Grand Saline Pastor Madam Anthony
It is always a precious event when saints go to be with Jesus. Our dear pastor Madam Anthony Coreus of our church in Grand Saline, Haiti walked though the gates of heaven Saturday evening. I have mixed emotions about her going. I am thrilled for her, she has finished the race and did it well. I have always been so proud of her and tried to tell her so. In the village of Grand Saline her pastor died. No one was willing to assume that role. She stepped up to the need as many women have done in church history and filled that role. She was under a bit of pressure lately as the land the church was on was not owned by the church and was rented. The fact that she was a woman had made her and ministry more difficult.
[Right- Here is Madam Pastor Anthony on her bike for our pastors donated by Brandywine Community Church. One new she really enjoyed this new addition to her ministry.]
Would you join me in several prayer requests for her ministry and legacy? First, lets thank God for her courageous ministry. She did what was needed and no one else would do. We are setting up the Madam Anthony Memorial Fund to purchase land for her church and to care for some of her final needs. Pray for her family, her church and the replacement for her. Take and moment wherever you are and thank God for this willing servant and ask him to raise up more with the Madam Anthony courage and faith.
Thanks for stopping by.
