Dear friends,
We hope you were able to
take some rest during the summer. We are sorry for not
having sent you a report for the two last months, but
three of us were on vacations in Canada and when we
returned home, we were caught by tons of work.
We had the privilege to receive the team "Haiti
'99". They had 34 members from different churches in
Quebec, New-Brunswick and in Ontario. It was an excellent
team. They worked in various areas. The medical team
composed of a dentist, a medical doctor and three nurses
took care of about 1,000 patients. Some evangelized in
the streets and in the ravines. Others went to a jail
where 107 women, children and teenagers were held. Most
of the women attended the meeting. It was so uplifting to
hear them singing and praising with all their hearts.
Their pastor said that a few weeks ago he had just
baptized, in water, 29 of them. In a corner of the
chapel, we improvised a medical clinic. We also handed
out many copies of the book "Prison Chains
Broken" written by Ernie Hollands.

The team members did a
great work. They made 26 benches, 4 tables and a piece of
furniture for the sound system. During the six day youth
camp, the teachings were very fun and colored. A clown
cheered up the kids and we were able to feed hundreds of
them. When it was time to say good-bye, we were sad and
thought how good it would be to have a team like that to
work with us full time. They really marked the kids
lives.
This year, Pierre, Max and Louise took vacations in
Quebec. They helped our daughter Naomi who is still sick.
Please pray for her healing. It is so sad for her to have
to lay in bed or on the couch all day knowing that she
cannot accomplish anything. While visiting some people
living in the ravine behind our house, Michel has broken
his right hand. He spent three weeks in a cast. He is
healed but it still hurts.
In closing, we would like to say that without your
spiritual and financial help, it would not be possible
for us to work here. Thank you for your faithful support.
WOULD YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR :
- Our visas and permit to stay in the country.
- A pastor to replace us when we go on home
assignment in the year 2,000.
- One or two Volunteers in Mission to join our
team.
Michel & Louise Charbonneau
