Haiti update #6

The message below is from an email sent out today by Christi Barnes, the leader of the Haiti team.

Today was quite a day in beautiful Haiti. I will start with the end of the day, which was evangelizing through the countryside and getting to see three people give their heart and life to Jesus Christ! It was awesome...the girl who got saved last year is still battling parents consumed in voodoo; there was quite the voodoo temple areas set up at their house this time. We also got to see the twins that were newborn last year whom we had the honor of dedicating to the Lord. They are in church, big and healthy and we prayed over their home and family for continued blessings.


Now, the other part of the day was definitely the witness of Jesus who came for the sick. We went to a six month old church plant in a community across the river called Bellmead. They had hundreds of people crammed into a small church hut and things went from nuts to mob FAST! We did get to worship, pray and share the story of Christ's birth before we had to leave.  It was sad and intense, but we were all safe. They are just desperate and need Jesus as well as to be discipled. It will be a different experience after the church and area has been established more. I am sure of it. So, we left there and then got blessed in other ways. We continue to do morning and evening devotions with the orphans and that is always fun! Today we gave them all toy party horns and read out of Joshua on Jericho . We all marched around and blew our horns in victory! Tonight we did glow sticks and talked about the light that Jesus brings to our hearts. They all love it.

Tomorrow we go to a place called Passparam. PLEASE pray...we trust God will move mightily but this is a remote area where there are a lot of people and limited amount of shoeboxes that we can transport there. Prayerfully, the clinic there will be a huge blessing of God's love to the people.

This is truly an amazing team!

Love and miss you all!
