Vallue Church, Haiti

About 18 months ago, Palm Valley built our first church building.  We decided that instead of building our first building in the west valley, for our own use; it would be a God-thing to build it in Haiti for the use of Vallue Baptist Church. We value our partnership with Pastor Emmanuel and the wonderful people of Vallue.  It was such a joy for me to stand in the pulpit and deliver words of encouragement to this church body just a few months ago.  However, the building partially collapsed last week during the earthquake.  The rest will most likely need to be torn down, and the building rebuilt.  We resolve to stand by our brothers and sisters in Vallue (as well as all our partners in Haiti)!  God will be glorified, and the name of Jesus made known to the people of Haiti!
