April is a special month in the life of believers as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior on Easter. He has defeated death, wiped us clean from sin, and brought us into eternal life with Him!
When Jesus was on the cross, he said “It is finished” and then he “bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30). The work of salvation was completed on the cross. There is nothing for us to add to it. We now live in obedience and service to the Lord because of what he’s already done, not because it can save us. May this truth free you to serve the Lord with joy and gladness, knowing that life is for Him and about Him, because He was willing to die for us.
“Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.”
~Romans 6:8-11

The Vine has started their last term for the school year. We are so proud of the students and their progress this year! They have learned skills and knowledge that will help them uplift their communities and one day pursue great career opportunities. More importantly, they have received the spiritual growth and knowledge of Jesus to truly change Haiti for the glory of God.
