In Country Directors

Dieula Laguerre

Women’s Ministry Director

Dieula Laguerre knew she was called to be a missionary at a young age. She learned what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ through the youth leader at her church. Her eyes were opened to how most churches in Haiti do not know how to disciple or teach discipleship. She realized there were no resources for Haitians to be taught on discipleship; especially for women. She wanted to start discipleship training with women in her own country. Her dream became a reality when God allowed Dieula’s path to cross with A Light of Hope and become the Women’s Ministry Director.

Dieula lives and supports her siblings in Haiti.

Marcie Bergstrom

Founder

Marcie Bergstrom is the founder of “A Light of Hope”. She first travelled to Haiti in 2009 on a visionary trip and immediately fell in love with the people and culture. Since then she has worked in Haiti through numerous mission trips and ministry partners and continues to help support those in need. She created “A Light of Hope” to reach women and children in impoverished cities in Haiti. In many of these cities, spiritual resources are scarce. A Light of Hope is working to eliminate this need by publishing women’s bibles studies in creole and supplying women and their families with these bible studies to help them dig deeper into God’s word and grow spiritually. Her vision is to help teach these families to live sustainably through ALOH’s various ministries while creating an atmosphere where there is zero dependency on A Light of Hope.

Hello there! I am a wife, a mom, a business owner, and most importantly a daughter of the Most High! I love traveling, and have been to Haiti twice in the last 8 years. Both experiences where completely profound to me, and I feel in love with the people immediately! As a female in the world of owning a business, I know how important it is to come along side other woman to pray, encourage, and equip. I am excited to be here and uplift other woman to help support themselves and their families!

I traveled to Haiti in 2018 and saw the beauty of this country and its people and I have wanted to help in some capacity ever since. Marcie asked me to join the board this year and I am privileged to help this mission keep moving forward. Giving these women any amount of momentum to help empower them to better their days is where I love to stand. I have been put here to find my purpose and these women and their strength show me they are it. To the women of Haiti what more can we do in your time of need?
I find my passion in volunteering!
