HAITI IN TURMOIL AND MANY LOSING HOPE

February 2019

Greetings in the name of our wonderful Savior and Lord, I trust that God is blessing you and using you for His kingdom. Matthew 6:10 says, “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

This is what Jesus commanded us to pray. God wants His kingdom to be established on the earth. His kingdom is already on earth through His church. Now we, as the church, must extend His kingdom through proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel and by living lives worthy of the kingdom. We are especially praying this for Haiti.

As many of you may already know, Haiti was locked down for 10 days. What I mean by this is that for 10 days the opposition to the Haiti president (Jovenel Moise) closed down all roads and activities through the country. If anyone tried to defy them by going out, their lives were in danger. The result of this was that no businesses or offices were open for 10 days, and no food was transported to the open markets, which most people depend on. Haitians live day to day by what they are able to sell each day and most have no way to conserve their food. Most were shut in their houses or never left their neighborhoods, including us. All this has brought Haiti to the brink of a humanitarian crisis.

We thank the Lord that our home and neighborhood were safe and we had all that we needed during this time. It has now been 4 days of relative calm and almost normal activity in Port-Au-Prince and most other areas of Haiti. Most schools have not yet re-opened. We ask you to keep us and Haiti in your prayers.

Pray -
1) That New Life Bible College may be able to function this week. We’ve already missed 2 weeks of classes do to the unrest in the country.
2) That there be an end to the political unrest, which is still very volatile.
3) That the government leaders, and those who have political power, seek the best interest of all who live in this beautiful country.
4) That the hearts and minds of the people be opened to the truth of God’s Word and applied in their lives.

We firmly believe that the root of all the problems in Haiti is first and foremost spiritual and secondly a lack of good education. New Life Mission of Haiti is seeking to change these two things through Bible training, elementary schools, and church planting.

We thank all those who have been praying for us during this time. We could not be serving God here in Haiti without your prayers and financial support.

We challenge those who have not been involved in what God is doing in Haiti to ask the Lord what your part would be. Also, we encourage those who are already standing with us to remain faithful and ask God if there is anything new or different you could be doing as we fight a mighty battle against the principalities and powers of darkness in this nation.

Pressing on in difficult times in the joy of the Lord,
Roger & Margaret Clark
