Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Last Friday the evangelist in our group here at the house shared this story, I love it, God is so good.  He prayed for God to give him strength to go and work at his garden which he had to walk about an hour to get to.  He did not have any food at the house to take with him.  As he was working he began to get hungry, so he prayed again that God would help him find something to eat.  Not long after he prayed, he saw a piece of fruit that looked like had just fallen from the tree.  The Miracle in this was it was a fruit that is only in season July and August.  He picked it up and ate it, he said it was very good.

Quote from one of our guests:"The Haitian people are a people with a difficult past, present, and future. Spiritually leading the Haitian people are pastors with a heart for God, a love for the people, and a longing to be better preachers and pastors. Pastors who want to be more equipped to fulfill their calling. Because of lack of opportunity to be further equipped, God opened a door through the Routon's. " Will you go and help equip them?

Quote from another one of our guests:"Took 9.5 hours. We crossed four streams.  Could not tell how deep three of them were so we watched some taxi/motorcycles go first to find where best to cross.  Women washing themselves and their children and clothes in the streams.  Arrived at the Routon's and took a cold shower.  Then that night used a fan operated off a car battery from solar panels."  

Always an adventure here, won't you come too?

Awesome worship service last Sunday morning. We were worshiping like some cheer at a game when their team scores or wins. We should worship like that all the time because we have won because satan was defeated at the Cross.  Wish all of you could come and experience the culture here and the worship.

Disciples making disciples; leaders making leaders.  God continues to move, we have a total of 10 groups now including the gold group.  Over 100 pastors. The gold group continues to help Terry go out to the other groups.

We recently showed the movie Courageous to a small group of pastors.  It was in french so Pastor Rousier helped them to understand some parts.  They really liked it.  Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.  Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.  As God continues to enlarge our territory, we trust and know He will continue to equip others to help.

The picture below is one of the Pastor groups Terry visited on Saturday to deliver New Testaments and encourage them.

Pastor Rousier and Pastor Paul are going to another area where there is no evangelical church October 17.

At one of the schools a young lady asked to have a Bible like we teach from.  She said that at her church they don't teach what she heard about salvation that day.

Prayer requests and needs:

• Pray for their trip on October 17 that God will move on the hearts of those in that area.
• Pray for the pastors as they hear truth, they will replace the false teachings and disciple others to do the same.
• Pray for the young people in the schools as they hear the gospel they will accept it as truth and receive it into their hearts.
• Need a used phone that is unlocked so we can use it in Haiti.  Old I-phones work, actually any phone that is unlocked and has a place for a sim card should be useable.
• Pray God will make a way for a young lady we have known for several years here in Haiti.  She loves the Lord and desires to serve Him.  She would like to go to nursing school.
• Pray God will provide for all the needs we have here in the ministry He has given us and our personal needs also.

It saddens me to think that many people will not accept the gift of salvation. They have no hope for their eternal future. God offers that free gift to everyone. But it is up to the individual to accept the gift of eternal life with Him.  So many here in Haiti fear voodoo because they don't understand who they are in Christ and the power that they have through the Holy Spirit to overcome the darkness.

Blessings

Terry and Carolyn
