Delmas 75 House
What is the Delmas 75 House?
The vision for the house was first casted in Janruary of 2015. As the right people were brought together, the vision and possibilities for the utiliization of the house has continued to grow. After much presistance in prayer the house was made possible as the funding for the rent of the home came in. Starting on May 15th, 2015 our brothers and sisters in Christ moved in to initiate the vision. The house has two floors and each floor having all the living necesitites. The top floor is occupied by current residence that are long term international missionaries, functioning as an apartment and the lower floor is housing for current residence that are local Haitian missionaries, functioning as living space, a place for short-term international missionaries to stay, and open ministry space. The heart of the home is for creating unity in the Body of Christ, oppurtunity for locals, and a safe place for locals, believers and non-believers, to encounter God's love through His power by His Spirit.

The Residence
Dom Pierre
Domingue Pierre (born 29 October 1989) born in Port-au-Prince Haiti; a preacher, teacher, and a business-man.
From 2010 to 2015 God has done lots of things in my life; he’s been cleaning me from the inside out. He is making me the person he wants me to be - so thanks my precious Jesus.He made me see different, think different- to go back in 2010 we had a catastrophe earthquake here in Haiti. More than 300,000 people passed away and then God used that moment to move me along with many other people like me.
Before the earthquake I use to mess around with God, I did what I wanted to do, serve him the way I wanted. Then the earthquake came and I didn’t really know what it was in that moment, the only thing I had in my mind was crying out for Jesus to help and He did help and started talking to me in a different way. Man, during that day, I realized that I was not a Christian and in need of a savior to save me and without hesitation I said, “Lord I Surrender my life and give you all, I’m ready for anything you ask me to do and I will do it.” He told me to go to a bible study and he definitely opened the door for me to go. I spent one year in it and he taught me how to preach and teach. Then I became a preacher and a teacher. I continue to see how my life is being transformed. I see clearly, he has been so good to me. I thank him for everything he has done for me, praising him every single day in my life because he is the one God. I would be gone without Him because I didn’t know where I was or what.

This is my roots.
I was born in 1991 and my parents did not marry. One day they decided to separate from
any relationship but life went on for me.
Because of my parents division it infected my whole life, as well as my
three brothers lives. I remember
my mother would do some of the lowest jobs back then just to provide us food. I did not have a place to stay and my
mom would drop me into different places and people would take advantage of me
or abuse me physically or verbally.
All of this pain, confusion, and frustration, had its roots in the fact
that my parents were not there for me.
In Haiti our culture bases its religion in voodoo. It is a very demonic religion and almost
my whole family on-either side, Mom and Dad, came from and upbringing in
voodoo. Almost 100 percent of my
family members practice voodoo so because of this Christianity is very low in
my family. I praise God cause He
is using me as light among them. I
remember my grandma on my Dad’s side, she would take with me in voodoo temples
as a child. But I praise God cause
during those times He did not allowed anything wrong to happen to me. I still had not come to the Lord during
these times. It wasn’t until the
earthquake we had in Haiti on 2010\01\12.
God had used that event to reveal Himself to me. I remember I went to some friends of
mine house to have some friendship conversations about our future and all of a
sudden God’s spirit told me to go home and I did. Two minutes after I got home the earthquake hit. One my friends passed away and the others
had some terrible injuries. Then
this is when I realized God loves me and I began crying out for forgiveness
over all of my sins and God forgave me.
I became a new creature in Christ Jesus.
After that I got baptized and I have been following the Lord
since. Each day I praise the
Lord. I went to a bible seminar
for one year and there I learned more about God’s word. Over the past years I have seen and
believe His promises. The word of
God is powerful, by being in God’s word it has changed my whole life, praise be
to Him. He makes all things work
together for our good; the Lord is awesome!
Now what I do is I share Jesus Christ with folks to let them
know how much God loves them and that He has a plan for
them.
Thanks ………

I was born on December 13th 1985 into a
Christian family. I was baptized on
July 17th 2007 and I’ve been walking with The Lord since in my
childhood. My family is composed
of 3 sisters and one brother. I’m
single and never married before. I’m
a student in Diplomacy and International Relations, and I’m an interpreter. I’ve been to a bible training school
for one year at Cross to light ( CTL ) and I took a class online from WBS (
World Bible School ). I’m a
sportsman, I play soccer, basketball and I do martial arts…! I like being around young adult and
kids because this is the calling God has given me but I also like to evangelize.
Here is more about my life so you know where I’m coming
from.
I live in a small hood in P-A-P where people are found practicing
voodoo and when my family just got to this small hood it was terrible, coz my
country is based in voodoo. They
believe in witchcraft, and I used to have a lot of demons following me and a
lot of persecution. I even almost
passed away on the day of December 24th, 2005. And I remember in 2010 a terrible
earthquake (Goodoo Goodoo) that’s the name we Haitians gave it. I remembered I came home from school
and I felt a headache so I laid down on my bed. It was while I was taking a nap that I received a call from
a friend of mine and I got up and left for her place. When I got to her house I sat down and began talking with
her……..all at once I felt the place where I sat down move and shake. I did not have a clue what it was…..when
I got back to my senses all I could see was blood all over me. There was a wall of bricks that fell
down on us and I there were wounds on my head, shoulders, and arms. I did not find out what it was until I
found my family and my mom told me it was an earthquake, but thanks to God I
was the only one injured in my family.
My family and I made it through, God had saved my life that day. Praise the
Lord he saved my life and that’s why I want to give Him my life and be a vessel
for Him, to share and tell people who He is and what he has done in my life. That’s just a little testimony but that’s
my life, Jesus receiving the glory. For the rest of my days I want to follow Him and be
with Him in glory.

Dena
Maria who has been resident in Port Au Prince since August 2013, actively
involved in Haiti since 2010 & with a long term call to the nation, with
the same Kingdom mandate as EPIC. Dena is a seasoned missionary (Mexico,
Brazil and Haiti) partially financially supported by two California churches.
One of her primary goals is to initiate the first Healing Rooms under the
International Association of Healing Rooms IAHR) in Haiti. She is well
connected in the local church, Ex-Pats and several other arenas’ as well as in
California and the UK. She currently works as a teacher in a private Christian
school to supplement her support. She has a degree from BIola University in
Organizational Leadership and an extensive business background.
After much research, prayer and discussion
several areas of potential collaboration became clear and a base ministry house
opportunity has presented itself. EPIC needs a base to house small teams when
they visit and from which to function locally; the Pierre brother’s to occupy
and maintain the premises and oversee the team needs. Permanent living
accommodation & preferably an on-site venue to start the Healing Rooms are
Dena’s current requirements. Ideally this needs to be in the community in which
relationships have been nurtured and trust built up over the past five years.
