SAINT MICHEL CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Saint Michel is a city of almost 100,000 people on the crossroads between Cap-Haitien, Gonaives, and Hinche.
After attending Bible seminars conducted by Gonaives Christian Mission over the last several years, Saint Michel's elders and leaders recently decided to align themselves with the churches and ministries of Gonaives Christian Mission. Now, they fellowship and participate in the activities of the churches in Grand L'eau, Ennery, and Gonaives.
Saint Michel Christian Church is led by Edner Valeris. The church has approximately 120 members and 80 children meeting in a room in his house that is much too small for the growing congregation.
Land has been bought for a new sanctuary and a team from Christian Missionary Fellowship (CMF) laid the foundation for the building in January 2019. Since then Sainsurin has been driving almost daily from Gonaives to oversee the work as local Haitian craftsman have dug the well, put in the outhouse, and raised the walls!
