Moving Past Religion

Spreading the Gospel in Haiti has many challenges. Dre Marshall, a Christian rapper is staying at the children's home with us this week. Last night we held a concert on our property and invited all the youth in the surrounding village. It was going well. The teenage boys were dancing while all the young girls watched and giggled. The little children were all smiles pointing to the sky singing "You a big God. You a big God." It was wonderful. However the elders of the church had a different opinion. They were anger. We were so close to reaching them! The teenage boys were hearing the gospel in a new light and you could see we were actually getting through to them. But the church members shut us down. They weren't happy with the music and the style of preaching so the kids thought they were doing something wrong. They are very concerned with religion here. There isn't any room for the Holy Spirit to move. But, I know Jesus is planning a huge revival for this country. The devil has put many obstacles in our path, but with Christ as our leader we will overcome them one by one. We are planning another concert this afternoon on the beach. Lives are going to be changed today!
