In this heartfelt episode of The Grand Weaver, we sit down with Dick Wildeman, a former Catholic priest who shares his journey from a reluctant participant in a parish meeting to a lifelong advocate for the people of Haiti.
From his first trip to Haiti in 1984, where he encountered armed soldiers at the airport, bumpy rides on overcrowded buses, and profound culture shock, Dick found himself captivated by the resilience, joy, and faith of the Haitian people.
Through touching anecdotes, he describes the immense challenges and rewards of working with remote villages, where simple requests for a roof, a cemetery, and basic medical care transformed into tangible acts of service. Dick reflects on how these experiences deepened his faith, reshaped his understanding of mission work, and revealed the true meaning of Christian service.
This episode is a powerful reminder of how God can use unexpected moments and reluctant hearts to create lasting change. Tune in to hear how Dick’s unwavering commitment has impacted countless lives in Haiti—and how Haiti, in turn, transformed his own.
