6:56 PM 5/4/2024
[received, 10:44 AM] To whom can I go but to the LORD?
Dear friends and family.
Pastor Jean Chery joined us today on our prison visit with second in-charge-Inspector Simplus and visitation Bible-prayer time cell by cell with all 850 prisoners. I am writing about the continuing desperate situation at the Les Cayes Prison, where more sickly prisoners are dying: 2 more yesterday; 1 more today. The situation is too hard. No pay for employees. Not enough food or wood & charcoal to cook with and they long ago ran out of propane to run their gas stoves. The tin roof is deteriorating and leaking on the top bunks.
Please pray with me for contributions of food and for the survival of these teens, women and men, some being held with no charges or have not been sentenced. No matter what happens we encouraged them 1Thes 5:16-18 Even in hard time in time of Jesus, they could rejoice if their faith was in God, calling on Him in prayer and finding things to thank Him for such as: life, Jesus Christ, food for today and a way to be with God forever by faith in Jesus Christ if they passed from this life. Our hope and help is in God. We must be right with God by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
In these hard times, they were willing to listen and pray with us. We also shared from Psalm 145 verses that thank and praise God. Some thanked us for coming.

Praise the Lord for a contribution for the Haitian Creole Bibles which, we should have for each cell in the next two weeks as well as English Bibles for 6 Jamaican and other English speaking prisoners. When we were there today another cell was having a Bible study but needed a rechargeable light because their cell is in a dark corner. We will try to meet that need. We encouraged them to take their many needs to the Lord.

We pray for God's deliverance from the scourge of violence affecting 10,000's who cannot protect themselves in Port-au-Prince. Is this a judgment on Haiti because of lack of justice in the prisons, lack of care of the fatherless and widows and those in devastating poverty as well as the prevalence of voodoo when God said,'you shall have no other gods,' and let Israel and Judah be destroyed for that betrayal of the one true living God? We know everything is in His hands.

Psalm 145:
v-1 "I will praise Thee, My God, O King; and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever.
v-2 Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever.
v-3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.

v-13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Thy dominion endures throughout all generations.
v-14 The LORD upholds all that fall and raises up all that be bowed down.
v-15 The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and You give them their food in due season.
v-16 Thou open Thine hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
v-17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways and holy in all His works.
v-18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. v-19 worship He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry; and will save them.

May God bless you as you seek to walk in His will. Mary Davis

email update for 4/27/2024, Saturday
=="Redeeming the Time because the days are evil." Eph 5:16

Dear friends and family,
How are you? I pray you are fine and blessed in the Lord.

Thank you for prayers for Haiti. I continue to pray for God's will in Haiti. I pray that would include stopping the violence in Port-au-Prince where they destroy people's homes, livelihood, hospitals, schools as well as rape, kidnap and kill these dear people whom God loves, Jesus died for and Holy Spirit would comfort, guide, and bring under conviction to be right with Him.
Praise the Lord, though difficult, we survive in other parts of Haiti. A destitute family of five came to live at the same house where I live. Hard situations just to survive have become harder. A mother of two was killed in Port-Au-Prince a couple of weeks ago. The two children were sent to a family of five in Les Cayes.

The prison of 850 detainees here in Les Cayes continues to need contributions of food. Some are dying of TB and lack of food. We contribute and try to visit every Friday to share hope of the Gospel and pray with them. We believe many are turning to the Lord in their dilemma. We encourage them to be right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, so that if they die, they would be with Him in His eternal heavenly place.
We have given hundreds of Gospel tracts and John and Romans We could not visit this Friday because the employees were protesting not being paid for many months. Supposedly, we can get back in next Friday.
So instead we had a meeting to discuss future prison ministry. The inmates have listened intently and requested Bibles. I propose to put a Haitian Creole Bible in each of the 19 cells at a total cost of $400.00. We are going to work on a budget for all 15 prisons in Haiti. One at a time as the Lord leads and Blesses.

