I squeezed so much ministry into a nine-day trip to Haiti that I had to take a day off and try not to talk in order to regain just enough voice to preach and sing again. But this January trip was another sign to me of the power of God that is being unleashed for revival in Haiti. Truly I feel that the words of Jesus to the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:8, “Look, I have set before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, but you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
Here’s a brief summary of nine days of ministry assisted by Joèl, Jesper, and others:
1) A Conference for 40 pastors in the town of Saut d”Eau, site of a beautiful and famous waterfall that voodoo worshippers have claimed as their own ever since the Virgin was seen in a tree nearby. These pastors will now join together to gather youth from the whole area in an outdoor rally with the Teen Challenge team that will visit this town with us in February.
2) On January 12, second anniversary of the Earthquake, I was broadcast on the new Transformation Radio station leading worship and preaching at a service of remembrance at the new Transformation Church on the site north of Port-au-Prince that we call the Transformation Center. We spent some holy time of sharing and planning with Pastor Guillomettre, and then in the evening went with Pastor Esdras to a church where my music and message was broadcast on Voice of the Gospel Radio.
3) Three days at a church whose four pastors and over 1,000 members are hungry for revival, who literally wore me out with ministry in worship and teaching! Friday night with the whole congregation, Saturday morning with all church leaders, Saturday afternoon with musicians and worship leaders, Sunday morning worship beginning 6:00 am, then a time of message and ministry to all married couples. The Teen Challenge team will also be here in February to minister to a youth gathering.
4) Countless hours of individual discipling, mentoring, sharing and prayer with Joèl, Jesper, Pastor Esdras, Pastor Guillomettre, renewed and restored original team member Pastor Manès, a new disciple Andris who travelled with us for three days, and another new friend in revival ministry whom I met in Brazil, Pastor Frederic.
5) An afternoon with an association of leaders of youth groups directed by Andris, sharing inspiration and challenge with them in preparation of a large gathering of youth both from their church groups and from the streets who will meet with the Teen Challenge team next month.
