Conference Day One


Michael: Today (Thursday) we ran a full day medical clinic that was not even a concept just 3 weeks ago. We have enjoyed our Haitian brothers and sisters immensely and it was a rare pleasure to see them receive physical healing along with the dense Spiritual Healing that God is pouring on all of our heads. His Spirit is so concentrated here as there is almost a sense that we are here only to witness the great work He has already done. If only those praying at home could see the work in which they are so vitally participating. And, by the way, we worship a God who saves. Today we saw Francois and Milton – two Haitian refugees -- pray to receive our Savior’s Spirit and, yes, it was sweet. Glory to Him!

Steve: Today (Thursday) was our first day teaching the conference. We had a minimum of 100 folks present at the conference. The church where we taught was HOT with every single seat in the place taken and some folks standing outside. The team did a great job of keeping positive and enduring the heat. More importantly the Haitian brothers and sisters who attended were remarkably attentive. These folks took notes all day and you could see in their faces the eagerness to learn. The community where we are holding the conference is incredible. Haiti is the poorest country in the northern hemisphere and these are Haitian living in the Dominican Republic where they discriminated against and have a very difficult time finding any work. The work they do find is typically very difficult and very low paying. It is truly humbling to see their positive attitudes and desire to learn Jesus strategy. Today only Pepper and I taught – actually we put Paul on the spot and had him teach on evangelism. He did a phenomenal job. Tomorrow the rest of the team will be teaching. Keep us in your prayers!
