• Quebec — We had a great month serving the Lord in the field of witnessing. We always enjoy seeing new visitors come through the church door. We have a group of young girls who have been involved in studying the Word every week. Others had finished their study on the ABCs of Christian growth. The Lord has blessed us with visitors, and we are very appreciative. We also pray that the Lord will send more laborers into our field to fill the void for the work.
We have an 88-year-old man, M. Bernier, in a wheelchair who wants to attend church on Sunday. However, since his daughter, who is supposed to pick him up, doesn’t show up at his apartment, it has been four weeks since he last had a ride to church, and it is hard for him. He loves his church, enjoys praying, singing and fellowship with the people. We don’t have a vehicle adapted for him, and the public service company has not yet processed his application for transportation. So, I visit him every Monday afternoon, discuss the Sunday messages with him, sing some songs with him and talk about the Lord. He is lonely, and he is looking for me to come and talk to him, reassure him that the Lord is coming soon. Pray for him.
• Haiti — All roads in the Capital are under the command of gangs who charge fees to those who travel in the country. We have a lady from our church who left for Haiti a few days ago. She arrived, but after traveling with much difficulty and prayer. She contacted her husband yesterday and asked him to find her police protection because she is afraid for her life. Her husband contacted me and asked for help. So, I got on WhatsApp and called Supervisor Ali, a friend in a high position in the Port-au-Prince police force. He told me he would try to find her and provide her safety.
You wonder why go to Haiti now? The decision she took was to see her mother for the last time before she passed away. Her mother is old and sick. At the same time, for her trip, she brought with her some relief funds to help our church people, but at the same time, she is vulnerable facing the gangs in every corner, demanding money. At church this past month, four families have been beaten and chased from their homes by the gangs. They fled into the mountains with only the clothes on their backs. They left everything behind, but they are also glad to be alive together with the children. They may have lost everything, but they did not lose their love for the Lord. It was a big loss for the church of Pastor Mario, who asked for prayers for those families. Additionally, Pastor Mario thanks everyone who contributes to providing the means to purchase food for the people at church each month.
• Ivory Coast (Gonaté) — The church is going through a time of sickness, and they asked for prayers for the people. Evangelization is going well, two people accepted the Lord as their savior last week and have begun a study on “What to do now that I’m saved.”
• Dominican Republic — Our Haitians who are in the Dominican Republic are safe at home, staying away from the Dominican authority for fear of deportation back to Haiti. They assemble every week at the home and listen to the message I send them during the week. They request prayer.
• Beni — With our Brother Prince, soul winning is going well, many gospel tracks have been handed out to the people, and the community is listening to the message. There is severe opposition from certain Muslim groups who throw stones at them, trying to stop their work in the area. Pray for Brother Prince.
Thank you for your prayers and sacrifice for those ministries the Lord has bestowed on us. May the Lord bless you richly and give you much love for those who suffered.
