Who we are

EFHMI (Experiencing Faith and Hope Ministries International) began with Ismaël and Emmania Dora, a Haitian couple living in Atlanta, GA since August 2010. Ismael has earned his master’s degree in Divinity from Luther Rice University (Lithonia, GA), his ThM from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Wake Forest, NC), and his PhD in Hebrew and Old Testament from Clarks Summit University/Baptist Bible Seminary (Clarks Summit, PA), where he now serves as adjunct professor. He also serves as Sunday school teacher and piano player at Atlanta Bible Baptist Church in Decatur, GA.
His wife Emmania has completed her dental training in Haiti and her master’s degree in Public Health from Liberty University.

This couple has been blessed with four children: (1) Michelle Dora (January 04, 2011), Ishaelle Dora (March 27 2014), Ismael Dora Jr. (June 13, 2017), and Daniel Dora (February 19 2022).

In 2020, Ismaël and Emmania were commissioned as missionaries by ABWE/LiveGlobal (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism) to minister the gospel among the Haitians living in the Caribbean.