And God has blessed with a partnership with Pastor Chavannas Jeune, former MEBSH president, former LIPAS president and founder of World Missionary Vision and also Global Mission of the Kingdom including 416 missions in Haiti and 27 countries. He has a heart for a prison ministry for all fifteen prisons in Haiti. Yes Praise the Lord.
If anyone wants to see what prison is like in Haiti Youtube has a documentary you could watch called Prisons from Hell: Haiti & Madagascar. I said at a meeting of Global Mission of the Kingdom, "If Haiti has the worst prisons in the world, we ought to try and do something about it."

So, we are still very involved in evangelism other than evangelism in the prison with at least 80 decisions there. In door to door and on the street we have distributed tracts and John and Romans and seen over 50 decisions this year, have distributed tracts for other churches to use in their evangelism and conducted seminars encouraging evangelism as God opens opportunities for us. We see that the situation in Haiti would not slow down God's work but inspire more.
Thank you for prayers, gospel materials and Bibles to distribute. May God bless us each, every one, Amen.

Enclosed is message from the Bible to inspire us and leaders of our country.
=====
“Not by Might, Not by Power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts” Zechariah 4:6
How the ruler of a nation leads that nation makes all the difference in the outcome for that nation.
Here we look at the heart of two kings which determined how they led their nation & their outcomes.
2Ki 17:1 “In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD..” In v-7-8 "For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods & walked in the statutes of the nations whom the LORD had cast out from before them.” In v-12 “For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.” In v-23 “..So Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day.”
In 2Ki 18:1-3. “Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.” v-4 “He removed the high places.” In v-5 “He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor were there before him.” v-7 “The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went.”
In v-13, In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. Hezekiah gave him of the treasuries of the king’s house and stripped the gold from the doors and pillars of the LORD’s house. Even so, the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem.
In 2Ki 18:19 Rabshakeh said, “Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, ‘What confidence Is this wherein you trust?’” v-32 “..Hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuades you saying, ‘The LORD will deliver you.’” v-35 “Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?”
In 2Ki 19:1, 6-7 “And it came to pass when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of the LORD. He sent Eliakim, who was over the
household, Shebna the scribe & the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth to Isaiah the Prophet, who brought word from the Lord, “Be not afraid of the words which thou has heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”
When the king of Assyria sent messengers with a threatening letter to King Hezekiah, v-14 Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD and prayed. v-19 “...‘Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech Thee, save Thou us, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.’” v-34-35 The LORD answered “‘For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’ And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians 185,000..”
At that time, we saw King Hoshea of Israel who led Israel in evil in the sight of the LORD taken in captivity by Assyria. We also saw Hezekiah, king of Judah lead the nation of Judah in what was right in the eyes of the Lord. also besieged by the king of Assyria, go in prayer and was delivered by God.
Proverb 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach (shame) to any people.”
In 2Ki 17:35-39 For God had said to Israel, “With whom the LORD had made a covenant & charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them.
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye do sacrifice.
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which He wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
The LORD your God ye shall fear; and He shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
==
This was a promise to Israel. But now, believers whether Jew or Gentile are made “one,” in the body of Christ. Eph 2:16 “And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body, by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.” with Christ as the head of the body, that is the Church (Col 1:18).
Gal 3:29 “And if ye be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” God’s promises of blessing are for all people whose heart is right with Him; people who have found Christ as Savior and live by a reverential fear in Him.
It doesn’t matter how much might or power that a leader of a nation or any person has. It is the spirit of his heart that matters to God.
1Sam 16:7 “..for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
Ps 34:18 “The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit (humble).”
James 4:6 “But He gives more grace. Wherefore He says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.”
1Pet 5:6 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.”
==“A person fully confident that he is able to do God’s work is often the one that fails to submit to God. It is the humble servant, fully dependent upon God, who succeeds.” Charles Stanley
Jude 20-23 “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
==[Witness the Gospel as you live pleasing to God] “And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear” [To the unsaved: Have they kept the Ten Commandments? If not, there is a penalty of eternal death.] pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted (defiled) by the flesh.”
==“Preach with this object, that men may quit their sins and fly to Christ for pardon, that by His blessed Spirit they may be renovated and become as much in love with everything that is holy as they are now in love with everything that is sinful.” Charles Spurgeon
God says about one whose heart is right with Him:
Psalm 91:14-16 “Because he has set his love upon Me,
therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high,
because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”

Why did Jesus have to die?

