South Florida Project

This is a story of two Haitian-Americans who are taking a leap of faith to bring the Gospel to a people and a place in need.

Andy and Deborha Vital met in church as teenagers and have been serving in ministry ever since. What began as a friendship built around a shared love for Jesus, people, and the local church became a lifelong partnership in ministry. From youth ministry, to outreach, to missions they spent their entire adult lives helping others encounter the hope and power of the gospel.

After years of faithfully serving in New Jersey, God began stirring their hearts for something new—something that would require them to leave everything familiar. Sensing a clear call to reach the emerging generations of the Caribbean and Latin diaspora, Andy and Deborah followed God’s voice and moved to Florida sight unseen, trusting that obedience would open the door to a new move of God.

Now, living in the heart of South Florida—the largest hub of the Caribbean and Latin diaspora in the United States—they see the perfect intersection of calling and opportunity. Their vision is to plant a life-giving, Spirit-filled church that reaches this generation with the gospel, creates belonging across cultures, and builds a home for those seeking purpose and community. They believe that what God started in the Northeast has been transplanted here to bear fruit in new soil. Together, Andy and Deborha are believing for a move of God that will awaken hearts and help people without purpose to find meaning in Jesus all across South Florida.
