If
you live in the Atlanta metro area, please join us the second
Tuesday of every month for an open prayer meeting for Haiti. We meet
at Cumberland Community Church
located in the Smyrna area. We welcome everyone who would like to
pray for Haiti!
We actively seek God's will for all we do. We
believe that strong prayer support is the foundation for all of our
efforts. We are grateful that you would remember us in prayer.
Please pray for the people of Haiti and the work of
Haiti Cheri Harvest Life Ministries in Dolval, Mirel, and the
surrounding areas. These are some specific ways you can pray:
Ministry: Pray for pastors Herve Pierre and
Jean-Louis Ancles as they lead the churches in Dolval and Mirel.
Pray for the church leadership and the church body, that they would
be unified for the cause of the Gospel. Pray for the health and
safety of the pastors, and that they would effectively lead their
church families into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.
Because of the extreme poverty, the churches are not currently able
to adequately support their pastors. Pray that people from North
America will step in to fill the financial gap until the local
churches are able to support them.
Medical: We have been able to purchase more than 5
acres of land which will be the future site for a permanent medical
clinic. Pray that we will be able to establish the clinic in 2007,
and that our vision for a full scale hospital in Dolval will come to
reality in the years to come.
Education: Pray for the more than 400 students in
grades K-9. Pray for the teachers. Pray that the students will learn
the practical skills needed to be effective adult contributors in
their communities, and that they will learn to honor God with their
lives. Pray that we will be able to address the needs of the more
than 400 children in Dolval who are not able to go to school now
because of the limits to our capacity. Pray that we will be able to
meet the needs of these children soon. Pray for funding to complete
the school building, and for funding to operate the nutrition
program at the school on a continual basis.
Development: Pray for us as we launch a microfinance
program for the community in 2007. This program will enable the
community residents to start their own businesses and establish
financial independence. We will provide business education founded
on Biblical principles, financial training, and will offer oversight
for the fledgling businesses as they are started. It is our desire
that this program will ultimately allow the community to become
fully independent from outside charity, and that it will serve as a
model for surrounding communities.
Pray for the Haiti board members and associate board members, for
their families, their health and safety, and for wisdom and
submission to God’s direction.

Please pray for the country of Haiti in general as
she struggles with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Pray that the
gangs in the cities will stop the kidnappings, brutality, and
acts of terror. Pray that the government will become stable and take
an interest in addressing the needs of the people. Pray for Godly
leadership in the country that will transform it from the inside
out. Pray for those who are hungry and sick, with nowhere to turn.
PLEASE PRAY FOR HAITI EVERY DAY!
