This upcoming weekend is our OMS Haiti annual spiritual retreat, and this year the speaker is coming in from Erie, PA. Most of the retreat will be held in town (thankfully, somewhere different than where we ate Saturday!)
After weeks of asking and searching and going...there are NO Creole Bibles to be found. ZERO. La Presse Evangil, the printer that sells them throughout Haiti, is located in Port-au-Prince. They are closed. The stores throughout Cap-Haitien that sold them have NONE, and are getting none, and don't know when they'll ever get them.
Meanwhile, new converts, Christians who lost their Bibles in the earthquake, and churches preparing for the Easter season are begging for them. We have the money...just nowhere to get them. We're starting to look for them outside of Haiti, but so far, the price difference is astronomical...plus shipping. Please be praying with us for this huge issue...Can you imagine desperately desiring to read God's Word, and NOT being able to find it?
We have also got this summer's speaking schedule nailed down, and would LOVE to see you at one of these wonderful churches....Please email if you have any questions!
This summer, we'll be speaking on behalf of the staff and students at Emmaus Biblical Seminary about what God is doing through EBS to rebuild, restore, renew and redeem Haiti!
