Haitian Church was established by Miami First Church of the Brethren in 1982. This coming month of March, the congregation will celebrate its 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we celebrate God\u2019s faithfulness for 40 years of trials and 40 years of victory, we ask that you join us in giving praise to God for all of those who gave their times, talents, and resources for this ministry to be planted and survive 40 years. We are grateful to Miami First Church of the Brethren, the Atlantic Southeast District, and the whole Church of the Brethren family for the hospitality and warm welcome 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will mark this milestone with a two-week revival from March 6 to March 18. The big celebration will be on March 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
