Prepare





Pass through, pass through the gates! 
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!    
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.  Isaiah 62:10


This bridge was not here before they came. But when the people heard missionaries were going to come, they hauled rocks for miles, dropped them in the gully, and used concrete to pave the way for the travelers. Will you help them build up more roads so the gospel can reach Haitians?  Pray God raises a banner between nations by building more roads to remote places.

Leadership Conference

      The book of Hebrews in 3 days!  Could be like a drink from a fire hydrant.  Over 300 in attendance, representing 83 different churches from all over Haiti.

     37 attendees stayed at Bois Neuf, food was prepared for everyone in attendance by the volunteers and 16 young people helped with cleaning and logistics.

Hurricane Sandy disrupted the plans for many to come while 75 that were not registered showed up to fill in the void.

     Many homes were lost in the mountain area around Fond Baptist due to the hurricane and the current building at Bataille had it's walls washed away once again.  Looking to replace them now with metal roofing to hold things in place until the new building is completed.  Please pray for these folks as they once again gather the little they have and put up some type of shelter.
     Bouncing around here a bit, so, back to the conference.  A group stayed one extra night so Marcel took the opportunity to question them regarding what they had learned.  Easily they shared what was learned bringing much encouragement to Marcel.

Thank you for your prayers!

Abilities


“The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea.”  Acts 11:29

What are you good at?  Maybe you can paint a gate.  Maybe it’s being a doctor, or a farmer, or an electrician, or a teacher.  Maybe it’s sewing.  Your ability can be used by God to directly effect another human in Haiti.  Even if you can’t visit, you can sew shoe bags and fill them with supplies for the new school year.  Or you can send funds to make sure people have a mule for transportation.  Make it a challenge:  can you give a goat to a Haitian family this Christmas?  Be sure to check out the projects page for more ideas on how God can use you according to your ability at the Projects Page at the Hope for Haiti website.

The Story of Mize

Marcel shares a testimony and the lasting effects of a simple gesture.

In Luke chapter 10:25-37 a story or "Parable" is shared by Jesus.  Leaving us with a challenge to "Go and do likewise".  Here it is being lived out.

Watch for another testimony in the days ahead about Madame Philip.
