Revival continues in Haiti

Our experience in Haiti the week of Christmas was nothing short of amazing as we saw nearly 200 people come to Jesus, including a Voodoo priestess. But the move of God didn’t stop when we left. People are still coming to Jesus.

The word of what God did during our stay in Montrouis, L’Artibonite and Acaia continues to spread, and we are still receiving requests to come back. When people heard a Voodoo priestess turned to Jesus and burned her Voodoo idols, that got their attention. As people tell of the love the American missionaries showed them , more and more people are wanting to know this Jesus that we traveled to tell them about.

Last week something very exciting happened. Pastor Damil was having a midnight service at his church in Montrouis when a woman we prayed with on Christmas Day walked into the service. She said ever since the American missionaries visited and prayed with her she’s felt the love and power of God. She said God led her to attend that midnight service. She gave her life to Jesus that night. Praise God!

The day we met her she was downtrodden. She told us she didn’t go to church because she was ashamed, because she sells her body to earn money to feed her children. That broke our hearts. We told her God still loves her and had much better things for her. We told her she didn’t have to sell herself. We prayed with her and gave her some food.

As it turns out she was also a powerful Voodoo leader. What makes this story even better is earlier that same day we met her son and he accepted Jesus as His Lord and Savior. Two days later I was blessed to baptize him. All of this was a great plan by God to defeat Satan once again.

After giving her life to Jesus, the woman told Pastor Damil she wanted to burn all of her Voodoo idols. She had many followers, so imagine the impact this will have for the glory of God. What makes this story even more amazing is the woman and her son had planned to get together Christmas night and kill people through Voodoo. God stopped the enemy in his tracks as the son got saved and the mother was introduced to the love of Christ on Christmas morning and afternoon.

Now the mother and son both live for Jesus. The son’s wife also got saved and baptized that week we were there.

More people are coming to Jesus, and we are excited and give God all of the praise, honor and glory. People are now begging for Bibles, and to help with that need, Harvest Church in Dothan gave us $1,000 to purchase Bibles in Haitian-Creole. Praise God!

We will continue to work with our partners Give Us Hope Mission to continue fanning the flames of revival in Haiti and providing sustainable sources of food, water and jobs. God is up to something big in Haiti. Please continue to pray for our Haitian brothers and sisters, and please pray and financially support us in our efforts.
