On March 15, 1951 an angel came to earth in the form of Sassufie Nicolas. She was born to the late Nicolas Paul and Viergela Jean Louis. She was the third of their six children born in Desdunes, Haiti. After her mother passed away, she worked the farmland and rice fields for her aunt Lamercie Nicolas. She used her money and entrepreneurial spirit to help raise her younger twin sisters and her brothers’ children (this earned her the nickname “Veye”) prior to immigrating to the United States.
Sassufie immigrated to America in 1982, where she lived with her brothers and their family.
In the early 2000s she converted from Catholicism to Pentecostal. She started her journey at Haitian Church of Christ of the Fellowship under the leadership of the late Rev. Pierre Paul and Sr. Paul Ambroise. Thereafter, under the leadership of Bishop Himrod Ambrosie she continued to serve as a Deaconess, usher, choir member, and more.
