R.V.C, a Christian institution of reference in Haiti.

Rendez-vous Christ (R.V.C) is a network of churches and Christian institutions gathered under the leadership of Reverend Pastor, Dr. Julio Volcy. The network consists of campuses located in Delmas 75, Caseau, Jérémie, and Cap-Haïtien. RVC supports these churches and other Christian charitable institutions to fulfill its mission among the Haitian population. Rendez-vous Christ is preparing to celebrate its 9th anniversary on March 23. On this occasion, the church plans to visit prisoners, sharing the good news of the Gospel, eating with them, and offering other gifts.

Enlightened, Disciplined Leadership

One of RVC’s characteristics is its enlightened vision for the formation of effective Haitian Christian citizens. This vision is accompanied by an increased desire for discipline, which could even be described as a mannerism. At RVC, punctuality is key—it’s a way of acknowledging that Christianity does not prosper in indiscipline. Additionally, RVC believes in education as a tool for transforming mentalities, to create enlightened Christians who can be examples in intellectual, family, and economic spheres. It’s a way of saying that every Christian must first preach the Gospel through the example of their life and be a beacon of hope where the darkness of the world is most evident.

A Church That Believes in the Real Development of People

At RVC, all aspects of the human being are considered: spirit, soul, and body. The visible, mobile person is ready to invest in just causes. If we take care of the body while neglecting the soul, an unbalanced scandal will surface, and it will not be pleasant to see. Generally, this is why the church emphasizes offering care for all that makes up the human being. While the Christian should hope for heaven for their soul, their body must live well while waiting, and their spirit must be flourishing. RVC also distinguishes itself by believing that the Christian citizen has a voice in society’s affairs, including political ones, as Christian citizens are not disconnected from the rest of society. Their role is to improve society, not to avoid it with irresponsible attitudes.

A Church by Christians for Non-Christians

Rendez-vous Christ is characterized by its efforts to reach non-Christians in Haiti. Referencing the biblical version of Acts 15:19, where the author suggests not imposing burdens on new converts, RVC strives not to stigmatize people based on their clothing choices or whether they let their hair grow, or any other sign that might attract harsh judgments from traditional Haitian Christians. According to RVC’s leaders, the church is a place of healing for all kinds of people, both those with emotional wounds and physical ones.

Loving God, Loving People, and Making Disciples

Love is the cornerstone of Jesus Christ’s message. Anyone who wants to share it with others must be able to love and show it daily. Indeed, RVC aims to be a proud symbol in this regard, as it demonstrates its love by helping people in need. And it’s through the example of this love that the church manages to bring souls into the body of Christ.

A Modern Institution

Rendez-vous Christ is also characterized by its modern approach. Its strong presence on social media even allows it to have an online campus. Furthermore, RVC strives to offer services using the most effective tools to build the perfect atmosphere to strengthen Christians in their desire to worship God.

Youth Empowered

If there is one place in Haïti where power is shared equitably with the youth, it’s at RVC. From the moment you enter the Delmas campus, it’s clear. The church perfectly reflects the importance and significant demographic presence of young people, with many of them serving the church through various ministries (JAM for children, REVIV for teenagers, praise dance for those who want to dance…), which make up the evangelical religious institution.

The Republic of the Stateless?

Haïti is making headlines all over the world. And it’s not good news. The exploits of Haitians rarely generate so much interest, but we always tend to point out the excesses, spill ink to stir up thorns in the side, broadcast on loop to relay the chaos that is raging. There is hardly any media to make amends for the resilience of this cornered people. No one to highlight the fierce resistance that serves as fuel for this people hanging in the gorges of death. And what if it was to a certain extent the only way to talk about this country to finally attract attention? It is July 26, 2024. The Olympic Games have just started in France. The 33rd Olympiad of modern times. Without realizing it, according to Forbes Magazine, Haïti ranks among the ten nations with the best costume, proudly pointing to third place. At the same time, miles away from France, on “The Island of Skillfully Orchestrated Chaos,” Haitians do not even realize how much this recognition borders on irony. A paradox whose unpopular evocation is likely to greatly displease. An aerial image shows the city of Paris in all its splendor, illuminated like the gates of paradise, reflecting all the grandeur of France, all the magnificence it has acquired over the centuries, without forgetting the contribution of the blood shed by the horrible machine of colonization. I close my eyes, I go back in time, I see again this boy left to his own devices, lost without even knowing it, doomed to failure without even understanding it. And then there are the others. Boys in the same situation, or worse. Banished from society, they do not know what life has in store for them. They form the elegant class of the marginalized, in their quality of scoundrels, good-for-nothings, and thugs who spoil the splendor of society. This contrast challenges me, and I wonder for a moment if those who live the chaos from the outside grasp the stakes and the reality of the situation. Moreover, it seems to me that even the majority of Haitians living in the territory have no notion of the fundamental and essential aspects of the situation.
