EBEN-EZER!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Happy Anniversary<\/span><\/h1>\n

1990 – <\/span>2013<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u201cThen Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Eben-Ezer, \u201cThus far has the Lord helped us.\u201d I Samuel 7:12<\/p>\n

How appropriate is the declaration made by Samuel as we enter the 23rd anniversary year of the Redemption Baptist Church. We want to reflect on all the blessings bestowed upon us by the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the past years. The occasion is cause for us to reflect on the expanded role of the church in our community. The impact of that ministry in the lives of the people that choose RBC as their home-church is much greater than the duration of its existence. Our role has grown considerably over the years. We have seen more people come to the knowledge and deeper relationship with Christ. God has made it possible for that community to remain steadfast and united thus far.<\/p>\n

We have been exempt from the strife and division that are destroying the churches. In this its 23rd anniversary, RBC as a collective must do an inward stretch and an outward reach to defend our spiritual gains and strengthen our hearts for the future. But it is only in the renewed efforts and energy of the collective membership and our leadership that we will find both the passion and the courage to continue our journey toward eternity.
\nAs we close this chapter of our history and look towards the future, we will continue our efforts to reach the lost and edify the saints.<\/p>\n

We want to take this opportunity to thank first God and secondly those who have contributed and will continue to contribute their God\u2019s given talents and skills to expanding the mission of RBC in the diaspora and throughout our beloved Haiti.<\/p>\n

It is with great excitement that we invite you to help us celebrate that 23rd anniversary. As an integral part of our celebration, we are inviting you to join us for a week of revival and praise, starting on July 14th through the 19th, each night at 7:00 PM. The celebration will be on Sunday 21th, at 11:00 AM. We will conclude our celebration Sunday night with a service of total praise and adoration.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Jean-Marc Desire, a well-known expositor of the Word of God, will be the messenger for the entire week.<\/p>\n

Happy anniversary to all the members and friends of Redemption Baptist Church!<\/p>\n

Please, come and celebrate with us!<\/em><\/p>\n
