The Word in Action

Empower: (v) To give or delegate power or authority to OR

(v) give qualities or abilities to.

While looking through pictures I found one that shows the heart of Empowering Haitian Moms. My heart for this ministry agrees with God's heart that no one needs a hand out and to be enabled but to be empowered by the Word.

Proverbs 10:4 "The one who is lazy becomes poor, but the one who works diligently becomes wealthy."



Fritznel & Brooke teaching the Word of God

Fritznel and I are here to empower women to have a way of depending on God for everything they need and teaching/training them to be GOOD/HONEST entrepreneurs so that they do not have to depend on foreign aid. There is no welfare program here, no city office that will give you food stamps and no place to hold a card board sign. Its a life or death situation here. No one is going to drop money in your guitar case if you're playing in the streets. Rise above or die.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 "All these achievements and possessions are ultimately profitless- like chasing the wind! There is nothing gained form them on earth."

 

We can feed them, clothe them and love them all day and in the end... its a vapor in the wind. Ok so what is the REAL point to this ministry?  Die rich and not receive the Kingdom?

Psalms 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to walk by, and a light to illumine my path."

Equipping these families; Mothers, Fathers and their children with the Word of God is the WHOLE point. Truth, Light, Redemption, The Cross and the POWER of the blood.

We are just using poverty as the open door for the gospel!

I had the privilege to watch God's Word take action in my dear friend Madam Tite's life while the team was here. On Thursday evening during recap/devotion time Madam Tite told the team that she had not been baptized yet. Completely lead by the Spirit since Pam had just asked me if she could teach Tite and Assefie about baptism. So after spending time in the Word and explaining the WHY we get baptized she said she WANTED it.

 

So the next day we went down to the beach, prayed and Madam Tite gave the outward expression of her love for Christ and her love for his Word by being baptized. This truly is a privilege for me. To have walked by Tite for 2 years and seen her LOVE for God and then witness her obedience makes it all worth it.

 

1 Corinthians 12:13 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body."

 

Please pray for Tite, her ministry to the people in her new community and pray for all the moms to see the WHY we are here.
Not to fill them with anything but the LOVE and TRUTH of the cross.

Please come visit us in Montrouis, Haiti and be a part of what God is doing. You wont regret it!
