Jan Flanagan

Who I Am

Jan and her husband Keith grew up in the rural community of Texhoma, Oklahoma. They were married right after Keith finished his undergraduate degree. Keith then went to Oklahoma State University School of Veterinary Medicine. After his graduation, he served two years with the Army. He then joined a mixed animal practice in Marlow, Oklahoma for the next seven years.

In 1986, Keith went on a short-term trip with CVM to Haiti and when he returned Jan knew that his life had been touched by the Haitian people and their beautiful country. In 1987, the Flanagan family responded to the call of the Lord to serve long-term in Haiti where they continued to serve for the next 26 years.  In 2013 Keith passed away and left a great void in his family and in the community where he was serving but, through it all, Jan has continued to support and encourage the work that the Flanagans began as a family.

My Work

Jan has returned to the United States, where she continues to encourage and support some of the special projects continuing in Haiti. The Sewing School continues to grow and is a blessing to help give Haitian ladies a skill to provide for their families. She continues to help support special outreach programs for Pastor Cantave Blanc and Odilon Estime with their schools and church in the Artibonite Valley where Keith and Jan lived for over nine years.
