Mary Davis 11/10 update...
Dear friends and family, With a heavy yet hopeful heart we send this notification that my sister Christine Lanyon age 74 has graduated precious into the presence of the Lord last Monday evening. We pray earnestly on behalf of her husband Patrick Lanyon and their two sons, David and Joseph for God's perfect comfort and will in their lives. God is good always and always knows what is best for His glory. We trust Him in it, faithfully until we join Him too. There will be a memorial service [correction: Saturday at 10:30am AND...-cpl] for [a family chat for] her on zoom 4928477679 next Friday evening from 6-9. Her life was a testimony of witness for the Lord that I pray continues in myself and all who knew her. PTL.

According to Luke 15:10 "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Can you imagine, when we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and one person repents and accepts Him as Savior and Lord, we bring joy into the presence of God? By the grace of God that is why I am in Haiti while my sister passed from this life into life everlasting. We took the devil's holidays, Nov. 1: All Saints Day and Nov 2: All Souls Day of the Dead, to share the gospel in Lasavann in Les Cayes. We have a report of 109 decisions for Christ. We continue to plan for evangelism for Nov 18: which recognizes the Battle of Vertieres Day, the victory over the French in 1803, inviting pastors in 18 cities in the south Department to participate and providing them with gospel tracts. May God bless, all to His glory. May the need for bibles or John & Romans be provided for new converts. An updated copy of The Love of God can Change the World for His Glory. Live it! Tell it! is bing prepared in English as well as Haitian Creole. Crusades are planned for Nov 26-29 in Delfosse and Dec 6-10 at Benches in Chantel area in the countriside and for Dec 14-19 on mountainside on way to Port Salut. The crusade for Lasavann postponed, hopefully, by will of God, will be a reality by the end of the year.

Enclosed is photo1 of my sister in younger days married, after 15 years as a single missionary [pat's note, her 18th wedding anniversary]; photo 2 evangelism on street; photo 3 Jacquelin witnesses; Photo 4 me sharing gospel & discipleship lesson to new convert, Pastor Prince is translating; Photo 5 Manette Francois from Pastor Prince church joined us in presenting the gospel.; Photo 6 Pastor Sirilhomme joined Pastor Prince to plan for evangelism on Nov 18 for block 2 in Les cayes. Living for His glory and joy in His presence. Your sister in Christ, Mary.

Mary's reply to her sister's 11-6 death notice.
Ps 116: precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints."
Pat, David and Joseph, My heart and prayers have been with you during this time and will continue to be so. Christine lived a good life honoring the Lord Jesus Christ, and indeed was an encouragement and inspiration to so many what more can we ask?
May God comfort your hearts as you adjust to her absence which is only temporary until we all meet again. May the Lord truly fill the void. Love Mary

Psalm 145:3 "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and your dominion endures through all generations."
Dear friends and family, Seeking in prayer, our God and His perfect will in all things dear to me and you. For me, it is my sister Christine in UCon Health/John Dempsey Hospital Hartford CT, since 10-13 to have a brain tumor removed 10-18 and then sedated still because of seizure activity etc. We pray for her to have restored health and body function according to God's perfect will.

In Haiti, our prayers are for the needs of Haitian people, that only God can meet: physical and spiritual hunger, violence in Port-au-Prince to stop, and lack of necessary foods & supplies to become available. Our God is able.

Please pray with us for our (national holiday) Nov 1&2 and 18 evangelistic ministry in all the South department, focusing on city of Les Cayes. We thank Fellowship Tract League and Equipping the Saints for gospel tracts and Bearing Precious Seeds for copies of John & Romans. We continue to make effort to acquire bibles in Haitian Creole language, though available in Port-au-Prince, limited by violence there. Many churches want to participate in the days of evangelism. Other churches are holding days of prayer and fasting for Haiti. Glory to God.

We distributed personal supplies in the Les Cayes jail 10-18 to 875 prisoners and gave the gospel. They were pleased to receive the items. With the presentation of the gospel many of them gave testimony of accepting the Lord. They asked us to return and we pray for guidance to do that. One we know of prayed to be released and he would get saved. God answered his prayer and the next week we met him on the street with no family or place to go. We referred him to Pastor Senat's church in that area where we hope to follow up. Thank you Agape Flights , Enviromow Landscaping, Pastor Prince & Church of the Redeemed of Jesus Christ and others that made that project a reality and God who bears the fruit.

