Harry and Tina Alexander
Tina Alexander trained in social work in London and worked for ten years specializing in Child Protection and Mental health.  In 1988, she visited the Caribbean with Lifeline Network International  and, while in Dominica, fell in love with Brother Harrigan. They married in 1993 and, for over 20 years, have built a life with their two children and extended family on the island . Here, Tina worked as a psychiatric Social Worker, developing a community psychiatry model until 2001 when she left the Ministry of Health to develop the NGO, Lifeline Ministries, and to study for a Masters in Counselling.

Tina’s passion is for children to enjoy their right to be safe, strong and free. She has a vision where everyone can access food, housing, education and healthcare, regardless of income, race, gender or religion. She aims to facilitate spaces where victims can come, broken, and transition from survivor, to advocate, to champion. To this end she has trained seventy volunteers to work in a victim support network and, a teens mentoring group collaborating with the Dominica National Council of Women.
Tina's Involvement with LNI
Tina became connected with John Singleton, the founder and Chair of Lifeline Network, in 1980 when she joined Lifeline Church.  Tina describes being part of the Network: ‘The sense of real shared life is key… a committed reliable caring context for holistic development… a safe place to make mistakes and get up… a context to be creative… distance makes no difference and being committed elsewhere simply builds on the foundation. It is in our DNA. The global connections where others have also caught this way of living are instant and precious.  Harry and I see ourselves as an integral part of the network: in relationship with other individuals across the globe who share our values”.
She says ‘We can 'be there' with people in their pain, their grief and their challenges and stand with them sharing what we have without creating dependency.’ With her work, she aims to create a presence in Dominica, standing up for integrity in project management, compassion for those traditionally rejected such as those living with disabilities sexually transmitted diseases and mental illness, and justice in particular for those who experience abuse and exploitation.
Harrigan Alexander
Chairman, Board of Directors
Harrigan "Harry" Alexander is the figurehead and spiritual authority of Lifeline Ministries, Dominica. Brother Harry is the foundation of the Ministry, whilst often in the background.

Having trained at Christ for the Nations Bible School in Montego Bay in Jamaica, Harry has an extensive prayer and preaching ministry. He
is also a licensed marriage officer.
 
Known as "Preacher" at Roseau Fisheries,  he has previously taken tourists on sea sight-seeing tours including giving introductions to local line-fishing. Unfortunately, he lost his boat to hurricane Maria and is patiently trying to raise funds to replace it.
 
Harry often is seen driving his grey pickup truck with Lifeline Ministries emblazoned across the windscreen, as he ferries tourists and delivers relief goods to families in need.

​He is truly the Father figure to the extended family that is Lifeline.

​Bernadette Jean Jacques plays a crucial role as office administrator.

She can also be found patiently assisting our sponsored families with children with special needs . She is a leader in her church and a key player in the Lifeline Family.
