A Letter from Pastor Opont, Delmas 32,
Port au Prince, Haiti

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ,

 

            It’s a so great pleasure for me to write you to day just to get you inform about my family and the Lord’s ministry in Haiti. Here we are already at the end of this year. My family and I had a wonderful year. My first  son, Emerson had a sickness that disturbed my family a lot but thanks to God he is doing fine and we do praise him for that and do thank all of you who have been praying for us. As for the church, we also praise him who allowed us to accomplish the front part and now we have been praying for the back. For that most of us had made lot of sacrifice like   to stay without eating to contribute again in this work. Last October 24th  we had another meeting together to reengage to contribute again with at least $500 Haitian from December to July because we ask God to make us destroy the back that was not build for  church and start rebuild it by June 15th. We also had a week of prayers about that during the first week of November where we had message about Haggai 1 and 2 in this circumstance.

            We had another meeting with the board of the church on  the 20 of November and concluded with this decision, to write directly to some friends  to see if they can help us as they can from January to July 2010 to July. We’re going to start the work in June. The total cost was 25,000US and we have already had the 5,000. In Delmas 32 we do know how difficult it’s everywhere, however if God allows you to see a way to contribute to his work in this way, we’re waiting for your answer by January 15th to know if we can depend on your help in this way for his glory.

The children at school are doing fine. They are in exams and will free on December 23 for Christmas vacation and will go back on the first Monday of January. Please Pray for them.

Very close to us in February we had another meaningful activity that require money, its an activity with the youths of the church every years in this period the we  always support the fees at church but because of the construction the church is out of money this coming February to support this activity. In Haiti on those dates:  We have carnival and in Haiti because of the belief of most of us in the voodoo, the evil religion in Haiti, they make those dates evil activities and lot of bad show in the street and on TV. Every year we took our youths at church out of the city. This year we will bring them in Port Salut, a little and quiet city in the south of Haiti, 6 hours drive. We will have about 40 youths with us to rent a bus and to feed them from February 13th to February 17th. There, we normally have everyday devotion from 5:00 to 7:00 AM,  a first conference from 9:00 AM to 12:00PM , a second conference from 2:00 to 4:00PM and worship service from 6:00 to 8:00PM. And in the last day one conference with activities to recreate, thing that the youths love a lot. Therefore it’s always a blessings and a lot of testimonies from the youths about how God deal with their hearts and change them and also a blessing for the church. Therefore, we also share that with you. If God put in your heart to help with this activity, don’t hesitate to do so and whatever cent will be greatly appreciated and that could also be done by January 15, before the 13th of February. Anyway you can help in any of these activities, please feel free to do so God bless you back richly.

 

In Christ, Pastor Prévil Opont   


Note from Don: If you would like to help with the building project or have any questions, please feel free to call me at 443.564.1407 , Thanks!

Vacation  a Lifetime!

    
We are currently discussing the possibility of a group trip in early February or March. This will be an "awareness" trip. The reasonfpr these trips is to give you REAL information to share with others about our ministry in Haiti.

     This trip requires a minimum of 8 people plus Mike and Don. For some this may be late notice but we will plan another trip for three months after.

If you are interested, shoot me an email
don_rowley@yahoo.com with your name, telephone and best time to call. I'll call you to discuss the particulars.

Don
