Ohio April 2014, I have been in Haiti for nearly 2 years with trips back to visit family every June and Christmas and will be back home this June. In Haiti, I have served God as an evangelist with Haitian pastor translator , Pastor Prince Jean Wilfrid sharing the “Bon Nouvel” house to house, hut to hut and in schools. God has so blessed us with over 400 decisions for Christ in 2014 and 400 in 2015. We speak in churches to encourage them in evangelism. It has been said that evangelism is “one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread.” Upon request we accompany the pastor to reach his community for Christ, to plant or build his church. We are presently doing this for church plants in Chantel and Ducis. We praise the Lord as we see the people who have made decisions with us attending church. In Chantel they were willing to sit on the ground until we provided them with pews. As we go we see the struggles of pastors and churches in Haiti and want to help them. We are also contributing to the start of a church in Bomand near Jeremie where there are no other churches in their area. The people are so excited with the start of the church there. When the church is finished they want to build a school for their children. With a US contribution of $320US we were able to contribute to the funeral cost of the pastor’s son in Bomand as well as to provide paint and cement for 3 other church restoration projects. Praise the Lord. Web: http://www.aprayernotebook.net/each1helps1/album/ With the theme of Haitians Helping Haitians, I am contacting US Haitian churches to help the Church in Haiti.

A pastor friend gave a church he founded to me in mountain [community] to "mother"[--probably to assist him in spiritual ministry.] 3/5 Dear Friends and Family, Last Saturday, Pastor Prince preached a fiery message, “I can’t stop thanking Him” which was broadcast on Radio Lumiere. On Sunday, a young mother abandoned a baby under a tree nearby and we have been caring for her this week; we call her ”Rose”. Also the church here has cooperated together to raise money and paint the church as a church family project. And yes, Pastor Prince and I do praise the Lord for decisions for Christ in 2016: January: 23; February: 44. We also thank Him for blessing us in travel by motorcycle, along the sea, over many rough roads, and into the mountains with safety and protection. We thank Him also for the many opportunities He has given us which include • to go with Pastor Olus, who is planting a church on the mountain side of Chantel where last week on a return visit, an elderly man received Christ; • to go with Pastor St. John, who is planting a church past Beraud and Ducis, in Castin where 11 children gathered to hear the gospel with the wordless book of colors, and accepted Christ; • for flexibility when Pastor Branche d’ Homme called and asked us to go on evangelism with him in Coteaux, along the sea, Tuesday to a very poor community where he was born, where 6 people including a married couple prayed to receive Christ and a family asked us to return next Tuesday, when they would be ready to make a decision; • and to go deep in the mountains to a church in Carré in Camp Perrin, in which the founder, Pastor Colbert of Beraud gave to me to “Mother” where on evangelism Wednesday with Pastor Hypolyte and 25 members, there was much witness and 10 young people prayed to receive Christ as their Savior. Praise the Lord, “We cannot stop thanking Him.” Please pray for the Church in Haiti and that many people will turn to God with their whole heart and want to share their most precious thing - their faith in Christ with others.
