On Thursday before the one month anniversary of the killer quake in Haiti I was impressed of the Lord to "do the work of an evangelist."  I immediately cleared my schedule and spent the day producing a special half hour television and radio address to be aired on every functioning television and radio station in Port au Prince. At 8:00PM on Thursday night I got on my motorcylce and spent the next four hours personallly delivering the recorded address to the stations. On Friday morning I was awakened to the sound of my own media address as station managers told listeners to turn up their radios and tvs and point them out towards other Haitians so Haiti could hear Frere Joel speak to the nation!

Instead of drunken debauchery throughout Haiti yesterday Haitians were again in church worshipping all day long! There were no rah rahs, dancing parades, in the streets of Port au Prince.  Though the NYTimes called it a "joyless" Mardi Gras we offer the AP footage in front of the National Palace as indisputable proof that Haitians are full of the "joy of the Lord that is their strength!"  Glory to the King of kings, Jesus Christ!
