Share Jesus Without Fear is a gathering where Dr. Eddie will teach a fear-free method of sharing your faith. We won't be knocking on doors on these nights - just learning a great method of how to share our faith that we can use in our day to day interactions. Students and older children are encouraged to attend too!

Please sign up - we will be providing some snacks and need a good count of who will be coming.

Southern Baptist Convention

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a body of like-minded local churches cooperating together to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are currently more than than fifty thousand Southern Baptist cooperating churches and church-type missions. Though as many as two hundred could be counted as “mega-churches,” the vast majority run less than two hundred in weekly worship. No two churches are alike; but there are certain commonalities that bind Southern Baptists together, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, language, size, or location.

Respire Haiti

Respire Haiti was founded by Megan Boudreaux [Ethel, LA]. After a visit to Gressier as a young adult, God began working in her heart. When she returned to the US, He began to pull her heart back towards Gressier and its children. In December of 2010, God gave Megan a vision for this community and their children. With so many children not attending school and so many families struggling to provide for their kids, she moved to Gressier permanently in January of 2011 and began helping the children and people of Gressier.
