With the ever-present depravity of Haiti constantly looming
heavy on our hearts and minds, we are so grateful when the Lord offers His
calming, joy filled breath on our lives and those we call friends and
neighbors.
Many of you, remember my friend/Godson/Haitian little
brother, Ti Papa. He and his beautiful wife
experienced a life altering loss, which few can relate too, in early 2015. Watching Ti Papa and Manoucheka fight through
grief, questions and pain has brought back painful memories, but I know their
marriage and faith is stronger because they have been tempered in the flames. I say this with grace filled confidence as
this week I witnessed this amazingly; steadfast couple stand victorious over
the darkness by declaring their faith and trust in Jesus Christ through baptism. Besides this amazing celebration starting at
5am, I’m grateful to have celebrated this victory as their lives are shining
bright as a testimony to Jesus’s power over pain and death.
Please join with us as we celebrate this victory in Christ
and please continue to pray for Ti Papa and Manoucheka as they continue to grow
in their faith and strive to have a strong marriage and family.

The beauty of this event is evident in so many ways: in your description of the context out of which it happened; in the smiles on their faces; in the gorgeous photos of Haiti. I'm thankful for their faith and for your lifework in Haiti. Praying for all of you.
