Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Been some rough days.  satan doesn't like what God is doing among us and so he tries to cause problems, but, Greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world.  1 John 4:4.  And like Paul, we count it all JOY!  PRAISE THE LORD!

Brother Guillet is the evangelist in the pastors group.  He is in charge of the market ministry that is every Tuesday and Thursday.  The pastors take turns helping also.  It is exciting what God is doing through that ministry.  As you saw in the last update, many have come to Christ, many have been ministered to with just a piece of bread or a cup of water and others have recommitted their lives after straying away.  GOD IS ON THE MOVE, ON THE MOVE, ALLELUIA!

We have been getting some rain.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

We were able to make the trip to Port au Prince and get the tires, Bibles and other supplies we needed. Thank you to those that helped with the purchase of the tires and Bibles. It was a long trip but did not have have any problems.  THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

The school ministry, presenting sexual purity and the Gospel, will be finishing up this month.  Many students signed a paper that they want to stay sexually pure for marriage.  It was exciting to see so many desiring that.  In this culture so many young men are taught that you should have sex with the girl before marriage to make sure she can get pregnant.  So to many this has been a different message and they seem to like this new message and asking for more information.  What is really sad it  has been taught in the churches as well, another false teaching.  WE HAVE SOME GODLY YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN DOING THE PRESENTATIONS AND TOUCHING THE YOUNG PEOPLES LIVES.

May 15 - 18 we will have a workshop with the gold group of pastors.  Now that they have the false teachings identified and the scripture to back the truth we are moving to the next step.  How to communicate that to their congregations and what the New Testament church should look like.  In this workshop just like the one about the false teachings, they help us identify the problems then we work together how to implement the changes using the Word of God.  On the last day we will have a meal together, mmmmm goat and banan pezi.  We and the pastors are excited about this next step.  Then they go to the other groups and teach them.  WE LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO.

The other 5 pastor groups are growing in numbers of churches in each group.  Total of 60 churches.  One of the groups is in the process of helping another group get started.  They are realizing that unity in Christ is so important and needed.  GOD IS WORKING.

Pastor Paul and his son Efez is home and doing well now.  GOD IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

• Pray for Pastor Lencis, pictured below.  He is around 60 which is older for this culture, has to walk a couple of hours each way and about half way through the teachings he has a hard time staying awake.  The church building was hit during the hurricane and they are working on repairs.
• Pray for Brother Guillet as God continues to use him in the market ministry and other evangelism opportunities.
• Pray the rain will continue to come as needed now that the gardens have been planted.
• Pray for the workshop May 15-18.
• Pray for all the pastors and churches we work with, they have a lot of spiritual warfare.
• Pray for each day that everyone who walks through our door and enters our yard or just walks by outside our wall will feel the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
• Pray that the influence of voodoo and their traditions of men/false teachings will continue to diminish.

BLESSINGS
