Don Shire: Haiti Is a War Zone, and the Orphans Still Sing

Don Shire: Haiti Is a War Zone, and the Orphans Still Sing

Author: David Fiorazo January 5, 2026 Duration: 55:31
DON SHIRE Today on Stand Up For The Truth’s new podcast, Dave Wager sits down with longtime friend and global missionary Don Shire of DSM International. Don shares how God took an ordinary guy with a trumpet and opened doors to ministry in 38 countries, using music to draw crowds and the gospel to change hearts. Along the way, Don watched needs rise up right in front of him, and those needs became real, boots-on-the-ground work: orphan care, schools, church building, widow ministry, and training local believers to serve their own communities. The heartbeat of the episode is simple and personal, God still uses willing people. Dave anchors the conversation in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, calling listeners to pray, intercede, and give thanks, and reminding us that God desires people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Before the hour is over, you will hear a clear invitation to stop treating missions like a distant idea, pray for what God is doing through Don, and consider participating, financially and faithfully, in the work the Lord is doing around the world through DSM International.
