Meeting House Construction Progress

We had a work team from Cornerstone Dunkard Brethren for 10 days. We enjoyed working together, visiting church families, and relaxing at the coast. We thank Almighty God for their blessing on our church family in Jimani.

Jesus Film 2013

This year has started of with three Jesus Film showings in the last three months. The first one was on the town of Lastik on February 26th. We were excited to have a team of 10 young men from Ontario along with us.   

The second showing Mike organized with Charlo in a church in Thoman on Good Friday.

We give a huge thanks to Chris Baker at Victory of Compassion for giving us a large outdoor projection screen.

 And the third showing was last night in Balizaj.

This showing was organized specifically for Legliz Betel's weekday children's club but all of the congregation was invited to participate.

Five of our enthusiastic friends came along to help with the showing. Pray that God would continue to raise up more Godly young men lie these as leaders for His Church. 

John and Maria Loewen (Hannah's Parents) talking with Willie one of the leaders of the church in charge of the children's club.

Maryann brought little Veronika along.  

Overall theses showings have been a blessing to many people throughout the communities its shown. help us continue to pray for the hearts and lives of those we show it for. And also for provision and strength as we continue to show it to the many communities still requesting us to come.

May the hearts and souls of men in every nation continue to worship our God and His son Jesus Christ. 

Results of Revival

Last week we were truly blessed by the revival services we had here. Starting Monday night Aaron opened with some thoughts of "Remembering our Creator in the days of our youth."
Phil Gish gave powerful messages from the book of Romans through the week nights, finishing up Sunday morning with a message to the fathers and their role in the home.


Tuesday thru Thursday night Kurt Rolle opened with many good thoughts from the Word of God. Starting the first night out with the importance of appreciating the parents God has given us.

It was a blessing to watch Phil and Wismith work together. Wismith did a wonderful job of translating the messages to his people at a level they could understand.

For us as missionaries, to hear these messages in our own language was truly living water to dry and thirsty souls. God is the fountain of life of which to draw from. Sometimes, it seems we allow ourselves to dry up and need that continual refreshing that only He can pour out. For the Haitians, they were eager as they learned new insights from the gospel. They appreciated hearing from somebody that didn't even know the struggles they face every day and yet understood what their real need was.

Their were different singing groups throughout the week. Here Jayla, Kenslie, and Jonathan Rolle sing "In Christ Alone"

Andy Eversole got to live out his dream this last week-to give devotions in Creole. He led out Friday thru Sunday as he stepped right up there into the culture and shouted, Alleluia!  and other greetings in the Creole language. He had good feedback from the Haitians as they listened.

One day last week, we got to finish a fencing project around the little village in Le Roux. Here is where we learn to work together. It takes many believers working together, all using their different gifts, for one common goal. Helping people see their need for Jesus and helping them along the journey.

It was rewarding to see a couple people come up after service to dedicate and rededicate their life to the Lord. Pastor Voltaire prayed with them and then allowed them to share their heart.

Thanks for your prayers thru this last week. Continue the prayers.

Pray for the believers, that they will take what they have learned and apply in their lives. .
And that they would have a passion to have a closer relationship with their Savior.

Pray for the ones that spoke. That Satan would not make them have doubts or in anyway throw fiery darts at them.

Pray for the missionaries here, that we would have a greater desire to love souls and that we would be willing
to do whatever He asks of us to further His kingdom. 

Work Team from Canada

We were blessed to have a work team here from Canada. We thank God for the blessing they were to us, the mission, and the Haitian people. Here are a few pictures of the work we did.

Building fence at the Earthquake Housing Project.

Lots of the people from the village liked to try to talk to the team while we took break.

Some of the children loved to help.

Some of the people from the village helped too.

Shea and Dale built cabinets for Wismith's house.

They finished the cabinets outside and then brought them back in at the end of the day.

 The beautiful cabinets. The wood for the cabinet face is from the mahogany trees that drowned in the lake behind the mission house.

Building a door frame for the children's home.

The new stairs to go to the second story of the children's home.

 Painting the surgery room in the hospital with an epoxy paint. Very strong stuff. The fumes almost knocked us out.

These are the old outhouses for the school and church. With more than 700 people a day using them, the odor is terrible.

Mixing concrete to pour the floors in the new bathrooms.

Plumbing for the new bathrooms

Learning to put on the slick Haitian finish.

 Boss Christen finishing the concrete.

 Putting the colored powder into the finish.

We were blessed by this team from Canada. The members of the team were blessed to see the work the mission is doing and to see how different Haiti is from Canada. We trust that God used their time in Haiti to open their eyes to mission work around the world.

Jesus parting words before he left this earth were, ""Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15 NKJV) Are we preaching the Gospel by Word and Deed?
