NEW CHURCHES WILL BE BUILT AND SCHOOLS WILL BE STARTED! Our vision is to start bible schools in the Caribbean so we can train up the Nationals to Evangelize their own countries and bring change to their people. We train the people in the five fold ministry and teach them to teach others. II Timothy 2:2 |

IVBI in Lamiteen |

They were on their way to
check out an area where there were no existing churches. Daniel is
Marlaine's husband, founder and overseeing pastor of six churches, several
orphanages, and day schools. Daniel and Jerry made their way up the
riverbed in a 4WD over the
southern ridge of mountains toward Jacmel. It is a four hour drive
up the riverbed, then two hours by foot. Materials and supplies are
driven, and then carried in by volunteers November through February.
The concrete and steel shelter built 37x60 ft (above) will hold a children's school, a church, and an IVBI, and will protect them from the rain and sun. The rainy season in Jacmel is from March through October. Our desire is to help Daniel with construction teams to help build churches that will also hold bible schools. If you are interested in having your church or group take a team with us to Haiti to help build a church like the one in the picture above, please give us a call. If you would like to make a donation toward building a church it would be greatly appreciated. |
Jerry was met by Daniel Vallon at the airport
in Port-au-Prince, Haiti last October. Daniel is Jerry's interpreter
and goes with him everywhere he goes and helps Jerry with whatever he
needs. Jerry and Daniel met with Director Gibbs at the school in
Lamiteen to speak to the graduates and students. Jerry had a word of
encouragement for them all on the "End Time Harvest of Souls". The students were encouraged and excited about evangelizing their country and helping Jerry start new IVBIs throughout Haiti. Many agreed to go to other areas and become teachers. Also introduced to us this year is the IVBI curriculum on DVD. Jerry can give the courses and a DVD player to individual pastors to have a school right in their own church. This will work great for many pastors in areas where it is hard to send teachers. (Picture on right) A gift was presented to the widow of one of our teachers of the IVBI in Lamiteen. She recently lost her husband, so the staff of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and we gave her a financial gift for her needs. Our sincere condolences to the family. |

Preaching in Cap Haitien |
Starting a new IVBI in Cap Haitien |

| It was a six hour, hot and crowded bus ride to Cap Haitien from Port au Prince. Jerry was invited to Cap Haitien by Senator Samson to start a new IVBI. Senator Samson, Jerry and Daniel went to the church to have a meeting with Pastor Ecclesias. He was then asked to preach in the new church that was under construction. | During the week of preaching at Pastor Ecclesias' new church, Jerry promoted the IVBI to the church and over the radio everyday. The students above were the first to come and apply as Jerry did an orientation and spoke to the seven pastors who would be the teachers. | ||||

| Thousands came everyday to hear the Word. Many were saved, healed, and delivered of demonic spirits as Jerry preached. Hundreds came forth to plant their seed for the new church. This week was unprecedented as the people gave even out of their need. |
There was Praise and Worship while the band played, and
then Jerry preached on "Salvation", "Healing", and on "Seed Time and
Harvest". |

There is so much to do to help this country. Won't you please pray about becoming a partner with us to take Jesus to these people. God Bless You, Jerry & Linda
Cost of one church shelter $10,000 US |
Cap Haitien, one of the oldest Haitian cities, and is located in the northern section of the country and was founded in 1670. During French colonial times, Cap Haitien was called Cap Francais and was the capital of the colony of St. Domingue. The biggest commercial port was located in Cap Haitien. At least twice, Cap-Haitien would be used as the capital of Haiti. (Just a little on the history of Cap Haitien.)
At least 150 churches have been established throughout Haiti and the
Dominican Republic by the graduates. Bishop Emmanuel is an alumni and is
now overseeing 28 of the churches in Haiti. WE COVET YOUR PRAYERS. |
