Dan O’Deens (leading the group), executive director of CPR-3, sends the following report on the recent visit to Haiti of two work/ministry teams:
Both weeks of service were amazing. The teams jelled immediately and there were no problems throughout the entire experience.
In week one I know of 17 folks who came forward and bowed their knee to Christ after I preached. Many (too many to count) were touched with the love of Jesus.
These weeks were an exemplary checklist for Isaiah 58. The hungry were fed, the naked were clothed, the sick were healed, the homeless received homes and a village that had no school will now be educated in their new school, with a suitcase full of supplies. The whole gospel was preached and shared. The written and living Word were active and present.
As a result of the two weeks 25 shelters/homes were constructed (CPR-3 was the partner for these, as we shared the resources with other groups and paid Haitians a salary to put them up). A school was built from scratch…one that will open in September and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. There will be a Christian Haitian teacher who will care for the children in Laberdee.
Great relationships and partnerships were established for ongoing ministry. We are now praying for churches to be started and orphans and villages to be sponsored.
To God be the Glory.
