1 Missins Trip t Pignn, Haiti Missins Reprt: by Lra Rzkwski July 2018 Thank yu s much fr yur financial gifts and prayer cver fr the missins trip t Pignn, Haiti. It was life changing! The missin team cnsisted f: 4 yuth & 3 adults frm 2 churches. We reached ut t surrunding cmmunities sharing the lve f Christ with: NT Bibles in Haitian-Crele, bags f rice & beans, gats, slar lights, evangelism and prayer, church marriage cnferences, puring a cncrete flr, spnsring schl kids fr a year and financial gifts handed t ministry leaders. Team members als participated in varius events n the UCI ministry grunds. Gats ging ut t families 1

2 A sack f Rice & Beans will feed a family f 6, fr 2 weeks Gary: New Testament Bibles in Haitian-Crele 2

3 U.C.I. - United Christians Internatinal Funders f UCI: JeanJean (prnunced Jhn Jhn) & Kristie Mmpremier started UCI in 2005 they nw have 65 churches under their cvering. JeanJean hsts a Pastr s mtg. each week (Gary had the privilege t speak t them). Sme f the Pastr s travel very lng distances t get t this meeting. Gary & Jnah: Pastrs Meeting at UCI UCI has grwn and cntinues t expand in building prjects, elementary schl schlarships and university students. UCI expects an influx f 300 University students in The ministry even caught the attentin f the president f Haiti and he made an fficial visit a cuple f years ag. Gd is awesme!! There are 3 areas f learning at the UCI University Campus: Thelgy Medical - Dctrs & Nurses Agriculture 3

4 There are s many cmmunity needs and right nw JeanJean is in the negtiating stage f building a hspital. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS! They knw Gd will prvide the funds and the means t begin building the hspital n UCI grunds. During ur time at UCI, a lcal missinary wman in desperate need f medical treatment came t JeanJean and Kristie s dr at 3am asking fr help. The nearest hspital is ver an hur away. They immediately gt dressed and drve her t the hspital. The missinary is ding fine, thanks t JeanJean & Kristie and their serving hearts. UCI's three-fld missin fr shrt-term TRIPS: Evangelism Ministry verbally cmmunicating the Gspel f Jesus Christ using a variety f methds Cnstructin Ministry cntributing t the hands-n building, cnstructin, and cleaning prjects as needed A typical hme in Pignn, Haiti (walls/rf leaks) UCI has helped many families with a hme (leak prf) Mercy (Service, Creative) Ministry demnstrating Gd s lve t thse in need prviding helpful service t full-time missinaries, medical persnnel, lcal pastrs, educatrs, and fficials Utilizing Gd given gifting and visin f team members t share the Gspel in unique and creative ways (puppets, music, the Arts, sprts, etc.) 125 bys were there fr sccer camp, fr free! A yung man frm Califrnia, wh was saved at UCI, teaches and has helped lead the sccer camp fr the past 2 years. Just think f what WE can d as a missinary team in 1 week! We can affect a wide range f peple with the lve f Jesus Christ and share His GOOD NEWS. 4

5 Wilnt s Stry: One yung man, brn in adversity with a dream t change his natin. Wilnt with cmmunity children he has helped. The JOY f the LORD is ur strength! Wilnt (prnunced Will Knw) is an artist, single Dad, wrship leader at his lcal church, a Thelgy student at UCI and funder f Haitian Hpe Ministry. He has a visin t help families in the Mnac cmmunity f Central Haiti, wh are very, very pr. Wilnt was in High Schl when he adpted a little baby by wh wuld have had the terrible fate f grwing up in an rphanage. A yung father apprached Wilnt and was desperate fr smene t help him with his sn because he culd n lnger take care f him. Wilnt was living at hme and begged his Mm t let him keep the baby by. Wilnt s hme already had 9 children and Mendel wuld make 10. (Mendel is nw 10 yrs ld) Wilnt said he wuld wrk r d whatever he culd t pay fr the expenses f raising this child as his wn, his Mm finally agreed. Wilnt used his artistic talent t help prvide fr his sn and cntinues t sell his paintings fr funding fr his ministry. 5

