married to Dave, and we live in Fort Wayne Indiana. I am a property manager. We don’t have any children yet. How about you? I would love to hear about what is going on with you.

    Hi Zack

    Hey Zack, I really enjoy assisting with your mission events. I’m not sure if this is where I’d need to put in this request, but I’d to keep in touch with you via email or some how. Each time I hear of real hope for haiti or assist with mission needs if lifts me up to a new level that I feel that I need to be doing more. My email address is darren_krug@yahoo.com.

    Hello, Zachary’s! I have thought about you all often over the years!! I ask my dad for updates periodically. He told me about Gretchen and my heart goes out to you. I am about to finish nursing school and know that in my future there will hopefully be ways to use that to share Jesus’ love. Thinking of that prompted me to look for you (love Google!) and here you are!! I just wanted to send my love and say hello!!

    I’ve read for quite some time, but my first time commenting. The ministry you have is such an amazing ministry. I work with a mission in Saut d’Eau, and know of at least one young life that your center touched that will hopefully be shared by our mission soon.

    Also, I found out a lady who attends the church that I work at is best friends with a relative of yours. If I’m not mistaken, it would be your aunt.
