It’s with broken hearts that the Board of Directors of Haitian Christian Ministries announce that Pastor Emmanuel (Manno) Laguerre passed away Mon. Feb 23, 2015 in Miami, FL.
Pastor Manno’s Health:
In October of 2014, Pastor Manno suffered stroke like symptoms and was rushed to the States for further medical testing. The original diagnosis was cysticercosis, a parasitic infection. Pastor Manno was treated and then released back to Haiti in late November and was able to participate in HCM’s 30th anniversary celebration on January 11, 2015. A few weeks after the celebration, Pastor Manno suffered a relapse and was flown to the states again. Due to the severity of his re-lapse, Manno was checked into the Emergency Room in Miami, FL. After several days of testing, a new potential diagnosis emerged. Growths were found on Manno’s adrenal gland and on his lung. After further testing, there was some discussion that Manno might have had an aggressive malignant cancer which had metastasized and spread to his brain. It caused bleeding and swelling on his brain as well as other complications. An autopsy will help definitively conclude what happened. Ultimately, God called his faithful servant home today surrounded by his wife Prisca, and his three children Judith, Julie and Patrick.
