New Life!!





 Spent the day yesterday going to a seminar up in the mountains in a place called Oriani or Pine forest.. Seemed like we left haiti and went to another country. I have never seen such beauty in Haiti, it was freezing! I shivered all day long. It was a long 4 hr ride there, and then 4hrs back home. We had a good time, and appreciate the people of CAM who invited us.
 Jessica and I came home so tired, fell into bed around 10:30, to get a call at 11;00, one of our workers sister was in labor!!
 After waiting all night, a beautiful baby girl was born at 5:45 am.. After some much needed coffee, we are hoping to get a little nap today! Thankful that the Lord helped everything go smoothly!

Happy Easter! We hope you all have had a good easter celebration! We had two people get baptized here during the easter service!
 Wanted to update you on the clinic washing machine project! We now have $350 towards the washing machine! We need a total of $850!!
 Please keep our patients in your prayers, we are seeing more and more cases of Hiv, Aids and TB. So many people are hurting. This week I was able to spend over 30 minutes witnessing with one of them.

March Mania!!

 

It has been a very week here in the clinic. We have had one accident right after the other. Friday night was spent suturing and cleaning wounds from a knife fight amongst young guys. All this week we have seen some really bad cases.

 It is the time of year that the "Ra Ra" celebrates, and unfortunatly we had a nice young man from our neighborhood, killed this week as a result of the ra ra. Please keep his family in your prayers.

 Please pray for "june" a young girl who came in this morning all banged up, with gas burns on her arms and leg, she was on a motorcyle yesterday with two other adults and a small child coming home from kindergarden, when a cement mixer, ran into them. The mixer chopped the small child up, instantly flipped the moto, the choffer and other adult died, "june" was the only survivor.

 We were able to talk to her today about the Lord and His grace in sparing her life.

 It is very dangerous here to ride motorcycles, but for most it is there only way of transportation. 

New Addition!!
 The Hess family has a new addition to its family. It weighs just a few ounces, is furry and chirps an awful lot! Emma found a stray baby chic and has adopted it as her own!. She is feeding it cornmeal and water, and keeping watch that the dogs dont devour it!

Busy, yet productive sunday!!
 We had 10 in our new convers class today, and had a young girl accept christ just after class. Her name is Rose, please keep her in your prayers.
 Had a wonderful service, and a young man was saved during the service.  Yesterday, I was able to lead my next door neighbor to the Lord.
 This week we have had 14 people accept Christ!! God is at work.  Tomorrow is Monday, back to the clinic!!

We have had a very very busy day, but very productive.  Seven people were saved in evangelism today! One of which was a patient of ours at the clinic. He has just had an operation in november. I had been witnessing to him in the clinic, but he had not made a decision yet. Today was His day of salvation! He accepted Christ as his saviour today! He is in his 70's, and right after getting saved informed us that he had a house about 1 hour from here in the mountains, where he went to conduct voodoo ceromonies. He asked that we go help him get rid of it all! After a busy day evangelism, we were tired, but would never let that opprotunity pass by! We loaded up, and drove the 1 hour up the mountain, to a small house out in the middle of nowhere, where he went to spend months on end, sacrificing to the devil. A place where his children had never even been!
 We arrived around 1:30 and it took until around 4 to completly take everything out of the house, and to burn it all! What a moment it was, to see this man so late in his life accept Jesus, and decide to take another road!  Please keep him in your prayers, the road ahead will not be easy, but our God is Faithful!!
