Great Progress

We want to first of all thank all those who have given to Haiti and our work these past ten months since the January 12th earthquake. Without your prayers and financial support we would not been able to do all that we have done.


We have now built three pastors homes and partially completed another. The latest one that we finished was for pastor Nelson Espere who is a pastor in our mission.


Also, we have come a long way on our mother church which is pastored by Jeanty Osnac. We thank the Lord for the last group that came down and spent over a week with us. The group is part of an organization called ACWAM which stands for Active Christians with a Mission and are from Ontario, Canada. They did a tremendous amount of work on our church in Croix des Mission and were a real blessing. The pastor and people were greatly encouraged by the progress they made. They built a storeroom which is needed for our tools and supplies. It will be used later as a church storeroom. They poured 6 columns, multiple footings, and multiple mid-beams for the walls that were laid by our Haitian workers. Hats off to ACWAM and John Wicks.


While ACWAM was here we received the container that they shipped and have begun distributing the supplies. Also, they held several clinics. They took two days to go out observe the needs of our church in Demier which was encouragement to them and gave them hope. The Demier church and school were destroyed. They are meeting under a brush arbor at this time.


On top of the devastating earthquake that has rocked this country, we have a cholera epidemic on our hands. Over 1,600 have already died from it and an expected 200,000 will have had it in three months time. Pray for our protection, and the protection of the Haitian people.

On November 28th they held elections for President, and Parliament leaders. Twelve of the eighteen presidential candidates have declared fraud, and asked for the elections to be annulled. Pray for calm and wisdom during this time. There haves been many protests throughout the country and some have been violent. In all this, we know that we are more than victorious in Christ Jesus. God is still on His throne.

Be blessed in Jesus name!
Roger & Margaret Clark