Can you imagine the disciples sadly celebrating their Passover that Saturday evening? They had had such hope for the future even in the midst of misery and uncertainty, the results of sin for all time through all ages. Is it any different now? Trama? Conflict? Violence? Divisions?
But Jesus had given so much hope. John 1:23 John the Baptist prepared the way. "He said, 'I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the LORD', as said the prophet Isaiah."
In John 1:29, when John the Baptist saw Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, He said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
In John 1:45 As Jesus was calling to Himself the first disciples, Philip found Nathanael and had said to him, "We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. v-48 Nathanael saith unto Him [Jesus], 'How knowest Thou me?' Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Before that Philip called thee, when thou was under the fig tree, I saw thee.' v-49 Nathanael answered and said unto Him, 'Rabbi,Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel.'"
In John 3:17 "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. v-19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."
In John 4:24 Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman, "God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. v-25 The woman said unto Him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when He is come, He will tell us all things. v-26 Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto you am He."
In John 6:48 Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life.'" Afterward many disciples were turning from Jesus and in v-67 "Then said Jesus unto the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' v-68 -69 Then Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.'"
John 8:12 "Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.'"
John 10:11 "I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." John 10:30 "I and My Father are One."
In John 11:25, Jesus said to Martha, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: v-26 And whosoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Blievest thou this? v-27 She saith unto Him, Yea Lord: I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world."
In John 12:13 When Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, "[the people] took branches of palm trees, and went forth and cried, 'Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord." Later in v-23 Jesus said, "The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified." v-24 "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." v-46-47 "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness. .. I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world."
In John 14:6, Jesus said,"I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me."
John 15:5 " I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides with Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for without Me you can do nothing."
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. IN the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
That Saturday evening was one of great grief and despair. What now? Why did Jesus have to die? It was so unfair; so terrible; so devastating.

They didn't understand yet. Why did Jesus have to die? To pay our debt for sin: Eternal death,which separates all mankind from a holy just yet loving God forever.
1Peter3;18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh.."
John 20:31 "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name."

Our God answers prayer[s]. We keep our faith in Him now and forever.
Thank you for prayers on behalf of Haiti.
Our Zoom meeting with Prison Fellowship International went fine even though the internet cut out 4 times.
Five members of Haiti: Evangelism in Action were there: Pastor Jean Chery, Pastor Wilfrid Prince, Brother and Mrs. Jacquelin Lessage and myself.
We go on to Phase 2 questions concerning the prison situation in Haiti which is poor.
We are to prayerfully consider and answer those questions.
We continue to contact other churches and missions in southwest Haiti to consider to participate.
Our goal is to bring prisoners to Christ for restoration of themselves & with their families so that they might not be criminals anymore.
This is no easy task in the poorest country in the western hemisphere, but our God is able. Praise the Lord.

Let's not forget to pray for Israel, God's chosen people. Gal 3:26 "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
v.29 "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Let's not forget to pray for revival in America. And revival comes from prayer. That is the only hope for America.
Proverb 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." Only God can forgive the sin of America if we repent of our sin and sincerely turn back to Him. Only God can turn things around for America in midst of judgment on our national sins of making law what is against the law and God's purpose of love and obedience to Him and love for one another. Money and prosperity is not a god that can save us from "the wrath of God to come".
It was God Himself who turned things around for Judah and Israel in the days of Jeremiah.
Israel had been taken into captivity by Assyria 135 years before Judah fell in the same sins of idolatry and was taken captive to Babylon in 586 BC. In Jeremiah 32:27, God answered Jeremiah's prayer, "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me? Jeremiah brought the news that Jerusalem would be destroyed because of the evil of the people, but God would again restore it in v-37-42: "Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be My people, and I will be their God:
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear Me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
And I will make an Everlasting Covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul."

