Our History

Ministries of Aides International, Inc. was founded by Reverend Lucien Duperier in 1981.  Rev. Duperier was born in the town of Port-Margot in northern Haiti. He is the son of Pierreville Duperier and Sulfida Osirus Duperier, and is the fifth child in a family of six boys and one girl. Lucien is the founding pastor of Grace Tabernacle Church of God in Massachusetts and eleven other churches in Haiti.

Growing up in Port-Margot, Haiti, Rev. Lucien witnessed his community's harsh living conditions from a young age.  He was burdened with the desire to change Port-Margot's way of life. In his teenage years, Rev. Lucien and his brother Rev. Gabriel Duperier rescued many abandoned and orphaned children from the streets. They brought these children home and provided them a safe and secure life under the loving care of the Duperier family.
