Family Tabernacle of Praise, Desarmes

The church Breath of Life is located in Desarme, Haiti. Desarme is locally known as the gateway to the Voodoo capital of Haiti. As you drive down the winding mountain road to get there you will see far more Voodoo temples than Christian churches. In fact the building that neighbors Breath of Life is a Voodoo temple.
The impact Breath of Life has had on its superstitious community has been profound. People who once let their lives be ruled by the fear of evil spirits and witch doctors are now experiencing true freedom in Christ. As the church grows the irrational superstition that governed the community is being replaced by God-given reason and sense. Farmers who once neglected to water their crops for fear of angering a spirit now are learning the way that God intended crops to be raised.

Already the church building is too small for it's parishioners and church services must be held early in the morning while it is still cool. For a time there was a Christian school meeting in the church building, however, because of the metal roof, the space it sheltered regularly became too hot for the children. Consequently, the school has been postponed until another structure (with a concrete roof) can be built.
