As devastating as the earthquake has been and continues to be, I keep hearing stories of miracles...
Feb. 12-14th were declared days of prayer and fasting by churches all across the country. Many, many lives were changed. I've even heard it said that President Preval became a Christian! Wow! Praise the Lord!!
After those days devoted to prayer, there has been a different feel to this town. A little more peace, a little less fear. A little more light, a little less darkness.
Pastor Willy has a church down on the Saline. The Saline, or Salt Flats, are the poorest parts of our town. This week, he has been fasting and doing prayer walks around town. This week, two witchdoctors accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior!!
Esther told me several testimonies from people in her church. There was a man who was buried under the concrete in his house in Port Au Prince for 8 days. His wife was crushed and killed beside him. His wife's cousin and his daughter were also killed. He prayed fervently, asking God to spare him and to take away his hunger and thirst. For 8 days, he did not hunger nor thirst. Last Sunday in church, he praised the Lord for sparing him and is confident that God has a plan for his life. Wow.
Another woman lost her entire family-- husband and three kids-- as their home fell on them. She was trapped for three days. During that time, she testified that an angel brought her food and water. Wow.
Anpil mirak.
