Pastor Fred is part way through this exciting construction phase, but has had to stop because of a lack of finances. They need help finishing the new building which is needed to accommodate their growth. As for the rest of us, it was our first trip to Haiti and we really enjoyed the people. God is really doing something among those pastors and church workers across the island. They told us that something began about two years ago that has created a great openness in the people.
Nobody can explain what brought about such a change, but all the churches are reporting real growth.
One Sunday, while driving to church, I was shocked to see so many Christians going to church at one time. Thousands were on the street, dressed up and carrying their Bibles. I have never seen anything like it. Once, as we passed a street choked with people as far as we could see, I asked what was going on there. Our driver simply said.
