Praise God!  His Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone be in Christ, he is a NEW creature; old things have passed away; Behold all things have become NEW. V-18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. v-19 That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. v-20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. v-21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him." Good News - But how would you know it without a copy of the "Good NEWS" - the Bible? In Haiti 50% of the people can not read. But there is a NEW generation educated, who can read and need a Bible in their own language. Please pray for Haitian Creole Bibles and NEW Testaments for believers and sincere inquirers, so they could understand their salvation in Christ and restored relationship with God and the privilege and responsibility that goes with it - to live for Him and tell others.  It is the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ that only can change the world for good. Live it Tell it - for the glory of God. If it is the will of God we will get His Word there. Go, make disciples baptize them and teach them. We can help make "all things NEW for the poorest people in our part of the world. As NEW creatures in Christ, we go, make disciples, baptize, and teach them about a NEW life in Christ. Thank you for your prayers.  Mary4Haiti.  Attached Photos: I could not find Bibles or New Testaments in Haitian Creole for sale in book stores or Baptist Mission in Haiti, but I purchased Gideon New Testaments in the common market to distribute to a pastor for church members who did not have a Bible . "God will make a way, when there seems to be no way", because He makes all things NEW. May God richly bless you. ___________ The photos will be up loaded as /SUNP1034.JPG and /SUNP1032.JPG viewable as those filenames in the each1helps1 root directory - cpl 01/29 Mary Davis’ Haiti Ministry Report January 29, 2019 Bridal Garments Promoting Haitian Marriage Before I return to Haiti next month Lord willing, besides bringing Bibles, I have been asked to participate in bringing wedding garments for the Christian woman's project. In Haiti it is very expensive to have a wedding so many couples live together without marriage. If one or both of them get saved, they cannot follow in baptism in that arrangement. The Pastor's wives are starting a project to provide wedding garments to be used by the needy couples to help them with this expense so they can do the right thing before God. So I am praying for contribution of used wedding garments to assist them. Thank you for your prayerful consideration. The Wedding Dress by Mary Davis A young bride carefully packs her wedding dress. It was the most wonderful day of her life - her wedding day. But now the wedding dress is put away and later sent away. In Haiti a young couple are living together and they have a child together now six years old. Because of the cost, marriage has been impossible. The young woman begins to suffer from illness and demonic attack as she loses control of her senses periodically. Other people beat on her to tell the demon to leave her. An older missionary has the wedding dress from her daughter in USA. The missionary talks with the young woman, by means of a translator, who is the pastor of the Church. She talks with the young woman about putting all her trust in Jesus and sincerely calling on Him to save her. After that she talked with the couple about how they must be right with God in marriage. They agree but in despair relate that they have no money for the expense of a wedding. The missionary and the pastor told the couple they would help them with the cost of the wedding and the missionary has the wedding dress. Then the missionary instructed her about what to do when demonic activity presented itself. James 4:7 "Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee." Be right with God; resist the devil in the name of Jesus and the devil will go. The couple was married in the church. When a demon presented itself the bride told it to "Go" in the name of Jesus and she has been free of illness and demonic activity since her wedding day. Praise The Lord! Bless His Holy Name. Victory in Jesus, now & forever. May God bless YOU as you live for Him. — Mary To donate Wedding Garments: Call Mary at 1-419-564-2846, then mail/send by February 9, your donations % Mary Davis | 17264 San Carlos Blvd., Suite 302-128 | Ft Meyers Beach, FL 33931 www.aprayernotebook.net/each1helps1 =====February 11:02 AM 2/26/2019 2/25 I thank you for your prayers and contributions to expand our work in Haiti, to encourage the people in their faith, even in a time of unrest.

" --Mary 4/17 May you have a meaningful Good Friday and blessed Resurrection Sunday. Thank you for your prayers. It is hard to see the Haitian people struggle so to survive day by day and not have means to help them. I try to keep my focus: Looking to God who can help them, Looking to Jesus who can save them, and Looking to Holy Spirit who guides us all day by day. PTL. Philogene Elishma, 85 blind man accepted the Lord, is being picked up for church & is receiving discipleship lessons.

