Team Thrive Part 1. Freedom x2

 True Freedom x2. 

"Team Thrive" was their name and praying was their game!

Community Church sent another wonderful team to visit us this September and we had a week packed of adventures for them. Homeless ministry, VBS in Gonaives, VBS in Montrouis, Prison and a Wedding marrying off 6 couples from our ministry.

 In the middle of their trip we took the Sunday morning and did the church service in the St Marc Prison for over 500 inmates, partnered with our friends at YWAM. Fritznel and I have been going for about 4 months and believe it is where God has called us to fulfill part of our ministry but by encouraging the leadership team at YWAM and just serving them in any way that we can.

 We begin with worship and then we sorted and prepared toiletries for all the inmates including soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, body wash, shampoos and conditioner. Prison in Haiti is difficult to say the least. As you can see in many of these pictures, most rooms are probably the size of your sun room, children's bed room or walk in closet. That's the honest truth and I don't think they should have studio apartments but

 what you'd be surprised to know is that MOST rooms (all but 5) have 24-31 men inside. Some have been blessed with a fan but there are no windows  on the outside walls and the only source of air flow is through the barred door.


Each member of the team introduced themselves after worship and then Fritznel translated for Pastor Pam Sparks. There were Hallelujahs and Amens coming from every cell and they were eagerly awaiting for the team to come visit each cell for prayer. The team showed great strength and agape love as they poured their laughter, joy and prayer into every room. We passed out the toiletries and were thanked so we pass that onto everyone who helped prepare, collect and prayed over these items!

During prayer time, Glory be to God, 8 men accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Amen right!!!? Freedom #1!

The next day, thanks to a small group at Community Church who raised money for the prison ministry~ 8 prisoners who were unable to pay their "exit fee" were RELEASED!! Some of the fees were $12!

FREEDOM #2!

Freedom came to the Prison of St. Marc, Haiti because of God's faithful children who could only do anything because they experienced the same freedom first.



 A very big special thank you to Community Church for sending these faithful prayer warriors to visit us and serve the country of Haiti. We were so blessed!
