Holy Spirit falling on Haiti

    I must apologize for not updating for the past two days, it has bee very busy. I will start withe Wednesday which was a great day. Our teammate Alex went with the medical clinic and 19 were saved. Glory to God. I also took a step with the Haitian workers by gathering them up to pray with them at the end of the work day. It was great. However, there was one Haitian that asked about my gages in my ears. I told him why I wear them and he understood. Then he told me only bad men in Haiti has them. It was kind of shocking to hear that and then he said he didn't know if I was Christian. It was hard for me to hear at first. Then he pointed out that he knew I was a Christian when I was praying. I see how quickly one can judge from mere appearances without knowing a person. The same way I believe people judge these Haitians. They see the poverty and wonder why don't they do something about it. Well, those people should come down and see how hard they work to make there homes presentable. They work hard to build a home that is 12 feet by 16 feet that will house eight people. My bedroom is almost that big. I see them work in heat that most Americans would refuse to even come out in and they do it without even having a cooler of water.

     The other note from Wednesday was when I dumped a whole cooler of ice water over in the  van. Yeah I am a big clumsy goof. Not the point. After I spilled the cooler and all the ice was floating on the dirty rubber floor of the van the children came up and started to investigate the ice. They picked it up and realized what it was and started to grab handfuls of ice. They were eating the ice of the floor of the van. At first I wanted to tell them to stop that was not good. However, they would have not stopped matter of fact, I believe that was cleaner than some of the water they were drinking. I also realized that most of these kids that were scooping ice probably never see ice and if they do it is a special occasion. It really makes you think about how much we have and what little things we take for granted such as ice.

    Now yesterday I got to get a change of environment. Instead of heading out to the construction site I went with the Alpha Medical team to Germain. I went to help in the pharmacy but my main function was  to be the site pastor and deliver the message of the Gospel. When we pulled up to the site and got out of the van and I felt God there waiting on us. There was about 250 people there by the end of the day the doctors saw 209 people. Well I was introduced and then I started to give my testimony and then share Scripture from 1 John 4:7-10, talking about the greatest love all. I was overcome by the Spirit and God took control. I was speaking and my translator Stanley was repeating everything in Haitian Creole. It was so amazing - -

I spoke and Stanley translated. Then the time to invite people to accept Jesus was upon us. I knew God was working I could hear it in the crowd. And then one came and we started preaching harder then three came. Stanley got energized because it was his first time to translate the message and he started lifting up the name of Jesus and more started to come. Then a lady in the crowd (who I will talk about in a minute) started to praise God and talk to the people. It was a Holy Orchestra. When it was all said and done there was 29 who accepted Christ.

I have never experienced such a sight. What a glorious day for Jesus!! 29 people will be in Heaven with us and I know heaven rejoiced.

The highlight of my day after the salvations was Imomene. This is the lady I had mentioned earlier. She was shouting when I was speaking and I asked Stanley what she was saying.  He told me that she was encouraging people to accept Christ and praising God for my testimony and how through that the Spirit was moving in her. I was so humbled at that point. I could only cry. She came up and Stanley said that she wanted me to pray with her. So after everything had cooled off from getting all the names of the people who got saved we got together and started to pray. I was praying in English and Stanley was translating and she was praying in Creole as well and it was a joyous noise. We lifted our voices in one accord to pray for her healing. She had not been sleeping and couldn't eat and she said she felt really sick. I knew why she was there that day; to help in leading the lost to Christ. We started all to pray so hard and then we knew she was healed. She stood up and gave glory to God as Stanley and I did as well. She said that God gave her healing and I know last night she slept like she never has before and ate a great big meal. I know God provided it.

After she had went through the clinic she came back to see me before she left to tell me how thankful she was and we praised God again. I told her that she was my encourager and that without God sending her I might have been lost that day. I will always remember Imomene Aristomene as one of my closest sisters in Christ.

Remember us today as we work our last day and visit the orphanage. I really love this place. Praise God.
