History of Haiti Evangelical Christian Church
In 1988, while visiting the Gascogne community, Pastor St-Clair realized that there were no Christian churches that were preaching the Word of God. He prayed to God," If you give me a chance to go to Bible School I will come back and plant a church here for your glory." The Lord answered his prayer and provided a way for him to attend Bethel Bible Institute. Though he did not have enough funds to pay the tuition he prayed and asked God, "If it is your will for me to plant the church in Gascogne Community, please provide the money." In the same week the seminary administrator met with St-Clair and told him that there was someone who wanted to pay the tuition for a student. I was the one the administrator chose to receive those funds. This was the answer to prayer. In 1990, one year before graduating from the Bible seminary, Pastor St-Clair started the church with only eight people. In 1994 the church moved to a property in Marche-Canard where they are still currently located. In 2001, after helping to plant 10 churches in the area, HECC changed their status from church to Mission, in order to oversee and support the growing congragations. There is now about 300 hundred worshiping at the HECC mission here in Marche Conard. The mission now consists of over 40 affiliate churches across Haiti. God has also opened the door for many other ministries to begin at HECM including a health clinic, womens ministry, leadership seminars and most recently Celebrate Recovery. Praise be to God!
