Home from Haiti with a few pictures and thoughts about my journey.
Everywhere you look there are 2 different overall views that you will see in Haiti. The devastation is on every street and the results of the earthquake has impacted every level of the nation – rich/poor, churched/unchurched and government/civil.
The tent cities are everywhere and the people within them are helpless and hurting. When you go in a tent city the people automatically rush to you thinking you are there to give food, water or tarps. One of the most amazing things is that if you start to pray for people in the tent cities, they will take your hand and place it on the part of the body they want you to pray for. The rainy season is approaching … Can you imagine having your whole family live in one of these communities below during all of the floods and rain that are about to hit your tent?
Yet, among all of the devastation and chaos, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE & WELL! The Kingdom of God is moving mightily and I was humbled to see the palpable presence of our King _ JESUS in Haiti. Every person that God introduced me to in Haiti – Haitian or Non-Haitian – all shared the same stories … “We have never experienced a move of God like this in our lives.”
Imagine being in the central park of your capital city and watching & participating with over 500,000 people worshipping and crying out to “Petit Jezee” (Creole for Son, JESUS) for Him to rule and reign in your country.
Every Haitian Pastor that you speak with agrees that God is calling the Spiritual Fathers of Haiti to AWAKE, ARISE and ALIGN themselves for the ADVANCEMENT of the Kingdom of God. Keep praying for all of the pastors of Haiti. God is on the move and we are moving with Him! Pray especially for the pastor in the picture below with me. Pastor Christian Maisonneuve is a mighty man of God who has been anointed by God to lead the coalition of 1,000 pastors that God had me network with while in Haiti.
I stand amazed at all that God accomplished in and through me while in Haiti. Your prayers and financial support enabled me to serve uninhibited. Knowing that God is using others to help send some is exciting. Because you gave, I followed God and Haiti is being changed forever and me, too!
I believe we will see a reverse of the curse in Haiti. Keep praying … Keep watching and Keep Partnering with me and AIM to reap the eternal rewards of your investment.
I Love YOU and praise God for YOU!
