Arcahaie, Haiti
Pastor Samuel had different plans for his career path when God called him to ministry. But now that he has seen the fruit of his years of service, he never questions that he is right where God wants him to be. As part of the Bold Hope staff, Pastor Samuel acts as a mentor, father figure, church planter and community leader. His responsibilities go far beyond Sunday morning and weekly church meetings. He mentors some of the oldest youth in our program, who see him as a father. He has been instrumental in the planting of three churches in nearby villages. His ministry has included many baptisms of new believers and wedding ceremonies for couples who learned from him the importance of marriage. His wife, Wislande, leads the children's ministry at the church. Church families come to him when they are in crisis, and he often helps them out of his own resources. We are so grateful for his family's commitment to Bold Hope's ministry in Haiti.
Prayer:
- Praise God for the recent celebration of the 10th anniversary of the church Pastor Samuel leads at Bold Hope's site
- For every family in our program to be connected to a local church
- For strength and wisdom for Pastor Samuel and his family
How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14