What if we are in the time of the end and America does not repent and turn back to God?
Dr. David Jeremiah gives Christians, "The Church", some direction in His book, The World at the End.
Enclosed is a summary. I pray The Word of God enclosed would be a blessing and comfort as we live our fullest for the pleasure and glory of our loving, holy, just God who has everything under His sovereign care and justice.
Blessings and Comfort in Him, Mary

Charles Spurgeon: "When you are saved, the work is only 1/2 done until you are employed to bring others to Christ."

The protests have stopped for a while and children have returned to school after weeks of turmoil in the country. There does not seem to be any resolution from man's way of dealing with problems. They need to look to God to deliver them and bring food for the hungry, a decent economy and a healing of the land. Thank you for praying with us for God's perfect will for Haiti.

Thank you to all who have made contributions to us including those in memorial of my sister, Christine Lanyon.

What a blessing from God through you who desire to send us regular support to share the gospel in word and deed with the people of Haiti. Thank you. God blessed us more as we learned that another couple from Pastor Prince's church, Brother and Mrs. Altimo, want to join our ministry of "Haiti: Evangelism in Action" and go out on evangelism with us on our Tuesday and Thursday ministry days. Also, by the will of God we are developing a prison ministry for Fridays while we are continuing to confer with Prison Fellowship Ministries to develop a professional prison ministry with them for Haiti. We plan by the grace of God to meet with them in a zoom meeting Thursday morning at 11AM. Please pray that the internet will work for us then.Thank you.

Prov 29:18 "Where there is no vision the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." We have vision for Haiti : 1Tim 2:4 God "who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

Gen 24:27 "I being in the way, the LORD led me.."
Thank you for prayers for the hungry and poor of Haiti including 850 prisoners in overcrowded conditions in Les Caye Prison and in regard to the turmoil in Haiti.
But for the grace of God do we live like that.

Because of protests all over Haiti, blocking roads to shut down the country, we have not been able to do much.
Yet we can always pray and study God's Word and praise and thank Him for all His goodness to us.
The people are demanding that the prime minister, who apparently does nothing about the economic situation or violence, abdicate by Feb 7.
The people are tired of the way they have to live in this country in anarchy, with no apparent government or security, minimal available gasoline or propane for cooking which they need to make bread to sell. In Port-au-Prince, the capital there has been violence, killing, taking people's homes, kidnapping,
rape of women and highway robbery with weapons and tanks on the only road to Port-au-Prince escalating for over two years and
nobody does anything about it. This causes a shortage of needed supplies and very high prices of what is here.
Gasoline is 1000 goude or $8.00 a gallon. It's an evil scourge on the country. There is much suffering.
There also is much suffering in the prisons.
So I thank you for praying for an opportunity to bring a prison ministry to Haiti.
Dorestela Medina, Senior Regional Director of Prison Fellowship International, Latin America & Caribbean Region,
would like to consider to partner with us, "Haiti: Evangelism in Action" and with our network of pastors
in the southwest Departments of Haiti as a start to a national prisoner restoration prison ministry for Haiti.
We are in the process of answering introductory questions for their consideration.
When Pastor Prince and I visited the prison, we encouraged the 850 prisoners in approximately 16 cells not to give up hope,
but trust in God, to come to God His way, through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
One prisoner started holding a worship service in his cell. I believe God is answering our prayers.
We just need to be a vessel God can work through to bless others.

