Today marked the third week of Montrouis International Fellowship, the first ENGLISH church in Montrouis, Haiti. New Vision Ministries with the help of Stephen and Autumn Byxbe and Dr. Dennis and Sara Cowley are raising up a church where people from all nations can gather together for church in English. It is located just down the street from the Mission and coincidentally where our kids from the Mission go to school.
This church within the last 3 weeks have been a blessing for many people in the area, including me. One of the things I missed the most being here was not having a place to worship and get fed every week. Don't get me wrong, Haitian church is awesome but only to the extent of learning their culture and seeing people on fire for God. It's tough to sit through a 3-4 hour long service only catching a few words here or there, praying you understand the gist of everything going on. I love it but I can't do it every week.
Today we were packed! The generator was working (woot woot!) so we had fans, microphones, and a little electric piano and guitar. We rocked out to some music and heard a great convicting sermon about God sending Jesus to free us from all sin...so stop trying to hold on to it! Even if you think it's little and not a big deal! And had wonderful fellowship with other who are here in Haiti for the same reasons as us. This has been on the hearts of New Vision Ministries for a long time and it is finally happening! Praise God! Please be praying for the church and the influence it will have on many people, Christian and non-Christian, here in Montrouis, Haiti. There is something big in store here in Haiti! (Pictures will be posted later...sorry!)
I remember them talking about this when we were there over Thanksgiving. It is so cool to see it realized. We will be praying!
