hey guys! we arrived in Jacmel, Haiti on the 2nd. We traveled for about 13 hrs …i think! It was a long haul and we are staying at the YWAM base. We were able to meet a few other missionaries which is exciting. On our way across the border we faced some resistance right away. I guess there were people who just so happened to be protesting the bus line that we rode on! I know it was a bit crazy but we prayed for a while and they finally allowed us to cross the border! Praise God!
When we entered the country the words God put in my head were FREEDOM and HEALING. That is kind of my theme for this trip. Please pray for that for this country and the remainder of our trip. A lot of people here practice voodoo and this is a dark place spiritually. Pray against the spiritual warfare and please pray for our strength and for God to do miracles in the hearts of these people.
So far we have done evangelism and held services in a field. This mean we talked to people about God and told them more about Jesus. They were highly receptive. It seems a lot of people know Jesus but it does not seem like they live it out in their lives. Our services consisted of a LOT of dramas, testimonies and a presentation of the gospel. There has been several people who accepted Christ!! These next weeks we will be putting on vacation bible school and have time to do some follow up. And I heard that we might get a chance to go to a hospital!!! please pray for that one!!
Please pray for healing for some of our teammates they got sick with kidney stones, colds, coughs.
