The following story appeared in the March 12 edition of the NCN Global News Summary:
San Diego pastor leading SoCal team in Haiti
San Diego, California
Antony Duclos, Haitian congregation pastor at the San Diego Mid-City Church of the Nazarene, is currently leading a group of Southern California District Nazarenes on a mission trip to Haiti. According to the church, Duclos has a "huge heart for missions" and has traveled to several countries with churches showing the JESUS Film. There are two congregations in Haiti that were started by him before he left to come to the U.S. that recently have become fully organized Nazarene congregations. The congregations were meeting under trees, but still number in the 200-300's.
A report from the church states these are churches that were further out and away from the epicenter of the earthquakes, however, many of these families lost loved ones - and most had children in school in Port-au-Prince when the tragedy happened. Not all have been located, many are still in need, and "Pastor Antony" is on a mission to reach them as well.
Several Nazarene congregations in California have participated in raising funds for the specific needs of these Nazarenes that Pastor Antony will be helping.

The Mid-City Church is a multi-congregation church with seven languages represented in seven different congregations united in one place serving together. For more on this church, see midcitynazarene.org.
