It’s still hard to talk about my childhood. I was born into a Christian family, one of four children, but I was still very young when my mom died. We never knew our father, and I ended up living with my aunt. Each part of my mother’s family took one of us. Our whole growing up we were apart. Though …
Let us see what God will do…
Before we share the story of what God has done this year in Bois-Caiman, I want to share the powerful context and challenge of what God did there August of 2019… There is an area not far from Emmaus called Bois-Caiman, a huge open field and surrounding homes where for 200+ years, political figures, business men, witchdoctors and people from …
Dr. Lucner, a testimony of praise in the path of a nightmare
“In March, as we read about, researched and prayed through Covid-19, it seemed to be such a nightmare. I am the senior pastor of a large church in Vaudreil, Cap-Haitian. As you know, Haiti has very little quality medical care, and most families live one day at a time. We didn’t know how Haiti was going to respond to the …

When I was a teenager, I was hanging out with my friends in the streets of Gonaïves, and there was a group of people who …

Come alongside someone working hard in their corner of His kingdom and get them some water. Join someone who is persevering in faithfulness to the Lord and give them a word of good courage. As we follow Him into …
Students touch the community
As staff and students have been deliberately sharing God’s Word in our village every Thursday around Emmaus, we’ve been looking for ways to share God’s love, too. This week, that meant students hooking up kiddos—both those heading to school and those not—with notebooks, pencils, school supplies, the Gospel and prayer. As we train, equip and love our students, they are …
