The World Cup has begun and millions of Americans have watched the US battle England today on their big screen TV’s. But in Haiti, millions of people do not own television sets, let alone the “home entertainment” systems so popular in the US now.
So, thanks to some visionary donors, I purchased 5 video projectors on my last trip to the US and now we are using them to show the World Cup games to hundreds of people, as well as share the Gospel with them.
Our strategy is simple: We ask members of the churches we are working with to invite a non-Christian friend to watch the game with them, and then give them a beautiful booklet that explains who Jesus is that is specially made for the World Cup 2010. Each church member then follows up with their friend and does friendship evangelism with them. Since there are 64 matches, each match we encourage different members of the church to bring a friend, thereby exposing the maximum number of people to the Gospel.
So far we have 3 installations up and working and by next week we hope to have a total of 7 in place before the end of next week (using two old projectors I had in Haiti already).
The picture shows our team in Jacmel getting ready to take the projector setup to an outlying church.
Today we got permission to use a large room under “Place Jeremie”, a large public park where they play all of Haiti’s Futsal games. We are going to show the matches each day and do evangelism with the help of members of Tabernacle Church, one the largest UEBH churches in Port-au-Prince.
Please pray for these outreaches!
