DTS Outreach to Haiti

We arrived in Haiti last Sunday and have spent the first week conducting evangelistic outreaches with the YWAM Haiti base. We have shared the gospel through dramas, testimonies and preaching to over 1000 people during our first week. One of the most memorable sites was the local jail in St. Marc. The cells are designed to hold 4-5 people but each one has 30+ in them!!! There are no beds and the prisoners have to sleep on the floor that is not big enough for all of them to lay down on at one time. They listened attentively to our presentation from behind their cell doors as no one is allowed outside except for 10 minutes per day to shower. It is a place you would never want to return to as a prisoner.
We have also shared in several public schools and parks. We have drawn crowds at each location and have seen a few people accept the Lord. One lady was from another town over the hills that surround St. Marc and she just happened to be in the area we were at sharing the gospel. She gave her heart to Christ and I was reminded of the 1 lost sheep that was found while the 99 remained.
We will be in Haiti until November 17 and we will be working with YWAM Haiti and a church.
Next week we will be visiting 8 villages near St. Marc. These areas are very poor and are heavily influenced by voodoo. The pastor we are working with was threatened by witch doctors and told at gun point to not share the gospel or he would be killed. He told them his life was in God's hands and they could not control him. He has remained faithful to share the gospel and has seen many people come to Christ.
Please pray for our DTS students as we continue to share the gospel and bear fruit for the Kingdom.
