✨ Tabernacle Youth Reconnect (TYRE)
Honoring Legacy. Rekindling Fellowship. Serving Haiti.
Founded in April 2021, TYRE brings together nearly 30 former youth group members from our home church in Haiti. What began as a tribute to Pastor Esperance and Sister Marianne Julsaint—whose teachings shaped our lives—quickly became a movement of reconnection and purpose.
Since then, we’ve donated $5,200 to support local education and church initiatives, and we continue to show up for our community through acts of kindness and solidarity. We believe that even small gestures, offered in unity, can spark transformation.
Together, we serve with joy, remembering that God uses willing hearts to bless generations.
Église Baptiste du Tabernacle (Tabernacle Baptist Church) - the journey
An Acrostic Poem by Brother Joel Dort
This original French poem was written by our brother in Christ, Joel Dort, as a heartfelt tribute to our former church, Église Baptiste du Tabernacle. Each line begins with a letter from the word TABERNACLE, forming an acrostic that reflects the spirit and memories of our youth.
We’ve included a simple English translation below, and invite you to read the original French version on our [French page].
There, we gathered—young and old
All at the feet of those who taught us
Bold biblical truths that stirred our hearts
Enthusiastic, never weary
Resilient, full of youthful vigor
No obstacle could shake our fellowship
Amazing were the times we shared
Cherishing tender moments together
Learning wisdom’s principles
Experiencing unforgettable days of youth
