Bits and pieces of what God is doing in Haiti

Dear Friends,

It has been a world-wind of activity since we arrived back in Haiti on August 8th. Here are some high-lights of what God is doing through our faithful Haitian friends and co-workers:

1) During the World-Cup outreach over 2,000 people watched the games in five different locations. One young single mother and her 2 children came to know the Lord in Gonaives and now they have been coming to church regularly and are growing in their faith! Many others are being followed up with. Most people that attended the matches received an evangelistic booklet called "The Champion". We are still distributing the 40,000 copies of this booklet that we received from One Hope Ministries.

2) We are sponsoring a door-to-door outreach to Leogane this week being done by a group of men from a church in Archaie. We supplied them with lots of literature, Bibles and a video projector and Christian DVD's for them to show films at night. Last night several hundred showed up for one of the films!

3) One of our leaders, Elysee Vaillant participated in an outreach at his girlfriends' church this past weekend. Please pray for Elysee as his father is dying of Prostate cancer, his sister is 8 month's pregnant after being married in 2009, and his house needs a new roof and is leaking badly when it rains.

4) This week we visited the camp ground at Verrettes and the Amputee soccer team is going to use it for their official training when it begins in 2 weeks. It was good to see our leaders there who have had a busy summer receiving the Right-to-Play team and the Corban team.

Thanks for your gifts, prayers and partnership that enable us to be God's hands and feet in Haiti!
