February 14, 2010 : No Valentine's for Haitians... Only a "Great Awakening!"

Dear Friends:

Greetings. Some one asked if I preached about St valentine's today. I said no. The circumstances in which the Haitian people are now required another message. Our people are fully motivated to turn their lives completely to Christ and we don't want that spirit to die in them. We have to keep that fire burning in them.

 

In the revival that we held in Perisse for a week 173 souls have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. This morning we had about 8 who come to our church and they testified their new life in Christ. We are planning a discipleship class with them begining tomorrow Lord willing. Last night the altar call preceded the sermon. Fifty three come to know Christ. Praise the Lord.

Yesterday the Mission compound was crowded with families who come to get food from Diegue and Gran Dlo two localities in Paul. It was amazing to see people walk that far for food. This shows how desperate they are. We are glad to help. Some one told me during the distribution Pastor Pierre God is going to bless you for so many could do the same thing but they chose not to. I said God has already blessed me and he said God will bless you more. I told him that the credit is no mine it is for the American people who have given money for this cause.

 

I was touched by a woman who lost her unique daughter and child in the earthquake in Port au Prince. She took her to Dessalines on Sunday for her to take the bus. It was the last time she saw her. On Monday she called to tell them that she made it to Port au Prince OK and on the next day she was killed in the earthquake. This lady is from Grand Dlo. I wept as I sympathized with her. She cannot be comforted. There are many like her. It is a situation that we face with many families. At least several thousands are giving their hearts to God. There is great revival nationwide. I am so glad for that. I believe that God has a great surprise for the Haitians.

 

Someone told me how do you explain that many Christians and Pastors died while they were in Church? I replied, "They are in a better place now. They don't have to face what we are facing." Death is a gain for a christian as Apostle Paul said in Philipians 1:21. I told them I am ready to go.

 

There was fasting and prayer in Gran Dlo, in Diegue, in Lacoupe, Perisse and Boukan Tony join the church in Lacroix. Saved and unsaved both met for that. I thank God for this great awakening in his people. 

 

I heard the generator running and I asked my wife why for usually we don't. She said there are so many in the church building that people even stood out side. It is very hot inside the church building. I went and experienced it for myself. It seems like people were waiting for a time like this.

The food distribution will continue this week because people are starving. They need food. Thank you for helping us meet that crucial need.

 

We are working on the New Perisse this time we are trying to complete the 12 houses that we have started. We want to complete them before we start another set of twelve. Again thank you for your generosity. I don't know what the Haitians would do without the generosity of the American People. Thank you so much.

For Calvary Cause,
