Tony was in an accident yesterday. He was on his motorcycle when another motorcycle pulled out into his path. He sustained a broken collar bone, broken ribs, lacerations to his legs and his head. He was knocked out so doesn’t remember much after the impact. From the local hospital he was transported to the best […]

Even during all the unrest and with most missions closed, our mountain ministry hasn’t missed a beat. We are still able to lead the 3 churches and continue with children’s programs. The difficult issue is trying to help the mountain people with some food, as hunger has become a real problem. Yesterday was our first […]

If there is any land that needs healing other than our own [Canada], it is this island of Haiti. I have been here 12 years and I can assure you I have never felt tension in the air like I have during this last week. There has been no public transportation for the last 5 […]

Because of the difficulty in reaching some people where they live, I hire a brother and his donkey to ride around the mountain tops with a megaphone inviting people to come watch the King of Glory film in Haitian Creole. Some walked 2 hours to attend our outreach because they heard the megaphone. Approximately 75% of the […]

Things are very tense throughout Haiti and there are areas that are downright dangerous even for Haitians. The unrest is mostly political and is especially affecting travel and commerce. Some of the larger cities are running out of food and I am afraid that will only fuel the violence. Here in the mountains, however, things […]

Pray for Haiti as the entire country starts to celebrate Fete des Mort (Day of the Dead). This will go on till November 2nd. It begins tonight with what they call “Bizando.” The local radio stations are telling the adults to make sure their kids are off the street tonight, as this group of voodoo […]

Tragic events take place every day in this country. Last week, a boy from the mountain fell down a cliff and broke his arm. I am told it took 14 hours for the family to get him to the hospital. The doctors, like everyone else in this country, had not been paid for 3 months, […]

The Bible Studies at our house continue to go well. We have opened these times up to our neighbors and their friends. Usually we have 4-5 adults and 8 children in attendance. Surprisingly, some of the school aged children are the most attentive! Once we have a place to meet other than our front porch […]

Haiti has once again erupted into chaos. Gasoline and diesel prices went up 50% and the people are taking to the streets. The main highway that runs through the country was blocked. Tires burning, guns going off, just another day for these struggling people. The entire country is shut down, so let’s pray that there […]

We are excited about the God we serve and we have been enjoying the weekly Bible Studies centered on His attributes. At this point there are a few who are regularly attending; most of whom are non-churchgoers with backgrounds in Catholicism & Voodoo. What a tremendous opportunity God has given us to speak the Word […]

We held a Bible Study on our front porch! We invited our neighbours and will see where God leads from there. Michael is teaching on the Attributes of God, an important subject, to help them know and understand who God is, worship Him, and live for Him. Pray that the Lord would guide. […]

One year after we started a church in the mountain, half of the kids that attend the public school are coming to Sunday school. The director of the public school noticed a difference in the behavior of the students that come to Sunday school and asked if we could come to the school once a […]
