Home From Haiti

Greetings friends.  Boy is it ever good to be back on U.S. soil!  Our recent trip to Haiti, though filled with many trials and difficulties, was a great success.  Our God is so faithful! We left with ten individuals who love God and wanted to serve Him in Haiti.  We returned stronger and more impressed that through difficulty God is strong and ever so faithful.

By the grace of God we were able to start and complete a building for Kingdom use in La Saline on this trip.  We were also able to preach and worship with over one hundred and fifty new believers at a service in the new building on Sunday.    
God also allowed us the opportunity to preach and worship with over twenty five hundred in the main church in Port au Prince that same day. We experienced a great move of God’s Spirit.





The words of the scripture in Matthew 24:14  “And this gospel of the Kingdom must be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to the nations…” became our theme of the week.  As a team the Lord allowed us the privilege of sharing the Gospel with over a thousand Haitians in both Jerusalem and La Saline.   It was such an encouragement to me to see all of these young men involved and passionate about proclaiming the message of the Kingdom.



We saw over three hundred and fifty surrender to follow Christ

Thank you for your prayers.  Thank you to all of our team members who persisted in faithfulness to God and obedience to His call.  Paul says in 2 Corinthians 6:17, “these momentary light afflictions are producing for us an eternal weight of glory”.  A mission in Haiti is a unique experience.  I now understand better what people mean when they say, “It was horrible but praise God it was awesome.” Truly God’s mercy is new every morning and great is His Faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:23 

All Glory be to God who, by His grace, has allowed Co:Mission Ministry to be a part of  planting six new church starts this past year.
Until the Nations Hear,
Mark
