By January 19, 2010July 16th, 2014No Comments

“All our church members are affected by the earthquake, one way or the other,” says Pastor Jacquelin Saint-Preux of Eglise Evangelique Baptiste, Elmont, N.Y. The Long Island church, comprised of first-generation Haitian believers, joined the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches in 2009.

“Our members are still struggling to grasp the destruction in our country,” Pastor Saint-Preux says, detailing how church members have lost parents, children, brothers, and sisters during the Hatian tragedy. “All of us in the church have lost nieces and cousins. I have many friends of mine who died where I used to live when I was in Haiti.” Pastor Saint-Preux shares the following requests regarding people in his church who are affected by the earthquake.
