Missionary team brings 'support' to a Haitian church

Last year at this time, AMG International team members reported a church in Grand Bassin, Haiti had no seating for its congregation, reports MNN.

It wasn't unusual for something so basic to be missing. This community of 20,000 has no electricity or power lines. There is no water piped into homes. There is virtually no medical care in this town. The closest hospital is 18 miles away.

Pastor Rodne partners with AMG International to change people's lives in Haiti. He leads a congregation of 1,000 members in Grand-Bassin. There is a large school of 600 students who learn about Jesus in daily Bible classes. AMG donors sponsor children at this school, which helps pay for their schooling, supplies, uniform, and a daily meal.

According to AMG, the pastor realized that a medical clinic in Grand-Bassin was a growing necessity. It would be an opportunity to minister to the community and share the Gospel with hurting people.

The church provided the startup funds to begin building the medical clinic. An AMG short-term mission team arrived to help put up the walls.

Team members also visited Rodne's church and noticed that over 1,000 worshipers stood for hours during prayer and worship services. The team came home determined to raise funds to provide benches, at the cost of $100 apiece, to support the church outreach.

As a result, fifty new benches are now helping the congregation as the members are discipled in their faith. Pray for Pastor Rodne, that the light of the Gospel will shine brightly through him in this ministry.
