Dear Friends;
 
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus who died not only to save us from sin and to reconcile us with the Father but also to bring us together from all over the world. Otherwise you and I would not have known each other. What a loss it would be! I don't think I could afford not to know you for you are such a blessing.
 
Knowing you have brought such joy and satisfaction in my life. I don't think my life would be complete without you. I keep telling my wife, I would be darned without her. She has the gift of encouragement. When I was sick to death two years ago, she did not give up on me though the doctors had given no hope. That is why I keep telling her I love her to DEATH.  Ha Ha. Laugh out loud.
 
I have to apologize for a mistake I made in my previous email. The number of souls that got saved is 81 instead of 131. I did not hear well on the phone. Maybe I start losing my hearing. I need to tell my wife that so she doesn't upset with me when I don't do what she asks me to do. Do you think it's a good idea? Ha Ha. Here is Pierre again!

 I have other good news for you: Among the 81 new converts is a witchdoctor whose name is Model. He is very young. Last year he came during a revival we held there in paul and gave his heart to the Lord but his wife get very upset, therefore it didn't work. This time Pastor Evens went with Ralph who recently converted from witchcraft. He told them that he was not ready. One night while they were still there, Model come to wake them up and said that since they had talked to him, he could not sleep. He had bad dreams. He saw that he was dead and in great torment. He came to give his heart to Jesus.
An Angry wife:
This is the most choking news about that: His wife got really angry when Pastor Evens went to burn the things that they had in the consultation room.Usually it is the custom when someone get converted for him to turn every thing that he was given in witchcraft to be burned. She stoned them. She took every thing and kick them out. On Saturday afternoon they come down because they were upthere for a week. Model decided to go with them to the mission in Lacroix because his wife is torturing him and he is afraid that the same don't happen to him as last year. He wants to stay with them in order for him to mature and to grow in the Lord before he goes back. It is a miracle. So we can say that in three months two witchdoctors have accepted Christ in Paul. Pastor Evens told me this morning that there are a lot of witchdoctors there. I am glad that they have an opportunity to disciple him and to send him back as a witness.
Another thing Pastor William Spriggs and I were talking about yesterday is to find a way to support those men for we don't do they might be tempted to go back to practice witchcraft since it was their way of making a living. I told him that he is right. Since President Preval has repaired the roads to Paul there are some taxi motorcycles that take people from Paul to the nearest town and they make money like that, I told him maybe we should think about buying each a motocycle. This maybe the concern of his wife. This motocycle costs about $1,000.00 USD. This is something to pray about.
 
Ralph, the former witchdoctor, now an evangelist did a good job preaching there. People expected him to tell them some secrets as to how they kill people in witchcraft. He told them if witchcraft was good he would not leave it and that he was not there to tell them about witchcraft but about the Lord Jesus how he saved him and how he wants to save them too.
 
Pastor William Spriggs is planning a trip there this week end. He will be going to minister to Paul for ten days. Pray for him that many will come to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Seventeen people get baptized in water last week. As you can see there is a breakthrough in Paul. Thanks for your prayers. Please continue to pray.
 
The doors of opportunity are marked "Push" and "Pull." So let us push and pull for there are more souls that need to come to Christ.

Friends:
 
Greetings. I am pleased to return to you with some good and exciting news. I know more you know,  better you can pray for us and tell people about the ministry there.
" And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Ro. 8:28
There is a saying here: " Bat fe a pandan li cho." Strike the iron while it's hot." Since the earthquake tragedy Haitians'hearts are sensitive to God." It seems that the majority mean business. They even stoned some voodoo worshippers who were doing voodoo ceremony. I pray that this attitude remain in them for ever so they can have real fear for God.
 
The power of God continues to do its course in Haiti thru the Lacroix Ministry. I told you in my previous update that I was preparing to send a group to Paul to witness since the field is ready for harvest. The young man Ralph who was converted from voodoism to Christianity four years ago has been used by God in a great manner to bring voodoo worshippers back to Him. Two weeks ago in Perisse there were 173 who have given their hearts to the Lord under his ministry during a revival.
After that I felt led by the Lord to organize the same thing in Paul a village that is in need for such a revival. I know it was going to cost but what can we give in exchange for one soul that come to Christ. A group of musicians has been hired to go there to stay for a week. Haitians don't need announcement for open air meetings. They just need to hear the music.
 
I was anxious for I did not hear any thing from them. Yesterday I rejoiced over the fact that 131 souls have turned to Christ this week. Two couples who were living outside of wedluck had committed themselves in marriage and several new believers received water baptism. I thank the Lord for that. There is future for this ministry there. Please pray for a Pastor there.
 
You remember there were three medical teams up there three weeks in a row last month. People there were motivated by this because there were people in critical condition who came to be helped. I told you that we had money given to us to build a clinic there but land has not been available. I did not want to buy land since it is not our policy to buy property. Finally they told me while I was there the last time that they need a clinic. I told them no they don't. They insisted and I insited too that they did not need a clinic. Finally I had to tell them the truth about it. Then they all decided to make this happened. Last week I made a trip there to see the property that some people wanted to give for the clinic. Yesterday they finally made it to the public notary to begin the process of turning the property over to Lacroix New Testament Mission. Now the next step is to get the property surveyed but we can start making plan for the building now because once they signed before the Notary they can't change their mind. I am afraid that the original plan that we have is already too small because the Community of Diegue (Paul) has a population of over25,000. I thank God for that great step that we made.
 
Our prayers now is for the Lord to equip us with a good dump truck for the work there because we have several buildings to build such as schools, clinic, church, grain mill, bakery and housing for short term medical team, teachers and Pastors. We do not want to build with cement blocks but with stones since there are many up there. That way we can use local resources to save money. There is a great potential for the clinic up there to expand like Lacroix clinic.
We also pray for God's provision.
Please pray for the new converts and for financila means to help these two born again witchdoctors.
God bless you all. Please share this email with others.

(in response to our offering we sent) 

Thank you so much. It is a lot. We will buy food to give out to the people. Food is very expensive since the earthquake and no one can afford it. A 100 lbs bag of rice went from $35.00 to $90.00 USD. Your donation to us means a lot. Thank you so much. We will send you pictures of the food distribution when it is done. Please convey our thanks and gratitude to all.
God bless.
