A church service in Allegre, Haiti.

   Good day to you all, I thought I should snap some pictures of the church service yesterday and share a little bit how it all went.
   Pastor Levy felt a call to preach and teach on the life after Christ saves us, his message was all about, living the way Jesus lived when he was here. Sharing how he was tempted and how that isn't sin but giving into the temptations is sin. He told us that moving from church to church looking for the one that fits us best is wrong, we need to look for Christ, and where He leads that is the best place, and we can rely on the fact that He leads us to where He knows will be best for us. No church building can save, no religion, but only the true God.
   He shared that when God comes on the scene it must change a person or else he is not changed by Jesus but by some other thing, and that the fruits will show more and more as we grow. And how that no matter what kind of people we are, no matter what nationality we are, we are called to be missionaries, challenging us if we are doing that. He spoke to the young people, why they seem to become Christians but are unwilling to give up their old life and live like Jesus. He asked if the older sisters are out there doing what the Bible commands, teaching the younger. 
   I was so thrilled to hear that. I am waiting for God to sweep through the church here, and the people rising up to be men and women who follow Christ 100% and even go forth to other lands. There is no other way, if it's isn't happening it is a dead church and nothing good will come from it and will fall apart. Pray and ask God with us that He would do a great work here in the Allegre church,

Notice how packed it is? There is huge potential, but we need teachers, we are longing for a family to rise up and come work with the pastors, with the people. So that it doesn't become a Sunday gathering place. Can you see the missionaries sitting inside?????? I mean Haitian missionaries. Missionaries that are sitting in there waiting for teaching and training so that they can be sent out among their own and also abroad. O the potential.

Remember they don't come from a back round surrounded by church and Bible, they didn't grow up going to Sunday school, they didn't have the teaching and preaching most of us grew up with. They grew up with voodoo, devil worship and demon possession and as the only thing they know, sorrow, hardship, evil was and to many still is the only thing they know. I am burdened how many people are praying for laborer's to rise up and go into the foreign field, but I'm much afraid many are suppressing the fact that God is calling "them", but it's such a huge surprise that we don't believe that, and people go on dying without Christ.

This is a shot of the outside, usually there are lots that need to sit outside because of the lack of room. Maybe I'll let you into a secret. We're getting excited that we might start building a new church gathering place, one that will keep the rain out and have room for all of us inside!!!!!!!!!!!!
