Storly and Kate Michel
Radio 4VEH
Be a lifeline of hope for Haiti’s people through 4VEH
Like many people in the city of Cap Haitien, northern Haiti, Rev. Storly Michel grew up listening to Radio 4VEH. He knew when it was time to go to school when a particular radio program ended.
Years later in 1996, as a pastor and theologian, Storly began presenting a radio program for young people at Radio 4VEH. He now serves as station director for a second time. He also presents several programs, including daily Bible reading and a Sunday morning devotional, and he is the voice of the audio New Testament on Resounding Hope solar radios/audio players.
Storly’s radio ministry also includes the translation, recording, and production of the well-known J. Vernon McGee Thru The Bible study series into Haitian Creole in a daily 30-minute program that is broadcast across Haiti.
Storly has a diploma in computer science, a bachelor’s in theology from North Haiti Christian University (Limbe, Haiti), and a master’s in communications from Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (Oxford, England). It was in this master’s class in 2002 that he met his future wife, Kate.
Kate, from South Wales, joined the Radio 4VEH staff in 2008 as Marketing & Communications director after five years alongside Storly at the radio station in Cap Haitien. She’s a communications professional, with a bachelor’s in international business and a master’s in communication. Kate served for more than a decade with an international Christian relief and development organization, including several years as a journalist and photographer in West Africa and in Haiti. Kate has a unique perspective on Radio 4VEH’s work, speaking with authority about the impact of Radio 4VEH in the lives of listeners.
Kate is a key leader of the Resounding Hope solar radios initiative. Through stories, photos, speaking engagements, newsletters, websites, social media, and more, she leads fundraising efforts, shares prayer requests and praises, and reports back to supporters on how people are being drawn to Jesus through radio.
After serving in Storly’s home country of Haiti, Storly and Kate Michel and their two daughters, Hannah (born 2006) and Esther (born 2007), are based near OMS World Headquarters in Indiana, USA (with trips to Haiti) where they are providing leadership for Radio 4VEH and engaging supporters with Radio 4VEH ministry.

Stephen and Barbara were married in 1983.
The Duhrkoops say of their work in Japan, "We are serving in a country that, though affluent and rich with traditions, has a younger generation that is rejecting many of the traditions, leading to a breakdown of the family, and many youth are without hope and are dissatisfied with life. Today, we need to evangelize this lost generation, creating disciples who will be discipled to reach more disciples. We need to train and release the Japanese to win their fellow Japanese."
The Duhrkoops have two grown children, Joshua and Pamela.

Pam Duhrkoop

Pam Duhrkoop serves as a HOPE61 international trainer in Japan and South Korea. HOPE61 is One Mission Society’s human trafficking prevention ministry. HOPE61 seeks to partner with national churches to raise awareness about human trafficking and equip them to prevent human trafficking in their communities through evangelism, discipleship, and intentional community building.
Pam is the daughter of One Mission Society missionaries and grew up on the mission field in Japan. Being surrounded by career missionaries for as long as she can remember, she felt a pull toward overseas missions from a young age. In 2004, she returned to the United States to attend college. The summer after returning to the U.S., she attended an OMS conference, where her call to missions was solidified. She received an undergraduate degree in sociology and a graduate degree in criminology and criminal justice. Throughout her time at college, the Lord developed a deep love and passion for social justice in her heart.
In June 2013, Pam attended a HOPE61 training, where God placed a call on Pam’s heart to serve those who are already enslaved in human trafficking as well as those who are vulnerable to becoming trafficked or traffickers. From 2015 to 2017, Pam served with HOPE61 in South Korea. While there, she worked with fellow trainer Monica to develop the HOPE61 training curriculum to fit the South Korean cultural context, and she did extensive research on human trafficking in South Korea. While there, Pam was also involved in English ministry at a local Korean church, leading an English Bible Study and English ministry for kids.
While in South Korea, the door opened for the HOPE61 ministry to begin in Japan. Pam felt the Lord leading her to transfer to Japan to begin the HOPE61 ministry there as well. She is currently funding to go to Japan as a career missionary. She will continue to make several trips back to South Korea each year to assist with the ministry there.
