Today has been a beautiful day here in Cap Haitien! We shared a great hour or so in reading devotions and discussion before readying ourselves for church. We made our way across town to Pastor Saintil's church where we experienced a true Haitian worship service. Pastor translated much of his sermon for us which was quite touching and powerful in message. The music was amazing and God's presence was surely felt by each of us as we worshiped together with this beautiful family of God. Pastor Saintil started the church 25 years ago with only seven people in his congregation. Today he has 1400-1500 people attending his church each week. Last month he baptized 53 people and 103 people committed their lives to the Lord after a 40 day revival. This revival involved 3 hours each evening for those 40 days praising and teaching in his church. What a testimony!
We will be headed out to 4VEH (the Christian radio channel) missionary church service momentarily...making the most of our time visiting and worshiping our Lord with brothers and sisters here in Haiti! God is so very good! It is amazing to worship Him finding that no matter where you are, when you find other passionate lovers of Christ, it is so very inspiring to our Christian walk!
We thank you for your prayers and are looking forward to a trip out to Terrier Rouge tomorrow and a visit with Pastor Noel and his beautiful wife, Marie! Updates tomorrow....

Imagine all those people eager for the gospel!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Wow...I'm trying to picture self-centric Americans commiting 3 hours a night for a week, let alone 40 days. I mean, they might actually have to miss American Idol!

May God's blessings be upon you all and may His mercy be upon the rest of us!
