Mini outreach and 48 hour burn

Our amazing prayer room!

Lately God has been encouraging us to pray and worship even more! Recently I started talking with a student and friend named Stephen about doing a burn, which is a specific amount of time of ending worship and prayer in a community of believers. He said “Let's just start right now! Lets just go for it!” So after praying about what that would look like, we just decided to start worshiping and praying in our lovely prayer room, trying to worship 48 hours straight through the weekend, with everyone signing up for a 2 hour shift with a couple friends. The main focus was simply to encounter Jesus and praise him for who he is, and then as people were led they would pray for the things on God's heart as well!

Desure and me

During our burn we had a great time, with so many people getting involved and students really leading it out. It was really encouraging because everyone just wanted to hang out with Jesus!

Here's some personal testimonies from the students of the DTS:

Stephen: We just had an amazing time of worship from 9 to 11 Saturday and then me and two friends stayed up all night and prayed for the nation. Then we went up on the roof to watch the sunrise and it was beautiful.

Jordan Halperin said: I woke up at three in the morning and devoted 2 hours for prayer and worship and I loved to please God. I loved sacrificing my sleep and time I felt like it was such a simple way to show my love and appreciation to the Lord.

Desure Demero said: "I was born in a christian family. But I never used my time for Jesus. I never told anyone about Jesus.

When another student in the school called me and told me it was time for me to pray in the prayer room, I felt a big blessing and joy to pray. Everyday I pray to Jesus to use me in His work. During this DTS is time for me to start walking with Jesus. I know Jesus wants to change every Haitian in their heart, so please pray for this in Haiti.

During the prayer session, I prayed for my finances and all the finances in the school. We saw a huge victory this weekend because on Monday July 18^th all the students needed to pay their money for the lecture phase. After praying all weekend, all the students were able to pay the $200 needed for the lecture phase. This is a huge victory and miracle because of Jesus.

 

Please pray for me because my friend is discouraging me for doing DTS because afterwards he thinks I won't be able to work with Coca-cola like I did before. I need lots of prayer because Satan is giving me lots of discouragement."

As well as praying and worshiping God ourselves, we've been able to share the love of God with Haiti in practical physical ways, to give strength to the message of the gospel.

To do that we went on mini outreaches throughout Haiti, and I was able to work with a team around the area of Cite de Soleil. My brother came to Haiti during that time, and we were able to work side by side, which was quite a blessing! Josh took many incredible photos, and it was incredible to see him using the talents that God has given him.

During the outreaches we were able to give medical care and education to about 500 people as well as making 2 large tanks that catch rain water and store it. With an average rain fall each tank can supply water to about 100 people consistently, and God willing the tank will last a lifetime.

Another highlight for me was to see God heal 12 people miraculously before our very eyes. While people were waiting in line to see an earthly doctor, we asked the great physician to heal their bodies, and we saw every person that we prayed for get healed! It was so encouraging to see God's power and love at work in these people's lives!

Thank you all so much for praying and support me and this school, and partnering in all that God is doing. I truly wouldn't be in Haiti right now without your incredible faithful prayers and financial contribution! Thanks again!
