HAITI

As you may have heard by now, Haiti’s President Moise was assassinated on July 7. The details of this are very murky and grow stranger by the day. In any case, the people stayed home for the first few days in fear of further violence. Overall, the situation is as bad as we’ve ever seen. Gangs seem to control parts of the country and there’s barely any functioning government. COVID is spiking and Haiti is one of the few countries that has not started vaccinating against it.

Thankfully, Sister Elsie and Sister Bonite and their ministry community are safe for now. There continues to be a threat of protests and other violence, so they are being very cautious regarding public meetings. Our Haiti Life Center is closed for July.

PRAISE REPORT: Amazingly, the barrels that The Brooklyn Tabernacle sent to both Elsie’s and Bonite’s ministries arrived safely and intact.

Elsie: “A quick note to let you know that we received the seven barrels with great joy and lots of thanksgiving to the Lord for everyone at The Brooklyn Tabernacle Missions Ministry and the individuals who gave so abundantly to this project. Distribution will begin today. Heartfelt thanks from all of us.”

Bonite: “The 6 barrels have been delivered. Thank God and thank you all for this great surprise. Gratefully, Sister Bonite”
