God’s Word, the Bible, speaks of the prophet Samuel raising his Ebenezer (literally “Stone of Help”) as a memorial to God’s enduring faithfulness. This account is also a promise of God’s faithfulness in present times as well as the days ahead when we follow His will, His way, and on…
I am glad to be back after a two-day site visit to the Stone of Help network church in the village of Sanite in the south of the country, near Les Cayes. Four of us made the trip, to include leaders from the church in Martissant (Port-au-Prince). See this map…
