Dear Loved
Ones,
May the peace of our Lord be with each one of
you. God has been good to us and He is keeping us in good physical condition. We
continue to serve Him in spite some hardships of Haitian life as many of you
know it.
God has been very
good in providing us with a truck which makes our ministry easy. I left my house
on September 27 to October 1st to go south visiting women and men and the
general condition of our churches after the January 10 earthquake. We visited
the churches in Darbonne, Grand Goaves, Petit Goave, Croix Hilaire. Carrefour
Dent, Mussotte, Paillant, Montrouis and we ended up with the mountainous church
in Frettas.
Everywhere we went we were well received and
women specially have wanted to see us earlier, not knowing that we have over 120
chuches and hundreds of sub-churches. Many men and the pastors of the churches
visited accompanied women to our different gatherings. Churches are strong and
growing in spite of social and economic life that is difficult for many
families. Women continue to be the majority in all our
churches.
We dealt with
subjects related to health and hygiene, cholera prevention and the big and
important role women have in churches and in the families. We stressed the fact
that women have to stand strong if we want to have strong families, strong
churches and a strong nation. We spent numerous hours in individual and group
counseling. The prayer sessions were the high light of our gathering taking us
into the late hours of evenings (10 or 11 PM).
We brought our relief efforts to the many
families that were badly hit by the earthquake and the general situation of the
country. We also paid more attention to those who can not help themselves in the
distribution of the relief.
If we are able to
accomplished these ministries it is because you care for us. Yours prayers and
your different supports have helped sustain us so that we can continue to be the
feet and the hands of Jesus Christ.
Your gifts through the World Mission Offering
make the ministries happen over here.
With
thanksgiving,
Serving Him in Haiti

Dear Friends,
Once again I wish to thank you for obtaining a vehicle for the ministry. Nothing could have increased the efficiency and decreased the hardships of their work as well this truck.
Thanks again for your support.
