OUR CHURCHES

Boucan Church
Pastor Rene Pesnick

Pastor René Pesnick

Boucan Church

The Boucan Church came under our leadership in 2018 and is located 2-1/2 hours from the main road up in the mountains. The congregation had been meeting in a stick structure with tarps with 25 people in attendance. In February 2019, a new church building was built. Many men from the community helped with this project, along side of a team of six men from the states, including an electrician, who wired the church for electricity so they could hold services at night. Since February 2019, the congregation has grown to 125. The pastor of the church is Pastor René Pesnick.

Leger Church

Much progress has been made on the church at Leger in spite of challenges with gas and supply shortages.  Didi continues to amaze us with his patience and creativity in moving the project forward.

We were able to lay the foundation and put up the walls of the new church building, but currently there are no materials available to finish the roof.

Leger Church is lead by Pastor Jean.

As always, please continue to keep Didi, Fresnel, our church leaders, their families and everyone in the church communities we serve in your prayers.  Thank you and hope to see you in September!

Couillot Church

Land acquisition is in progress.

Pastor Philippe leads this church. 

We have been challenged with the high cost of many building products in Haiti. This requires us to re-think our typical church building.  The current cost estimate for each building is now between $25,000-30,000, and Didi will be managing the construction.  He is a bit worried about meeting previous standards, but we have confidence in his leadership abilities and are excited to partner with him on these projects.

Ponce church

Pastor Elie Gilles Pierre

Ponce Church

The church at Ponce was our first church planted in Haiti. Numerous work teams from Quarryville and the surrounding communities worked side by side with our Haitian brothers to complete it in less than a year from concept to opening. Pastor Elie Gilles Pierre was hired to lead our congregation and the first service was held on August 24, 2014. The attendance at this church is around 140.

Community Well Conversion Project

 We established a community well at our Ponce church location during the construction project many years ago.  The well was used heavily by the surrounding community to provide fresh water to families.  Recently, the hand pump broke and we were unsuccessful at locating parts to repair.  However, we were able to successfully convert to a solar well pump with storage tank and our church community is really happy to have a nearby fresh water source again.
