Wow! Six of us just returned from an amazing trip to Haiti. Myself (Michael brewer), Andrea Puckett, Eva Rimback, Wendell Redman, Brad Houser, and Doug Frye. We got in around 6am on Sunday morning, May 9th. I will be posting the full results of the entire trip very soon, but I just wanted to share the following story from our journey.

While Eva and Wendell were doing leadership training at a church, Andrea and myself left to do some remote-area evangelism in a nearby village with our Haitian interpreters. When we crossed over a small stream to enter the village, we could feel the atmosphere change around us. We saw a small school made out of coconut leaves and poles. We went in and encouraged the teachers and children to surrender there lives to Jesus. We had 48 children accept Jesus in the school. We also ministered outside to adults who were interested. As we walked on down the small path to visit some homes, we decided to visit the local Voodoo priest at his home/the temple to share the Gospel with him, but he was not there. So we continued down the path. While walking, we heard some singing and chanting nearby. So we went to check it out, and right before us, there were about 35 people in the middle of a Voodoo ceremony with the calm, cold priest sitting there overseeing it all.

As we approach the worshipers, we asked if we were welcome. The priest  said yes and sent for us some chairs. For the next twenty or thirty minutes, we shared the Gospel from Genesis to the resurrection of Jesus with all of them. At the end when we called them to repentance, the Priest asked us to pray for him that God would give him a dream because that is how he hears from the spirits!  We told him we would pray for that and for the Lord to reveal Himself to him. Then they all kneeled down before us, and we laid hands and prayed over the people and bound the spirits that were  blinding their eyes and deceiving them.

We later found out that this Priest was the “top dog” in this area for all the Voodoo. We’re believing God for his repentance and salvation and that all the others will follow his lead. Continue to pray for him; his name is John. God opened up their hearts to receive the message we brought, and we are believing God to continue to work on them and the entire village!
