The Sunday After the Earthquake- Blessings from Dieupie (Ruthie's adopted son and Pastor in Jacmel)

The day  after the earthquake people sees differents up comings. some people look very quick to famine the country will know they were right it is now hard. others see the problem they will have to find a place to leave they are right the problem is over welming I myself feel like hiding just not to face the situation, other people like Sara from Mission for Haiti, dr Garlock a visitor to haiti at that time and many others that God would draw to hime as many as possible. so some of us preachers were praying and prepring along.  the sunday after this uge eathquake was unusual. While many were asking were was God, many more saw him clearly. our churhches have never had more people than that day. In Hosanna in particular the service was a real truly and deeply worship one. I preach from Jean 14:27 making a diffrence betrween the peace of God and the peace of this world and finish my message showing that having peace  with God is prerequisit to having the peace of God. So make peace with to have his peace. it was a clear and simple messag. We spent about 25 minutes in the invitations to give time to 15 people to come in front to make peace with God. the congregation sung to the Lord with their whole heart to magnify his name. The name of the Lord was magnified. In the after noon I met with brother Yva the Leader of Lavanneau Church, he told on his part the service was just a feast. the Poeple praise God the fact that he has given protection to the twelve american who were the day before at the  same time 5PM over the top of the church to put up the roof.  God has blessed Mission for Haiti. they are not in Jacmel by accident. the Lord knows they are there. that almost the whole community came to chruch many of them were there alrady since they live there having lost their house. After the preacher, which was about a bigger earthquake to come 20 people got saved. Before the night service at Hosanna brother Mirthyl reporterd what happened in his church 11 people got saved.   I want to thank all of you who have been praying for us preachers in Haiti. we still have a lot to do. we are planning an open air service for the end of the this month please keep praying with.
As far as the need  really do not know what to say or to do. I have more than 30 people sleeping at the churhc yard every night. problems to eat and problems to sleep. please pray with us.