Enclosed photos of Pastor Prince' church. 1. Preparing food for people in the jail; 2. evangelism in Les Anglais; 3&4 . Preparing to distribute 875 packets of personal items & tracts at the jail. We are not allowed to take pictures in the jail.

Mary's Lanyon Family Ps 91 share
Dear family, Psalm 91 for you:
1 For you that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, you that abide under the shadow of the Almighty:
2 Together we say individually of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: He is my God; in Him will I trust.
3. Surely He continues to deliver us from the snare of the fowler (trapper of birds), and from the noisome (deadly) pestilence.
4. He covers us with His feathers and keeps us under His wings; In Him is our trust always.
His truth is our shield; big or small all; He is all that we need.
5 Praise God, we can proclaim our faith and say: I will not be afraid for the terror by night; nor the arrow that flieth by night because My God is with me and says He will never leave me.
6 Because of His presence, we can say, neither will I be afraid of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 We see a thousand fall away at our side and ten thousand at our right hand; but not us, as we keep our eyes on our God.
8 Only with our eyes do we see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our life, receiving the Most High as LORD, as our refuge, our habitation:
10 There shall no evil befall us nor any plague come nigh our dwelling.that He in His wisdom does not permit.
11.For our God shall give His angels charge over us, to keep us in all our ways.
12 They shall bare (lift) thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder (cobra): the young lion and the dragon (serpent) shalt thou trample under foot.
14 Lovingly, God tells you: Because you set your love upon Me, therefore will I deliver you:
I will set you on high because you hath known My name.
15 When you call upon Me, I will answer you: I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you and honor you.
16 With long life will I satisfy you and show you My salvation. Praise the LORD.

I know God is your strength at this time. Please keep me informed. Thank you. I love you all and am praying God's perfect will for you all. Love Mary

Isaiah 43:1,7 "..Fear not for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name: Thou art Mine. Even every one that is called by My name:for I have created him for My glory. "
Heb 13:5-6 "Let your conversation (conduct) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
There was not any sign of the turmoil that prevails in Port-Au-Prince, evident between the PAP major airport & Sunrise airways that had flights all over the country. Absolutely no problems getting into Haiti and flying out to another department of Haiti. PTL.
Pastor Prince and church have been working on packaging 1000 personal needs products to distribute in the jail, and then to other places of need including Pastor Senat's school in ElSavann, a very poor area of Les Cayes where prayerfully we would have a crusade next week. Thank you for your prayers and all who contributed to extend God's love in these areas..
Enclosed is a photo of preparing Needs packages including a Gospel tract.. We pray God's perfect will in all things. May He Bless you as you live faithful to Him. Mary

Encouragement in hard times
Dear friends and family, We pray for the people of Israel. This is our world. How do we respond? As we thank God for every blessing He gives Us.may we be more committed to live pleasing to Him.
God has blessed me to read Dr. David Jeremiah's book, The World of the End: How to live according to the priorities Jesus taught. Enclosed is a report of that book that blesses me as I go on to Haiti leaving tomorrow, and God willing, to arrive Friday afternoon.and may it bless you as well. Thank you. Mary.

Jesus said, "Follow me". Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the Gospel of God."
==Praying for you, America, Haiti and every place God has sent His witness in these times. God has showed me the poverty of Haiti and how could I ever turn my back on them. People ask me if I am going back to Haiti in the midst of the turmoil in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. I have prayed about it and I have plane tickets for Oct 13. May God bless.. Our shipment of personal items for the prisoners in the jail as well as others in need is being shipped this coming week also.Our evangelism team & the Association of Protestant pastors is making plans for a crusade in the LaSavonn area of Les Cayes for October 17-21
Luke 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Evangelism continues in the countryside of SW Haiti.I pray God in the lives of these people will make a difference in their lives and in their country.

Mary's July 14th Report

"It is of the LORD's mercy that we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not."

Saturday June 3rd we celebrated the life of the founder of our evangelism group, Haiti Evangelism in Action, Pastor Emilio Voltaire.
Photo 1: He was given national honor with the Haitian flag placed over his casket.
This is nothing compared to his presence with the Lord Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints."

