Dear friends,
Warm greetings from Haiti!
We hope this letter finds you well and that the spring is
setting in.
Here are some news from Haiti. From January 27 to
February 10, we had an evangelism team from Ville
Lasalle, in Montreal. Dr. Jalbert from Edmundston came
with them. We did some evangelism in the
Port-au-Prince’s streets and the dentist held a
clinic in different churches. The team members were
surprised to see how many people they were able to lead
to the Lord. In one morning, one of the team members
brought 23 people to the gospel. The dentist pulled out
hundreds of teeth.

We also held a three day youth camp in our yard. On Sunday, the last day of the camp, there were 350 young people and we distributed 700 brand-new pieces of clothes that were donated by a Canadian organization. To give Bible teachings and to feed 350 kids is not easy. Most of them are from very poor families where the single mothers are the breadwinners. We are very excited to see what the Lord is doing. Three and a half months ago, we started with 30 young people and now there are 300. Unfortunately, the size of our yard will limit the growth. We hope soon to purchase land and to build a church.
From February 19 to March
1, Michel gave a course entitled “Introduction
to Missions” at the Bible College in Montreal. He
returned home refreshed both by the cold weather in
Quebec and by his expericence.
We received an American medical team for one evening. We
put aside about ten children for them to examinate, but
100 came to our gate. Unfortunatly they could not treat
them all. Many suffered of boils, ringworms and open
sores due to malnutrition. It shows us how great the need
is.
In our last newsletter, we spoke about Sandra (6 or 7),
our little neighbour who was abandoned in the street by
her mother at the age of three. Our neighbours took her
in and used her as a maid. Sandra was often up at 5:00 in
the morning doing house work. She was mistreated. Two
months ago, she ran away from home for the third time and
nobody has seen her since. Would you please pray for
God’s protection upon her and that she meets some
christians where she is?
We want to thank you for your financial support and your
prayers. May God richly bless you as you labor for him.
Michel & Louise Charbonneau
