Imagine going to a city that you have been to many times. But then you go to the bad part of town and you look at where the poorer people live. At first you might be afraid to go there. But when you get there, you find out that you actually have a heart for the people of thisarea and you are determined to help them no matter what. This is what happened to me today.
In an area called Juvernat me, Pastor Clairmont, and Pastor Enock, Ivisited a church that is basically dying. The pastor no longer can take care of this parish anymore and has been hungry for 5 days. When Iheard this it almost made me cry. We had given him a little bit of money because it touched our hearts to help him. This is a place surrounded by buildings. It reminds me of an area in Port Au Prince called Route St. Martin. I couldn't help that area but this area maybe able to accomplish the vision God has given me. You never know what God is going to do. Many times we think we know what we want but we actually don't. He knows what is bettter for us. We are also working on taking over a church in Boucan. This is going to be a lot of work but we know God will help us accomplish it.
Through the leading of the Holy Spirit we are able to accomplish many things. We just need to be willing to do the work. I had been discouraged this past few months because we hadn't really been doing anything. But when we I decided to step out and trust God for the answer he did it.
We just need to do the work that he has called us to do. Keep the faith and step out and he will do the work that he called us to do.

Needs for HLM and future
This past week we received 72 boxes from Love a Child. That was a real blessing. We gave food at a remote village in the mountains of Haiti in an area called Robin. The families there are very desperate for anyone to help them because the government does not help this area at all. We are praying that God will help us start a school and church in this area. Keep praying that God will make a way and Jesus Christ will be glorified.
We have been having spirit filled services here at our Hope in the Light Church. It has been very encouraging to see the young people blossom through the truth of Jesus Christ. We have started a men's group and it has been great. Me as a pastor have been blessed greately to hear the men of the church and their needs. It makes me feel less disconnected from them. It helps me know that I am not alone in many of the problems that I have are the problems of many other men. Jesus gets all of the glory because I don't deserve any credit for this group it is all God. For all of you who are out there reading this please keep this group in your prayers God has been using me and the leaders of the group greatly. To God ge the glory.
We are looking at some land in the area for our church. We would also like to have a school so that students in the area may have a chance to have a christian education. It is vital to our church and to the children in the area. The building is a need because some people will not come to our church because it is being held in our garage. We know that God will make a way for us he always does. I have the vision that God has given me but I need to be patient with him to be able to accomplish his vision and not my own.
School started this past week but many of the students did not come. We are encouraged that they will come this week. I pray the support can grow so that we maybe able to have a high school for all of the students in the area that don't have a chance to go to school or the money to go to school. Thank you for all of your support and prayers.God Bless you all.