Mary ===== June 6/2 Mary Davis latest email... "Thanks for prayers. Praying for you too. Trouble in Port Au Prince and gangs shooting people at night, in Les Cayes & stealing their motorcycles. We are praying they will be stopped and we trust God in all things. We have begun our evangelistic campaign in Les Cayes as we invite churches and missions to participate in the Nov 1&2 city-wide evangelism days. We have seen 10 decisions in Les Cayes and 5 here in Kahouck for Christ & 55 pastors & leaders in bible seminar on Encouraging Evangelism in remote Plaisance in dept Nippe. Lord willing we will be able to complete evangelistic activities in remote areas. Then we will focus more on Les Cayes area towards fall. God bless you. Mary” 6/14 Prayn4u2 Things are calm but tense in the countryside. I praise the Lord for a Bible seminar in Pestel near the sea (north) with 50 pastors and leaders last weekend. They were so hungry to learn and had many questions. We were going to an island Caimite but had to return home before the revolt got into full swing closing all roads to main cities and we live below Les Cayes. This week our evangelistic activities were canceled in the city but we went on evangelism in the countryside 2 days with 5 decisions  for Christ. Please pray for us for a peaceful resolution. There is a group trying to get the president to leave, others who want the high price of living to come down with 92% inflation. The police shoot people randomly. Then the revolters are attacking the police and shooting people who try to break their blockades. They are trying to keep people from going to church in the cities, so they will participate in the revolt to oust the president. May God help Haiti. Mary  June 25 [Dear Friends and family,] People struggle still in Haiti[an urban areas ] but [it is] still calm in the countryside. We went to Les Cayes in the morning before protestors were in place. We understand Saturday will be a free day so people can conduct their business. If so I will try to plan a Bible seminar then. We had one in Roche a Bateau with 35 pastors & leaders June 21-22. Evangelism today in Formond resulted in 4 decisions. The residents want us to return to instruct their children who go to Catholic School and have received false teaching. We pray for God's leading & protection in what we do and where we go. I plan to return to US 2nd week July and Ohio 3rd week God willing if I can get to Port Au Prince airport. Mary. =====July July 9 "Mary Davis report (July 9,2019 EMAIL) Great to be back in America: Land of the Free (More than in other places) Thank you for your prayers as I pray for you also. On July 5th, it was exciting to set foot in America, as I go from one world way to another. I am here for a month, then God willing, I will return and continue to work with Haitian pastors, encouraging evangelism and preparing together for the Two-day city-wide evangelism of the city of Les Cayes, population approx 125,000 November 1 & 2, 2019.

I have distributed Creole New Testaments in 4 churches to people who have no Bible or New Testament in their home. I continue to prepare and plan to distribute the Word of God to Haitian people as I take the Gospel to them. God blesses as His children work together, yielded to His guidance, and that is what we want to do. Mary. =====August Aug 26 Last report was of 11 voodoo priests kings who came from Africa to rededicate Haiti to the devil. We know God is greater than anything they can do. During that time the Christian Churches were holding 3 days of praying and fasting. We continue to take the gospel in the Les Cayes surrounding area: 12 decisions in August; Encouraging evangelism: Training for 60 people in east Les Cayes. Training for west Les Cayes and Bible seminar for 150 pastors and leaders next week. Thanks for prayer for Christians to stand for Christ in Haiti and everywhere! Amen? 9707 Thanks for contributions for Bibles, New Testaments, John-Romans shipping cost, gospel tracts and copies of Creole Seminar outlines. Thank you for those who contributed wedding dresses to encourage Christian marriage here. Victory in Jesus in all we do we pray. Mary =====September Sept 12 "We stand in that faith. Rebels in Port-au-Prince by gunpoint are not letting gasoline trucks come to Les Cayes for two weeks. This brings Les Cayes almost to a standstill. When a truck does get here, there are congested lines of trucks & vehicles trying to get the gas. Merchants sell the gas by a beer bottle for 3-4 times the price. Our Bible seminar to be 150 was 70 people. A training of 300 was 2 & is rescheduled. We did another training in evangelism in a church Sunday afternoon for 10 members then went on evangelism for 45 minutes and led 1 young man to the Lord. PTL On the way home we ran out of gas & there was none to buy. We walked from the main road 1-2 miles back to the church for pm service. When we needed to go to a meeting for planning on 2 day evangelism we went by tap tap (pick up truck for public transportation). Previously, I had invited a MEBSH pastor leader, Pastor Chery, who recognized me while I was on evangelism, to join the evangelism team. So there is now a team of 4 pastors organizing the Les Cayes outreach: Pastor Emilio, president & Pastor Altima, member assoc protestant pastors, Pastor Chery, MEBSH, and Pastor Senat, CMBH. They want to have a celebration