them goods and food. In the afternoon we visited pastor Jasmin’s family and gave them a love offering.In the morning, we visited the part of the city that was verydevastated by the hurricane. Families that lost their homes or had their homes with many feets of mud lived there in less damaged homes. Weprayed for them and encouraged them to seek the Lord who can help them andkeep them healthy. We see the youth’s desire and need to have a school in thatcommunity but we could not accomplish that need. Instead we prayed for themand asked that God would supply them with a school because many of themwere completely illiterate. They looked at us as an answer to their needs but wetold them we are simply messengers to show them that God cares for them andloves them. At night, we had an evangelist service in open air outside the churchand invited all the people in the area to come. Over 100 people and childrenattended and listened to the messages and worship team.Tuesday morning, we had a seminar where we presented thechaplains for Christ materials for inspiration and informationabout jail ministry to provoke them to reach people in theprison. Also, another part of the seminary was a presentationof the Holy Spirit baptism and manifestation. The purpose of this was to ignite the fire in them and especially in the leadersand pastors that they might continue the ministry with passionand full of the Holy Spirit. After the seminar, we visited pastor JeanInera’s home and prayed for his family. We had an evangelisticmeeting at night at the church of Marose where Jean Inera is pastor. Itwas a blessed night where God presence manifested in that crowd of adults and many children. They were singing to God with all their heartin the same way that the crowd was singing when Jesus enteredJerusalem. Jesus said, “...Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings youhave perfected praise?”

Early Wednesday morning, we drove to visit the prisonof St. Marc in the state of Artibonite, Haiti. There we wentfrom cell to cell to minister to about 250 inmates and guards.We purchased about 148 bibles and distributed to them alongwith other necessary products. The guards and director of the prison were very friendly and invited us to come again.There were a few inmates that committed to change their life.One of them was a young boy and he stayed there for 4 years and nowthey want to release him but there was an amount of money to be paidand I asked the director of the sum and if it was true. He answered, “If $60 can be paid this inmate can be free today.” And so we freed him. Aformer chaplain was also incarcerated for another sum of about $2,800but we could not honor that and the director said the sum is only to sethim free sooner, and not a requirement. This reminded us about our salvation, we were all prisoners of sin; deserving eternal punishment, but Jesuscame and paid the penalty for the wages of sin. We don’t have to suffer theconsequences of our sin, because Jesus has paid for it so that we can be freeand whom the Son makes free, is free indeed. “For the redemption of their soulis precious, and it ceases forever”
[Psalm 49:8]
