July 21, 2025 — Birthday of a Leader Serving the Haitian Community.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti, July 21, 2025.— This Monday, July 21, 2025, Haiti celebrates the birthday of one of its most committed sons: Dr. Julio Volcy, pastor, educator, social builder, and tireless advocate for Haitian youth.

Far from the political spotlight and empty rhetoric, Julio Volcy chose to celebrate life by giving it to others. And on this symbolic day, an entire country—from the pews of his church to the forgotten streets of the capital—pays tribute to him for his work, his loyalty, and his boundless heart.

Born in Montagne-Noire in modest circumstances, he could have resigned himself. He preferred to dream. He could have left Haiti for good. He chose to return, driven by a clear calling: to serve. Today, as he enters a new phase of his life, an entire generation of transformed young people, supported families, and reconciled communities bear witness to his impact.

July 21 is not just a birthday; it is an opportunity to highlight the living legacy of a man who, every day, builds a bridge between faith and action, between words and commitment. Through Rendez-Vous Christ Church, Haiti Teen Challenge, Hope Outreach International, the Love and Solidarity Fund, and so many other initiatives, he has proven that Christian leadership can be spiritual, social, and profoundly human.

Today, as the good wishes pour in, the messages of encouragement multiply, and the heartfelt thanks are expressed, we join all those celebrating the life of Dr. Julio Volcy.
