Its Excelsior Technical Institute prepares young people for employment, while medical missions have helped approximately 10,000 people. Working with the Building Goodness Foundation, FLM-Haiti also established a community health center serving rural communities.

An educator and historian, Pamphile has authored nine books examining relations between Haiti and the United States. His scholarship explores the shared struggles of Haitians and African Americans against slavery, racism and discrimination.

A University of Pittsburgh doctoral graduate and Church of God in Christ bishop overseeing 120 churches, Pamphile connects intellectual leadership with practical service. His work advances a durable vision for Haiti, equipping people with knowledge, skills, care and hope to strengthen their lives and their communities.