Leg Swollen And Foot Blood Clot!
So I have been in the USA in Florida visiting family and doctor appointments. God is good.
I had an orthopedic appointment for knee injections just 2 days before the authorization ran out.
I arrived with a swollen leg. That doctor sent me for an ultrasound to check for a blood clot.
They found a blood clot from my foot to my waist & sent me to the hospital.
They did a procedure to remove most of it & put me on a blood thinner.
My knee treatment was postponed until August when I am also scheduled for eye surgery.
A test for an abnormality showed decreasing calcification since last year.
The doctor said that in 20 years, only twice did he see a decrease without treatment.
So PTL. I know all things will work out in God's perfect timing.
Evangelism In Action Continues
Evangelism continues in Haiti with Pastor Jean Chery as president of Haiti Evangelism in Action.

Pastor Prince oversees our evangelistic work. Photo 2: Pastor Prince & family.

Photo 9: This is the church we are helping to rebuild after the August 14 2021 earthquake as funds are available.

Photo 10: In this area I led this lady to the Lord.Thank you for your part in the ministry of God.

The People In Haiti

The people in Haiti struggle to have food while we have plenty at our fingertips.
I would love to develop a means to distribute food through this church to those people.
If anyone has suggestions, perhaps God can use that to meet that need.
Thank you for your prayers & support for people around the world for whom God has sent His people to minister to, including Haiti.

Pray for Haiti.

Unbearable heat day & night & [a] Sahara dust storm heading toward Caribbean & Florida.

Lam 3:22-23 "..His compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness."

Love & Prayers, Mary.

July 14 Report (Take This LINK)

Mary Davis Reports: May, June 2023

May 18,2023: Pastor Emilio Voltaire went home to be with his Lord.
2Cor 5:8 "..absent from the body present with the Lord."
He, like Paul could say to us left behind:

2Tim 4:5, 7-8 "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all who love His appearing." PTL.

Pastor Emilio Voltaire, born Dec 5, 1961, saved in 1979, 1 week later was chosen to teach Children's Bible Class. He continued through 2014 when he had a children's conference in January. He brought in, taught & fed 2500 children.
Pastor Emilio loved young people and knew they were the hope for the future.
In February, 2022 instead of [the] wickedness of Carnival Days, he offered them a Youth conference. Photo 1-3 below.



Pastor Emilio has been involved in evangelism in the Les Cayes area & has planted 34 churches. For three years he led the ministry of Evangelism Explosion in the major cities of Haiti. He and his wife Amosa Cherisard also were leaders in Samaritan Purse Ministries for Children. They have led many to the kingdom of God.

Pastor Emilio Voltaire, even though he was paralyzed, served as
President of the Ligue des Pasteurs du SUD (South Department of Haiti) LIPASH,
represented the Fellowship of Haitian Evangelical Pastors of New England, USA and
has led in the 2018 founding of the League's Evangelism Commission
to promote evangelism & discipleship in the South Department .

The Evangelism Commission, under the name he chose,
Haiti: Evangelism in Action includes the leadership of
1)President: Pastor Jean Chery (Director of Evangelism for MEBSH ) 56 years in Evangelism;
2)Vice President: Pastor Gerald Carisme, 1990 founder of
Pechurs D' Ames d' Haiti (Fishers of Men/Women of Haiti), 33 years in evangelism;
3)Secretary: Pastor Jean Wilfrid Prince, 24 years in evangelism;
4)Treasurer, Madam Pastor Amosa Cherisard Voltaire, 44 years in evangelism;
5)Mary Davis. 30 years in evangelism; and
6)Pastor Emilio Voltaire, founder with 44 years in evangelism has led the way.

This was an intervention of God. PTL.

A Seminar on Encouraging Evangelism was held in all 20 cities of South Department &
in special days of evangelism: Nov. 1&2 and Nov. 18, 2022.
1500 decisions were reported in the South Department of Haiti.
Over 100,000 gospel tracts from the USA have been distributed.
In 2023, 1000's are reached by crusades. PTL.
Below are photos 4-5 of Pastor Emilio at
Valere Crusade April 23-30 sponsored by LIPASH.

Pastor Emilio called a meeting to plan the next crusade in LaSavann, just 1 week before he died.

