Again, we are in North Haiti, the second largest city, Cap Haitian. This time we will be filming two La Bonne Nouvelle episodes in Limonade and Cap. In Limonade a 4000 acres, co-op farm is sharing profits with area peasants and in Cap a charcoal manufacturer who uses sugar cane waste is protecting trees and employing people. Our days begin with sunrise for the good light and end with sunset again for good light.

A new to the Caribbean mosquito borne virus Chikungunya has infected almost 50% of the Haitian population. The disease is marked by high fever, arthritic joint pain, muscle pain, headache and nausea. When we arrived in Cap, we sprayed the yard, the house, burned mosquito coils and slathered on repellent. Yvonne got one bite on her unprotected elbow and the next day she was in excruciating pain.

For a week she took Tylenol and Benadryl several times a day with little relief; though she had not told anyone of the disease, she began to receive notes from friends saying that they were praying for her! Now weakened by an additional viral infection, bronchitis; please lift her up in prayer. We believe God for a full restoration of good health and energy.

Write to us today; we want to hear from you

Yesterday, the Haitian Minister of Commerce called to ask me to lunch; he is a fan of La Bonne Nouvelle. Together we talked about development in Haiti and how La Bonne Nouvelle can help educate the public. The 4,000 acre agricultural project in Limonade is government subsidized but privately owned. La Bonne Nouvelle will highlight the produce and the employees. One proud woman told me, "I am thirty-seven years old and I have never had a job. Now I can feed my children and send them to school!"

We have postponed the Cap Haitian citywide crusade that I originally scheduled for this month, as World Cup Quarter Finals would inhibit attendance. Instead, we have rescheduled for the first week of December, when the heat in Cap has subsided and the mosquitoes are not so rampant! Your continued prayers and gift to help with this event are appreciated. Carl Joseph and Alabanza, Haiti's foremost gospel band and Scott Nelson, founder and director of a global, online, French, Bible Institute will be central to the meeting in December.
