Feb 27 - Strike the iron while it's hot!

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.
