Joyce Pipkin - Education Equals Hope

JOYCE PIPKIN

Les Cayes and Cavaillon, Haiti Site Coordinator

Joyce is originally from the Chicago area and has lived in Columbia, S.C., since 1997 with her husband, John, a professional pilot with a passion for aviation ministries. She has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and worked in the mortgage lending industry for over 30 years.

In 1998, Joyce and John became active in the Outreach Ministries of their home church, Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church in Columbia. In 2001, they volunteered to travel to the far southwest of Haiti for the first time to visit and report on their church’s supported mission site there. Haiti captured their hearts and Joyce committed to coordinate Saint Mary’s education sponsorship programs at Les Cayes and Cavaillon. She visited their ministry partners and led mission teams to the South of Haiti two to three times each year until 2020. Since that time in-person visits have not been possible due to political and gang violence. However, our work continues each year, by the grace of God, with daily communications via Whats App, email and monthly video calls with our onsite team in Haiti.

In 2012, the administration of these programs transitioned to Education Equals Hope. Joyce continues her passion to help the children and young adults of Haiti as volunteer Partnership Coordinator for e-h. She and her husband enjoy spending time with their family as well as flying, traveling, and sharing about the variety of missions God has called them to serve.
