Today was our first full day in Haiti, as we spent all day yesterday traveling. Our morning started with a delicious breakfast by Madam Damus. She served us hard boiled eggs, homemade bread, fresh mango and keylime juice. The team then met with Crystal & Stephana to talk about our plans for the retreat that will take place over the next 3 days. We walked to the community center and decided how to set up the room for the teaching and pampering times. Once back to our base we filled the gift bags (cloth bags donated by MCC) that will be handed out to the ladies on the final day of the retreat (Saturday).
After lunch (chicken, rice and beans, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and pikliz) we all took a nap (since the first night was not very restful for most of us) and then we took a walk up the mountain to the lookout point and to meet some women that we wanted to invite to the retreat. While praying for a sweet, older woman, a crowd of children had gathered around us on the steep hillside. Crystal noticed one boy in the crowd whose eyes were blood shoot… the whites of his eyes were completely red. When our translator, Jonny, asked a woman what had happened to him, we were told that his mother had taken a cord and wrapped it around his neck to choke him. This had happened days before and the boy looked fearful when Jonny questioned him if he felt safe in his home. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever seen… this young boy was about the age of my oldest grandson. I was fearful for him, but had no clue how to help. Marti and I laid hands on him and prayed for him while surrounded my more than a dozen other children. Marti prayed for healing and that the whites of his eyes would be restored. She also proclaimed that God has a purpose for his life that he would grow to be a godly man and live his life for the Lord. I had to excuse myself from the team when we returned to the base and just sit in the bathroom and cry for awhile. The sight of this young boy will stay with me and I will continue to pray for his situation. I also pray if God allows it, that we would have time later this week to go back up that mountain to check on him again. Please join us in prayer for Fednor and for his mother.
Thank you all for your continued prayers on our behalf. We ask that our first day of the women’s retreat goes smoothly tomorrow and that God would bring the women who need to hear Marti’s story of God’s healing power and redemption.
Tess, thank you for your honest transparency. We that read this blog are united in prayer for you. I pray that you can remain focused to serve and that you continue to stay open to God's sovereign appointments for you. May our Great Physician touch and heal this young boy...and May the gospel in its full power reach this family and change the circumstances at hand. Giving thanks for the redeeming work in Salvation. Thank you sweet girls. God has so much work for you. He has equipped each of you by His Spirit. Waiting with thanksgiving to see the move of God.

ReplyDeleteMy life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases ... Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetis, Fribroid, recover your ex.
