					<description><![CDATA[Haiti (MNN) -- AMG 'supports' an indigenous church in Haiti]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
Haiti (MNN) &#8212; Last year at this time, <a href="../../groups/AMG">AMG International </a> team<br />
members reported a church in Grand Bassin, Haiti had no seating for its<br />
congregation.
</p>
<p>
It wasn&#39;t unusual for something so basic to be missing. This community of 20,000 has no electricity<br />
or power lines. There is no water piped into homes. There is virtually no<br />
medical care in this town. The closest hospital is 18 miles away.
</p>
<p>
Pastor Rodne partners with AMG International to change<br />
people&#39;s lives in Haiti. He leads a congregation of 1,000 members in<br />
Grand-Bassin. There is a large school of<br />
600 students who learn about Jesus in daily Bible classes. AMG donors sponsor<br />
children at this school, which helps pay for their schooling, supplies,<br />
uniform, and a daily meal.
</p>
<p>
According to AMG, the pastor realized that a medical clinic in<br />
Grand-Bassin was a growing necessity. It<br />
would be an opportunity to minister to the community and share the Gospel with<br />
hurting people.
</p>
<p>
The church provided the startup funds to begin building the<br />
medical clinic. An AMG short-term mission team arrived to help put up the<br />
walls.
</p>
<p>
Team members also visited Rodne&#39;s church and noticed that<br />
over 1,000 worshipers stood for hours during prayer and worship services. The team came home determined to raise funds<br />
to provide benches, at the cost of $100 apiece, to support the church<br />
outreach.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
As a result, fifty new benches are now helping the<br />
congregation as the members are discipled in their faith. Pray for Pastor Rodne, that<br />
the light of the Gospel will shine brightly through him in this ministry.
</p>
