Pastor Jonas Petit Frere and his family held a revival at the Christian Church of Village St Armand of Gonaives starting August 6th. There had been a long dry period, so many of the farmers had lost some of their harvests. But as soon as the revival started the rain came down arriving like a Lord’s Great Army.
In the afternoon they sang and prayed and went and did door to door evangelizing inviting the people to their services. Each day they went to a different area going door to door inviting people to the revival meetings.Over the the five days of revival meetings, six people came to Christ. Praise the Lord!! Jonas has opened a school for destitute children of this very poor community for whom he used to buy, before getting married and having a family, uniform, food, books, copybooks, pens, pencils and so on and paid five(5) teachers for teaching them to read and write. His personal responsibilities don’t allow him to continue to do these humanitarian works. For opening the school on September, he has to pay six (6) months of salary to five (5) teachers and at the rate of $100.00 US each one. The school is important part of the church in the community. A church, whose Mission support supports children, opens a school for children from 6 to 7 and recommends them to be at this church for enjoying of this support.
Please keep Jonas’s father, Duis, in your prayers. He is entering in the final stages of cancer and the Doctors don’t know what else they can do for him. |