We pray for the situation in America too and God's sovereign will in our coming election.
Our God is in control! Here are some verses of encouragement:
Daniel 2:20-21 " Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His:
And He changeth the times and the seasons:
He removeth kings and setteth up (raiseth up) kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know (have) understanding."
Daniel 4:3 Nebuchadnezzar, Gentile king of Babylon said of our God: "How great are His signs! and how mighty are His wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation."
Psalm 145:13 "Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations."
17 "The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works."
18 "The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth."
19 "He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them."
20 "The LORD preserveth all them that love Him: but all the wicked will He destroy."
21 "My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever."
PTL. Your Sister in Christ,
Mary

Greetings family and ministry partners.
I do so thank you for prayers, expressions of sympathy and contributions especially those made in memory of my sister, Christine Lanyon, who passed into eternity Nov 6,2023. I was very blessed to spend Christmas with family in Fort Myers
and Gospel Baptist Church in Bonita Springs, Florida, and then a week with Pat Lanyon family in E Hartford Connecticut and
Truth Baptist Church in S Windsor, whom I praise the Lord for as they care for Pat, David and Joseph in their grief, as they grieve with them for the loss of a faithful servant and sister of the Lord there.
I returned to Les Cayes, Haiti Jan 25,2024.
I'm looking forward to visiting a closed church, reopened by Pastor Prince through evangelism in the area, with over 30 people accepting Christ
in that area and starting a discipleship class for them on Sunday.
We are continuing evangelism on Tuesday and Thursday and continuing to provide Encouraging Evangelism seminars, crusades, tracts, and
Bibles as well as setting up a regular day for prison ministry.
In the past we reported dire need in Les Cay prison of 850 people crowded in approximately 16-20 cells.
I felt led to contact Prison Fellowship for guidance and help.
This is the response:
==
Dear Christian friends,
My name is Mary Davis. I am from Mansfield Baptist Temple in Mansfield Ohio. After I went on a short term mission trip toTorbeck area SW of Les Cayes in South department of Haiti in 2013 & 2014, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, I was invited by a Haitian pastor-translator, Pastor Wilfrid Prince to continue to be involved in evangelism in Haiti. I prayed and said, "If God could use me here I was willing to come." Since June 4th 2014, we have since been involved in sharing the gospel, encouraging churches to have evangelism programs & ministering in crusades. As much as possible we have helped provide gospel tracts and bibles. We have seen over 5000 decisions in this time.

This past summer, Pastor Prince led his church, Assembly of Redeemed of Jesus Christ, in KaHouck in a ministry to feed the prisoners in the Les Cayes prison of 850 prisoners one time from a contribution from friends in America. They prepared the food and served it. We were not allowed to take pictures inside. But we saw the 850 prisoners crowded into approximately 16 hot cells. They rarely got food unless relatives provided the food or spent money for it. We found out they needed soap for bathing. Again we provided soap, toothpaste & brush and shampoo with gospel tract to all prisoners one time. If they need medical attention, they can see a nurse, but cannot have it until they can pay for it.
We are most involved in evangelism and saw some decisions there for Christ as we gave the gospel to every cell. However, even though we are not able to carry on a full prison ministry there, how could we just walk away? So I am looking for an ongoing prison ministry in Haiti, particularly in Les Cayes and advice on what to do in this dire situation. I have letters from 75 prisoners asking for help. Thank you for your consideration and direction as the Lord leads. Mary Davis In states through Jan 24 at 239-291-8362. Lord willing, the plan is to return to Haiti Jan 25th. Thank you.

Hi Mary,
God bless you and wish you a Blessed New Year. The PFI main office shared to the LAC RO team your information about the experience in Haiti. Is it possible to meet with you to talk about it? We would like to explore the opportunity to contact some prison ministry in Haiti to be Affiliated again. This county was part of PFI years ago, but the Executive Director moved to Canada and we lost contact with the other leaders of the Board.
Let me know your availability (day/time) and will send you a zoom invitation,
Grace & Peace,
