Hello Everyone!
Yesterday was a very successful day with Crusades we are working with, Gonaives and St. Marc. However, we had our challenges getting to Gonaives and then back home.
Yesterday, Monday, we were able to get the sound working properly again. This wasn’t easy after the sabotage that had happened the day before. Even by afternoon when I was laving for Gonaives the sound guys felt it was pretty well repaired, but still were not 100% sure that there wasn’t something that still might have been hidden.
As I left for Gonaives I had understood that everything was coming together and then! Yes, and then! I notice the car was getting hot. Just before entering Gonaives, some distance away yet the car seemed to have unexpectantly blown a head gasket, leaking the radiator coolant in to the cylinder, thus causing the motor to over heat. About the same time Jemimah, a girl with us, began to feel ill. We were able to find some water from a truck driver that happened by that knew me and limped our way into Gonaives an hour behind schedule only to have a flat just before getting to the Crusade sight.
When we got to the Crusade sight I was tired, but was looking forward to preaching as I felt God had given me a word. However more set backs began to hit us. The brand new generator that was recently donated to the mission was not producing current correctly and thus we were no able to get the sound to work or lights. By 6:30pm, through some Texan make do, I was able to rig everything to maintain so the Crusade could go on.
With no time to go some where to change cloths I stood behind our car, while Wayne (My son), stood look out and change on the site. Pierre-Richard was with me and did the same.
Finally everything was working ad I was able to have about 20 minutes to collect my thoughts again and pray. “Lord, it will be all you tonight, none of me!” With Pierre-Richard at my side, TV Camera on LIVE and people standing in front, hungry to hear something fresh and new I began to speak.
I can’t say when, but at some point we began to feel the breaking in the spiritual realm. All the cares of last night and that day were lost in the dusty dark night sky as the lights blinded us to the point of inability to see the crowd. As the message came to a closure, a strong message against idolatry and broken covenants, the people present joined me in the dirt field on their knees. We had a time of asking God to forgive our sins and the sins of Gonaives and heal the land.
I began to see some of the people through the shadows on their knees, a man with a suit giving up the thought of dirtying his cloths, women in nice dresses, and then I realized everyone had joined me. The Pastors behind me on stage were also on their knees! PTL! We had a good time of seeking God in humility for divine intervention.
Just after our meeting I received a call from Lubens in St. Marc. The Crusade went perfect, sound, lights, music and the message was very powerful! The crowd had also grown in size. It appeared we had somewhere around 4800 in attendance, plus the TV and two live radio broadcasts.
God is moving! I would ask that you continue to pray for tonight. We are attempting to display the event though a webcam set up at the arena in St. Marc. You may try and log on to join us if you like. I will be sending the address to go in a separate email.
Upcoming things to pray for are a united Pastors gathering in Port-Au-Prince tomorrow at 1:00pm central USA time. It will be in coordination with Promise Keepers. We will be participating. Also, Thursday morning at 9:00am we will be back in the Presidential Palace for yet another time of powerful prayer with a special invitation that has been given to our Kings Kids, lead by Maula-Jean Marie, from Gonaives. They will be performing “Freedom” once more.
Please pray for equipment, safety and health. The enemy is fighting, but we will NOT be stopped!
