Trip, School and stuff

Hello everyone it has been quite awhile since I have written a blog. So the wait is over, I will break my silence now. Donald and Majorie are going to have a chance to study at a U.S. Boarding school!!!! Thanks to Lori Underwood who referred me to check out Oneida Bible Institute. God is Good, all the time!!!

Many things happened on our time in the U.S. we were able to go to from Miami to Hilton Head, South Carolina. We stayed with some friends of ours there for the night. Then the next morning we left to drive 12 hours to Williamson, WV. We stayed in the area for 2 weeks then made our way to St. Louis, MO where the founders of Project 58(www.project58.org) live. They are helping with getting support for the construction for the Hope in the Light school building. From St. Louis we went to Minneapolis, MN where we met one of our board members Steve Jacobs and his family. We stayed there about a week, we really enjoyed staying there we went to the zoo, I went to Target Field (the twins baseball field), and a hot air balloon ride. It was a great time. We went from there to my college town Alva, OK. While we were they we spoke at an Art counsel at Northwestern Oklahoma State University( my ama mauter). It was good to see friends and talk to people about Haiti. From there we made our way to Corpus Christi, TX where we saw my family and visited churches that feel like home to us. From there we went to Mobile, Alabama where we stayed the night and after that we made our way to Miami. We missed our first flight so we flew out the next day with a few problems but God got us back here to Haiti. The Devil couldn't stop us!!!

Keep Donald and Majorie in your prayers that everything will go smoothly, that we can find a sponsor for them. Please also keep Hope in the Light and all of our projects in your prayers. We really appreciate all of the support, prayers, and encouragement we receive from all of you. Take care. God Bless all of you.

Orphanage and other stuff

Hello everyone I know it has been awhile. But we have been really busy here in Haiti. We finished the orphanage. We had a small construction team come and put the roof on the orphanage. We are also working on an apartment for the future directors. We also have a school on our basketball court. So things have been moving along and it was a real blessing to have Pastor Jason Hutchinson, and Pastor Darrell here to do the pastor's conference here at our home church. We have been blessed by the groups coming. They have given us a lot of useful advice that will help us for the future. If you are interested in coming then please let us know email me at ramones225@gmail.com. For information, brochures, and any other literature just email the executive director Ralph Ware at midonde@hotmail.com.

The school is growing and we are praying for the school to be full next year. We have about 120 to 130 students in our school right now we are hoping to have closer to 200 students next year. Keep us in your prayers we really need them. We will be leaving for the U.S. in late July so if you would like to us to stop by please contact me. Thanks and God Bless.

Things are really coming along

We have been really busy that is why I haven't been able to blog. I pray that all of you that read this will get something out of this. My father and a evangelist friend Tallat Mohammed came in on March 26. Tallat helped us at our revival. We had about 10 salvations during this revival. It was a really great to see God moving. God was here in every service. We thank all of you who support us and please keep us in your prayers we will need them.

We had a group from Alabama they put the roof on our orphanage. We also had 2 people from West Virginia Bobby Edwards, and Rudy Slater. They really blessed us when they were here. We also started our school this past Monday and the kids will keep coming in. We just really pray that all of you will help in anyway you can.

It has been hard to go see my cousins in Port Au Prince because our organization can't help the way we would like to. But we know that God will provide everything for what we need to do. I was ordained while Tallat was here. It is a great privilege to be called Pastor Lance. It is something that has been on my mind for quite a while. All of us need to keep our heads up and know that God will provide for us. God Bless you all.

Mesidor

Today started out like any ordinary day. But my father and a evangelist friend of mine Tallat Mohammed were here visiting. My friend Tallat wanted to see some of the devastation. So I thought okay I have my cousins who live in Port au Prince and they can show you some of the devastation and my cousins in the area will guide us through the destruction.
One of my cousins lost part of his leg during the earthquake. When I had been there before I didn't get to see him. His name is Mesidor. We had been praying for him since the earthquake on January 12th. I was so amazed about how he was still in such high hopes. I couldn't really understand how someone who had lost just about everything still could show love to his family that is not blood related.
I was so happy to see him when I got there. I hugged him a couple of times because I haven'tbeen able to help him since the earthquake. So we went to the tents where my family has been staying since the earthquake on January 12th. My father went to the side and was happyto see the family in the area. So Tallat and I went to sit with my cousin mesidor, we took a few pictures because I had been wanting some pictures with him for a long time. A moment later my friend Tallat started talking to Mesidor about the lord. I tried to translate as best as I could through creole which is not my official second language but I know how to speak in it well enough to get by in this country.
As we kept going it was like the power of God really came on Tallat and we brought Mesidor, his fiance Elena to the lord and a few people in the area to the lord.
One of the first things Tallat said was "Mesidor, this body is not the real Mesidor, the real mesidor is inside you, your spirit. Nobody's perfect, we all aren't perfect, but Jesus forgives us of all of our sins," Tallat Said. He later went on to have Mesidorsay the sinner's prayer with a few other people near him.
It was an amazing site and the funny thing was that Tallat didn't remember even what he said. God does work in mysterious ways. God is good all the time. It was an emotional time for all of us who were in the family. My wife had spoke to Mesidor about Jesus a week before and he didn't accept Jesus that day.
But it took a little man from Guyana to lead him to the lord. Praise God and Regions Beyond Evangelism.

orphanage started

The past week has been hard. But we are slowly getting on our feet.
It is just funny how God works. Right when you think things aren't working out he does something.
Right when you need it. That is how I feel in Haiti sometimes. I feel a little lost but God guides me to find the path.
He guides me of where to go. The orphanage is just getting started. We started bringing up
the supplies yesterday. We started the work week today. Pray that we can use the money wisely.
Help is slowly coming in but we know god will bless our organization, and bless us in multitudes.
Faith is something we have to let God do the work that he needs us to do without us interfering.
There are many needs for us as missionaries and also for the Haitian people.
We thank you for all of the help you are giving and all the future help that is coming through you.
Our prayers are with all of you.

God is moving 5 salvations last night

I am really glad to be back in Haiti. I felt uncomfortable while I was in Florida because we couldn't spend enough time with the people we cared about. It was hard Monday and Tuesday because of lack of sleep. But last night was amazing because we had a lady accept Jesus and 4 kids accepted Jesus. This is really amazing to see what God is doing in Haiti. It is easier for people to accept Jesus in Haiti because they need him. There is desperation in this country for an answer. People here and all over the world need Jesus. That is what I will leave you with today. God Bless all of you.

Back home in Haiti

It is good to finally get back here after the long day my family and I just had. We started at 3:45 this morning. I slept for about 2 and a half hours, then was woke up by a friend. He was worried my family and I would miss our flights so his dad got up at 3:00 and made sure that we were up. We were able to leave by 4:30 this morning and arrived in Tampa international airport by 5:30 after we returned the rental car, we made our way inside to check our bags. We checked 4 bags plus a car seat. Then we made our way onto the plane then went to Miami. We arrived in Miami and then about an hour later we left and were on our way to Haiti. Keep us in your prayers. A few needs we have if any of you have laptop computers you would like to donate or would like to purchase one for Hope in the Light it would be appreciated.
