Haitian Church Brings New Life to Springfield

When Pastor Obed LaFaille moved to Springfield, Ohio, in early 2025, his mission was clear, plant a vibrant, Spirit-filled church to reach the city's growing Haitian population. In just months, the church has already welcomed an average of 25 people each week, with new faces coming regularly. A $1,109 God-Sized Vision Fund investment equipped the young congregation with vital tools for worship and outreach. Two large TVs on mobile stands, a new laptop, and a donated digital soundboard now make it possible to project worship slides in both English and Haitian Creole, breaking language barriers and uniting the congregation in praise. The investment also funded the production of connection and invite cards, empowering members to extend a personal invitation into the church community. With a sound system in place for the first time, the church is better positioned than ever to amplify the message of hope, both in Springfield and beyond.