At an interview, Pastor Emilio said, "Evangelism is like a really good food;
the most important thing in the ministry. Churches couldn't have people if they didn't have evangelism."
Pastor Emilio Voltaire will be greatly missed in the "Church" in Haiti.
We thank the Lord for the grace He showed in the life of His great servant, Pastor Emilio Voltaire.
May we be faithful to God, in the work of God until He calls us home "absent from the body present with the Lord.".
— One of His, Mary Davis

May 10, 2023 Email Our Great God has a Plan: What a privilege to take part in it!
Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement which are of great support and encouragement to us all. I thank the Lord for the grace He has given you as great warriors of prayer and encouragement which are immeasurable in kingdom ministry. May God continue to bless you always.
Please pray with us, as Pastors and leaders are praying and planning for a crusade in LaSavann, intercity area of Les Cayes for May 25-28 2023.
    Please pray for Haiti --As the gangs and corruption with kidnaping & rape are spreading from Port-au-Prince to around the country including Les Cayes, we see that Haitians watch for any strangers coming into their neighborhoods and report them to the police. Haitians are standing against the gangs and corruption with the police. It is an ongoing concern and reality. We pray for God's perfect will here, for the hungry people to find food in a legitimate way and for needs of Haitians to be met as they turn to God for their needs to be met, not the gangs.  
As it is so hot in Haiti during the summer, I go to Florida to visit family and for doctor appointments June 2, then Ohio mid-July and August for fair evangelism, etc. As more Christian Haitians want to be involved in crusade evangelism in Haiti, we pray for them to carry on by the grace of God, We will see what God will do for them & through them. Amen.  
1Cor 1:18 "For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the power of God."
Enclosed is [a] copy of [the] result of [a] study & crusade message God has given me.

Email 4/26
Dear family and friends: This study has so touched my life, I wanted to share with you.

I. The Law: Genesis-Deut: A Fall Gen 3:6, A Promise Gen 3:15 and God gives us His plan of Redemption Gen-Rev.

II. The History of Israel reveals the Plan: Joshua-Esther: We were in trouble and God wants to help us find our way back to Him.

III. In spite of everything we go through, God is our wisdom and hope: Job-Song of Solomon

IV. The Prophets get us ready to hear from God's Coming Son: Isaiah-Malachi. The Prophets knew mankind missed Holiness. They offered hope by purifying judgment, repentance, holiness, then joy, beauty and true relationship with God.

V. New Testament Gospel: Jesus Christ, God's Son introduces us to His Kingdom: Matthew-John. It is the abundant life of holiness: Knowing God as your Supreme Treasure and relating to Him and others lovingly.

VI. We are the Chuch: Learning community living through God's true love: Acts-Jude

VII. God keeps His promise of Happiness forever with Him as He brings His Kingdom to Earth and then to a new earth, new heaven and new Jerusalem with Him forever everlasting.: Revelation

There are things we would like to be different but Praise God who is sovereign over all.
Praise God as we pray for each other, we know our God answers according to His glory and our ultimate good. We can live by faith and confidence in Him. While things are not so much better in Haiti as I last reported, but because our God is still on the throne, I rejoice in Him and the opportunity to praise His name. PTL.

Lord willing we start our first crusade tomorrow near Paster Prince church in KaHouck in Torbeck area. 40 members around Haiti of a mission group called Jamica are supposed to be coming in. The ladies of Pastor Prince church have been preparing a meal for them. Church members have been cleaning the area and building a stage for the crusade. Technicians have been preparing to use the sound system, [a] first time for us. Please pray with us that all goes well and many people would make decisions for God.

I have enclosed an updated 5 page message God has given to encourage people in evangelism to also include a lesson in discipleship. It is a culmination up to now of insight God has given. We plan to offer this teaching later during the crusade during the day for all those who make decisions. I have this prepared in Haitian creole language also to distribute. Please tell me what you think. Is this understandable? My thought is to publish it to have income for our Haiti mission. I appreciate any help with that. There are 4 points: A-D; Numbers 1-12 are 12 Baptist foundational truths every Christian should know well. Bold Points with an asterisk are Discipleship points. We also have 16 page with 16 Discipleship Lessons for churches to use prepared by missionary Rodney Fitzsimmons. If we go to speak at a church, we may only go once so I want to share as much insight [as] I can of the love of God and how to live pleasing to Him, by the grace of God, that is worth believing and telling others.

Thanks for your consideration and input. Rev 12:11 "And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Praise the LORD for Victory in our Lord Jesus Christ. Your sister in Christ, Mary Davis