6 Wilnt is helping a family f 7 with a tin rf. (Each tin is apprx. $40) A scripture that keeps Wilnt encuraged is: Philippians 4:13 I can d all things thrugh Christ which strengthens me. I am currently in cntact with Wilnt and pray that we develp a relatinship that will cntinue t grw s we can help him with his visin fr Haitian Hpe. Wilnt painted all the images in the ckbk frm UCI titled; cking with Lve. The recipes lk fantastic and I hpe t try them ut sn. (Yu guys knw it s a running jke between Gary & I that my cking is terrible, LOL! Gary can tell yu many stries. ) 6

7 Nelsn the Witchdctr (a Christian fr almst 6 years) Nelsn (frmer witchdctr) is n the left and JeanJean is in the red shirt Nelsn a frmer witchdctr came t the missin huse t speak with ur missin team. He had a pwerful testimny. He spke in Crele and JeanJean interpreted fr him. Smething interesting happened just as Nelsn was abut t begin t speak; the lights went ut fr abut 20 secnds In Haiti there is abslutely n electricity r lighting at night, it is pitch black. The ministry huse has lights that are run with a gas generatr. When the lights came back n there was a hush in ur midst and we all hung nt every wrd f Nelsn s testimny n hw he came t Christ. It was incredible! The reasn I like t mentin the witchdctrs is because; nce the witchdctr gets saved the whle cmmunity cmes t Christ and the spiritual climate changes frm darkness t Gd s marvelus light. JeanJean has UCI evangelism ministry teams that have a specific strategy; t target vd influenced cmmunities. T date, 29 witchdctrs have given their hearts t Jesus Christ thrugh the UCI evangelism ministry s far, they are fearless! 7

8 I tk ntes when Nelsn was speaking and here are sme f the things that he tld us. Witchdctrs are intrigued when they meet smene that is nt afraid f them. Fear is their weapn f destructin. They knw when smene is a Christian because the pwer f Gd is much greater than theirs. Witchdctrs are greatly feared by the Haitian peple. Vd has been perating in Haiti fr abut 200 years nw. Cmmunities knw which ritual is taking place because f the particular rhythm f the drums they hear in the distance. They call their meeting places - a huse f wrship. WITCHDOCTORS: They are part f a huge netwrk and all witchdctrs in Haiti are cnnected They can be male r female They are pssed by a demn Their jb is t kill peple [Nelsn has n item hw many peple he had killed, it s in the hundreds], all the killing is dne in the spirit realm. There is a hierarchy and each witchdctr has a master if they want mre mney & pwer. What they d is give ttal allegiance t that master and the master speaks ver the witchdctr an ral cntract. The cntract is hw lng the witchdctr will live. Their missin t steal, kill & destry Stry f Jean Jean s evangelism team cming t Nelsn s huse Nelsn wanted the UCI Christians dead that kept cming t his huse. As the Christians came int Nelsn s spiritual realm f influence, he saw the demnic principalities bw t the pwer f Gd. The demns wuld flee. Nelsn was perplexed Then ne day Gd gave him a dream, that he must read this scripture frm the Bible: Galatians 6: 1 & 7 Brthers and sisters, if smene is caught in a sin, yu wh live by the Spirit shuld restre that persn gently. But watch yurselves, r yu als may be tempted. D nt be deceived: Gd cannt be mcked. A man reaps what he sws. Nelsn accepted Jesus Christ as his LORD and Savir. His cnversin experience brught such peace t his sul that he had never experienced befre. Nelsn was saved just 3 mnths shy f his 9 year death cntract ending. 8

9 Nelsn nw evangelizes in ther cmmunities riddled with vd. The very 1 st time he went ut, 18 witchdctrs gave their lives t Christ. Nelsn has asked us t ask yu t keep him and his family in prayer, he has 3 children. That Gd will cntinue t use him t bring the light f the Gspel int areas f spiritual darkness and prtectin frm harassment f his family. Gary & Lra: prayer fr prtectin & strength This last picture is f a yung father named Jnah. He was at the marriage cnference we taught at his church. His wife culd nt attend because f their newbrn child. He is newly saved, nly 1 year and asked Gary & I t pray fr him fr prtectin and t stay strng fr Jesus. He des nt want t g back t vd. Church, please keep Jnah in yur prayers! Cnclusin: Gary & I will be cllecting supplies and mnetary dnatins thrughut the year fr ur missins trip t Haiti next year. They are in dire need f basics survival supplies. 9
