Update from Haiti

So many amazing things happening here. Today [Sunday] I crossed the river in a dugout canoe to preach at church. Didn't even know I was preaching until they said Tyler we need you this morning, get your tie and let's go. If we would not have had a flat tire I would have had to prepare something to say during music in worship. Here is a picture of me with Bible and notes in hand while wearing suit in a canoe in the middle of the river.

The church in Fedja was where all the rest of the Ginghamsburg folks were when they had a once-in-lifetime experience. One of the most feared voodoo priests came to Christ in worship. So the team and many pastors (here for a conference) went to this guy's home after worship to throw out all things related to voodoo that he had. Not much left. (Note...by doing this he also loses his job.) Then he decided that his girlfriend must also make a decision so they went and visited her. Then his mother. They had many stops today.

Tomorrow Pastor Brian will teach pastors. At the end there will be an ordination or commissioning service, for a new pastor and then in the evening 7 couples will become husband and wife. Everyone is doing very well and healthy.
