February 12, 2010 - "There is not a single day since the earthquake that one person does not come to Christ."

Dear and Precious Friends:
 
Greetings. I know it's been a while since I sent you update, please accept my apology.
Beside the devastation of the earthquake some progress have been made that need your attention.
 
 The first week of December 2009 during Pastor William Spriggs ministry in Paul, a lot of people accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. There were about 70. Among them is a witchdoctor whose name is Magre. You can pray for him. He is walking with the Lord since and he is growing in his faith. We support him financially for we don't want him to be tempted to go back to witchcraft. We are thinking about giving him a micro business to support himself. The church there is growing.
 
The earthquake is like a wake up call for the Haitians. Since then a lot of people have come to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior and all christians are more serious in their walk with the Lord. The attendance in church has increased considerably.
 
A young man 23 whose name is Ralph Raymond has become a Christian about four years ago. He was a witchdoctor. He was initiated in witchcraft at the age of 6. He is now an evangelist. I was stunned when I heard his testimony. Then I invited him to come and preach to the congregation at Lacroix. He is now preaching a revival in Perisse. I am amazed at the result. Many many have accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour beside the many who had commited their lives one more time to the Lord. His testimony help Christians understand the power that our God has. The revival started on Sunday night and up to last night there are about 100 people who have given their hearts to the Lord. This is happening nation wide. We are taking the opportunity to evangelize because people are ready . There is not a single day since the earthquake that one person does not come to Christ. As we said in our language Strike the iron while it is heart. While I am writing this update a group of people is meeting in the church to fast and pray.
 
 Haitian President Rene Preval appointed today Feb 12 as a day of rest, the one month anniversary of the 7.0 quake that devastated Port au Prince. Immediately local church leaders added their voice for a three day fast of prayer and repentance to seek God's mercy. I believe God has inspired this national three day fast and God will answer His people with a miraculous ourtpouring of His Love. It starts today, tomorrow and Sunday.
 
I have never seen haitians so motivated. Wherever you go they talk about it. Even laborers come to tell me Pastor Pierre we are not coming to work on Friday and Saturday for it is a national day of prayer. People are ready for whatever God is up to. Even Patients at the clinic. I told the staff that they should come because they had given people rendez-vous. You know what they called this morning to tell me that no patients show up. Usually they would have come. This is to tell you how every one is motivated. There is no traffic either.
 
Earthquake is not good and the devastation is awful. Every one in particular has a finger in it one way or another. Every one is sad. Another thing that proves the sadness of the Haitians is the cancellation of the Carnaval celebrations. This is something that they don't negotiate. Those of you who have been here during carnaval can understand if they can cancel this great event the earthquake devastation has affected them greatly. God is using this event to pour his Spirit over the nation. Revival every where in the country. If the earthquake had caused more than 230.000 deaths, in a positive way it will bring more than 230,000 new souls to the Lord. People who were voodoo worshipers are and now turning to God. This is what the country needs. It is not money, it is not jobs, it is not reconstructions of houses, it is a not a new government, It is God. When God is put in place every thing will also fall in place. Mt 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." 
 
I am so glad that the Nation realized that, all saved and unsaved. It is a  miracle. Please continue to pray for haiti while you continue to reach them financially.
 
Next week we are going to start a revival in Paul because there are a lot of people who moved back from Port au Prince. Last Sunday I was in Paul for church for I wanted to experience the growth personally. Two people accepted Christ during the service. One of them was in the earthquake and she said she would like to live the rest of her life for God. I am very encouraged by what I am seeing these days. We are taking Ralph up there to preach and to witness to the people since the people there are deep in voodoo.
It took an earthquake to awake the Haitian Nation. I pray that they stay awake and the spiritual leaders keep them on their toes.
I take this time to send you this update and I ask the church permission to do that.
Thank you so much for your help.
Let me leave you with this joke:
Yesterday I asked my wife, " Why do you love me so much?" She said "you think so?" I said yes it is very evident. You love me more than ever. She laughed. I told her that is what I was looking for.  I keep expressing to her how grateful I am to God for her. She stood by me during the hardest moment in my life. Her mother was very ill with a terminal disease and I was also at the same time. She choose to be by my side versus her mother. I thank God for my wife every day. I put some light on her face the other day when I saw her laying in bed during the day exausted. I said honey I am sad to see you laying in bed like that for if you die before me I'll be darned. I added who will take care of me if I get sick the way I was two years ago. She gave me a big smile.Keep the love going with your wife. She is your treasure.
God bless you all and thank you for your support.
For Calvary Cause,
Prosperpierre