time in the evening of Nov 1 & 2 to praise God for results. Pastor Prince & I will continue in evangelism and trainings as requested. Please pray for Gods will in His world & here. God bless you. Mary" Sept 25 "We continue to struggle from shortage of gas. An additional problem is that protesters are trying to force the president to leave by pressure of not allowing children to go to school. In Les Cayes there is presence of UN to control violence in the street. Lord willing we continue to pray and plan for 2 day evangelism in Les Cayes Nov 1-2. We experienced a small earth tremor today. Praise God He is control of all things. Since the 11 voodoo priests came from Africa to rededicate Haiti to the devil, Aug 14 and voodoo Haitians received them, Christians prayed but God may let them have the devil and withhold blessings. Our church had a week of prayer for Haiti and asking God's forgiveness. I am encouraging them to lovingly share truth of salvation in Jesus Christ with all including voodoo. Voodoo can't hurt the Christian because we are in Christ. PTL. Prayn4u2 Maryt from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device " ======October Oct 2 "Les Cayes and other cities are under siege by opposition to the president. UN is mediating with both sides. Everything is escalating this coming weekend. We pray for God's perfect will in the situation. Sorry to hear of Pres Trump dilemna. Pray all is well with you. May God bless us all. Mary" Oct 25 "(God) removes kings and sets up kings" Dan 2:21. The conflict continues as many people protest for the president of Haiti to leave. There seems to be a standoff. He says he will finish his term but has not done anything about problems since cities have been cut off for last 7 weeks: no gas, no school, limited access to city markets or hospitals, risk of outlaws; and protesters will not give up their hold of the cities. Please pray for 2 day evangelism in Les Cayes Nov 1 & 2 in spite of protest planned for those secular celebration days. 50,000 gospel tracts have arrived from Fellowship League. May God get glory in it. PTL: 37 decisions for Christ in October. God bless you. Mary" =====Nov Nov 1&2 [Our] citiwide evangelism days [for] Les Cayes are postponed. With unrest in Haiti, the churches, though interested in participating, were not ready to do so. However 5 people went out. We saw manifestations to block roads by burning tires, trees & garbage. People were hungry and wanted food not gospel tracts. We prayed with them for God to meet their needs. There were 28 decisions for Christ. PTL. We gave Haiti this message: _____ Whereas: There is a God in heaven who says: Isa 45:22 "Look unto Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth" _____ Whereas: God tells us the way: 2Chron 7:14 "If My people which are called by My name, shall humble themselves & pray, & seek My face, & turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, & will forgive their sin, & will heal their land." Ps 27:8 "When you said 'Seek My face', my heart said, Your face Lord will I seek." _____ Whereas: Haiti has sought help from other nations to help them solve problems of corruption, hunger, poverty, insufficient education, & medical care while we are in danger of outlaws & vandalism: _____ Whereas: Jesus said, John 15:5 " ..You can do nothing without Me". John 14:6 " ..No man comes to the Father but by Me." _____ Whereas: "We come, with repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ," & We come as "the Body of Christ, the Church." _____ Whereas: "We take this stand: We invoke God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit to break the hold of unrighteousness over Haiti." ===== Therefore: We look for God's perfect will for Haiti: Jer 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." ===== Therefore: We plead with Les Cayes and all Haiti: Seek the one true living God. Stand in faith, praying, trusting God. Then, See what God can do through a nation that "seeks His face". Living by faith, Mary =====  12/5/19: . Thanks for prayers. I am praying for you too. For the 2nd time we were held up by gunpoint for money (2015) by outlaws. I gave one a Bible. When I started to pray, one said let them go. As we share the gospel in the inner-city, shack to shack, I have compassion for these destitute families. People are hungry. Food from US went to Port Au Prince but did not seem to come to Les Cayes.   In Mt 9:36 Jesus saw the multitudes & was moved with compassion because they were weary (trying to survive) & scattered abroad as sheep with no shepherd.  They need the one true God. I pray too for the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest to bring people right with Himself.  30 accepted Christ in last month. Many others considering "the only way" to be right with God, according to the Bible, by faith in Jesus Christ. As we walk the streets with compassion and the gospel, young people who speak English are offering to go with me. One is Pablosso Polyte.  Pastors in inner-city churches are inviting us to teach the 3-hour training on encouraging evangelism in their churches.  We are distributing the NT Bibles in this area. 20 will go to a small church where only 1 person has a Bible. God is blessing this ministry. I pray for a young man or young couple with compassion to continue this ministry in Haiti.  Because of Him who was born to save us, Mary.
