Soccer evangelism in the north

Good Friday
Croyance's Visit
If you've been praying for our friends who are up in St. Michel in the north (Elysee and Croyance), THANK YOU. They have been fine/safe. Not just safe, but reaching out too.
Croyance has been up there only a few weeks, but he's already got a couple of things going on.
He has a weekly radio program going. And through the radio, he's organizing a tournament for people in the 8 sections of St. Michel. He's working with 6 pastors and they're going to do evangelism at the tournament. Croyance was here today to borrow soccer equipment for the tournament. Please pray...the tournament will be next week.

Elysee's Birthday & Prayer Request

Saturday, we had a party for Elysee. Feb. 28th was his birthday and he came home to Port-au-Prince for the weekend. His Dad's birthday was Saturday, so we celebrated both. This picture shows Elysee with his Dad and Jenica, Elysee's God-daughter.

We also have a prayer request for him and Croyance.--for their safety in the northern town of St. Michel.

We were so happy that Elysee and Croyance got jobs out in the country and got to leave the troubled area of Bolosse. But, just recently, the UN police began a new tactic. They decided to take over the buildings where the gangs were based in Cite Soleil (ghetto of Port-au-Prince). Although some gang leaders were arrested, some of them got away and fled to other parts of Haiti. We just found out that one of (if not the) most notorious ganster, comes from St. Michel, so he decided to move his whole "army" back there for a while (Between 50 to 100 "soldiers").
