God is Working!

We have news from Haiti quite often. We just received great news. During the Fasting and Prayer, plus some days after that many people have been saved in our villages.

For instance, in Cavalier 15 people were saved. In Marche Kabrit, 8 people were baptized yesterday morning. This is our most difficult village, and a small one. So this is great news from that village! In Mayette, there have been 20+ people who have given their lives to the Lord.

Following is a great story: Jean, the Snake (as he is called) is well know in many villages, as he is a truck driver. He attended one of the services in Mayette. He told them he cannot yet commit his life for the Lord as his "house is too dirty".

So he left for Port au Prince, and took all the images that he had in his house used in Voodoo. Then he went back to the village, not stopping in Mayette, but on to Meteye (his home village) and also took the images in his house there. He returned to Mayette with the villages and made a bonfire, bitterly crying for his sins. He confessed in the church that he had made a contract with demons.
He gave his heart and life to the Lord that day. Some days later, Pstr. Gary had a meeting with the new believers, and Jean took a motorcycle from Port au Prince so he would not miss the meeting. Now he is no longer Jean, the Snake, but Jean a child of God!!

Please pray for Jean and all the other new believers.
We continue to have pain, thank you for your continued prayers on our behalf.
Pray for Patrick as he preaches tomorrow morning.

We are so encouraged by your notes, love and prayers. Know this, we pray for you too.

Patrick & Barb,
I learned of you in Jan. 2010, while visiting the Calvary Chapel Venice. Such a beautiful church. and beautiful people, it was so refreshing to worship the Lord with them.
I added you both to my prayer list, and Pastor Chris sent me this as an update.
Please keep me informed, and I will continue to ask my church, and the others I visit for prayer for you and your mission.
God bless you fully & keep you safe.
