Dear friends,
We hope this letter finds
you encouraged in the work of the Lord. Despite all the
difficulties, we can say: Because of the Lord’s
great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions
never fail. Lam 3/22,23. We had a good Christmas! We
received a gift and we were able to give presents to each
of the kids who came for our Christmas meeting. Soon we
will start a youth meeting. Many of our kids are
teenagers and they cannot identify themselves to the
children. Several who attend have ringworm, scabies and
boils. It is nearly an epidemic. We hope to be able to
find some medical staff to cure them.
This week while Michel was doing visitation, he saw a 20
year old young woman sick and laying on her bed. She
weighs about 70 pounds. She is dying of AIDS. It was a
burdening sight to see her suffering and not being able
to afford any medical attention. He prayed with her and
she gave her life to the Lord. In Haiti, statistics say
that 25% of the population is HIV positive.

In January, the Rocheleau
family from Église Nouvelle Vie in Longueil, Quebec
came to help us. They used their vacation time to serve
the Lord. They painted the walls around our property and
decorated them with some hand painted characters and some
geometric shapes. Our yard has been completely changed!
The kids send their greetings and want to say :
MÈSI ANPIL! (THANK YOU VERY MUCH!) They did visitations
with us. They learned how to go down and to climb the
ravines like real goats!
WOULD YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR :
- Our visas. We want to buy a land and start building a
church.
- A pastor to replace us. Some staff to help us :
nurse, Sunday School teachers, musicians and worship
leaders.
- Our son, Pierre, to receive a positive answer from one
of the Colleges he applied to. Pierre will be leaving us
in July 2,000.
- The four teams to come : one in February, one in
April, one in June and one in August.
- Our son, Max, who suffers of a scalp disease and for
our daughter Naomi who is still sick. We hope the Lord
will heal them.
We want to thank you for your prayers. It is working. Our
phone line is back after over six months of
interruption!!! Thank you for your gifts. 70% of the
population in Haiti is under the age of 17. Without your
support, we would not be able to reach them.
