We were asked to move out of our house

Hello friends and family,

I know my blogs aren't usually this formal, but this is a emergency situation. Our neighbor had a problem with us having a revival next to their house. This revival happened about a month ago. The neighbors were rude about it and they had a dispute with Ti Paul. Ti Paul was just defending me and my family. Now we are asking for help, we need help to make the first floor of the house so that we can have somewhere to go. Any of you who feel it on your heart to help, we would really appreciate it. Our prayers and our love is with you. We had a earthquake a year ago and it destroyed a retaining wall, we haven't had running water in 2 years. We have suffered for Christ these past 2 years but they have been good. God has really shown himself to us the past 2 years. We appreciate all of the support you have given to us in the past. My family is praying for you and what you will do for us and for our organization.

Love,
Lance, Mona, Angie, Ti Paul, Donald, and family

Baby is born

Hello everyone the baby is born. This was a long and trying time. Mona was due on the 26th of March, so then we went to her doctor to see if the baby would be delivered on that day. But as many things with God it wasn't her time. Now at this time I started to hear all kinds of voices telling me what to do and what we should do. But we don't need to listen to those people we need to listen to God. I prayed one night on the bedroom floor of the master bath. That night God told me that Mona was going to be okay and she was going to be okay and she wouldn't need a C-section. Mona had a dream that night too and God told her that same thing. But since we are human we always think that we can do it somehow. So mona went to every hospital in the area because her family was worried about her and didn't have enough faith that this doctor would deliver her. But that was not the case. After this Mona came back home for 2 nights it was nice for me. But on April 4th the day after my birthday we all went to get Mona another ultrasound. After that ultrasound we bought shots to induce my wife for the next day and other medicine. Then the next day Mona went to the clinic at the doctor's house. The doctor gave her the shot then had her walk around the house. Then when she sat down her water broke. Then she had the baby an hour or an hour and a half. Then about a hour later she called me to come see the baby because I get a little weird around a lot of blood. Then I was so happy to see our new son come into the world it was truly a miracle. I couldn't stop thanking God that he didn't and that when you don't stop losing faith, he will answer you. As it says in Psalm 1:2-3: "But they delight in the law of the Lord meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." (NLT) This is what I learned if we delight in the bible and meditate on it day and night we will be successful in all that we do and Jesus will hear our prayers and he will go to the Father for us. I thank God for this deliverance and I thank all of you praying for Mona and our family and Hope in the Light Ministry to help us grow as a ministry. We call you our family and keep our supporters in our hearts wherever we go. We thank you and May God Bless all of you and your families.

new work

Hello everyone. I know it has been a long time but I have been really busy with groups, and the baby. I pray this receives you well. Keep us in your prayers we really need them. It can be hard to live here and when all of you write me on facebook and send me emails it shows me and my family that you aren't far away. Without the prayers and support of all of you none of this work would be possible. We appreciate all the love support and sense of community and family you give to our family here in Haiti. We have started a work in Furcy a small village in the mountains of Haiti. This was the first area we went to when we were thinking about starting an organization in Haiti. There are many families in need and many of these families can not take care of their own kids. This will be one area we will take some of the kids for our orphanage in Boucan. In Haiti most of the kids at the orphanage their parents can no longer take care of them. We have had families come to our steps of our door and offer their children to us because they can not take care of them. This is a very sad situation but it is what we can do to fulfill the will of God for our lives here in Haiti. The work we are doing is a work in progress we are going to start a church in this area and also a church shortly after that. This is part of the broader vision Hope in the Light Ministry has for Haiti. The vision is to spread the gospel all over Haiti. This is a broader vision I had already thought of before Pastor Jason Hutchinson of Mountain Community Fellowship had mentioned it to me. But it is a divine vision that God has placed in me to accomplish his vision for us. Please if you are interested please contact Hope in the Light Ministry we always look forward to hearing from all of you.
