Haiti Prayer Requests

August 13-19th, 2008

HAITI—High costs for everything are not going away. Dr. Gavin McClintock says that people don’t go to the clinic when they start to get sick. They wait until they are desperate, and then they go. Ask the Lord to provide relief for the Haitian people. Pray for the government as well. These problems lay heavily on their leadership abilities. This society is vulnerable right now.

Pray for the annual field council at the end of August. They need strength and wisdom to shape the future of the Haiti field.

Haitian families want their children to go to school, but school fees have increased. Ask the Lord to show them what they can do.

July 30- Aug 6

HAITI—Keep praying for Haiti. The high costs of fuel and food are affecting everyone. The clinic reported that they are seeing more children suffering from malnutrition. Ask that the people will receive some relief and that the situation in Haiti will improve. Pray as well for the Haitian government—this is a critical time for the leaders of this country.

Pray for the OMS staff, that the Brett and Angie Bundy family, Matt and Stacey Ayars, MaryLou Wunker and Kate Zlotnicki will return well rested. Scott Hageman recently returned to Alabama. Pray for the Lord to guide and direct his path for the future. John and Dorothy McCluskey have finished their term as field treasurer. Ask the Lord to fill that spot soon.

Pray for the OMS field council at the end of August. They don’t know what the future holds, but they do know who holds the future. Pray that God will reveal His will to the Haiti field.

June 25- July 1

HAITI—Continue to pray for Sherry, the Haitian lady setting up the first set of 20 booklets in Creole for the new ECC program. God has answered your prayers, and she has not had that overwhelming tiredness since you prayed. She still has more work to finish, but is rejoicing in her renewed energy.

Pray for strength and stamina for Matt and Stacey Ayars, combining two weeks of deputation and two weeks of vacation with speaking at the OMS retreat. Pray that they will return well rested and prepared for their second teaching year at the Emmaus Biblical Seminary.

Ask that Brett and Angie Bundy and family enjoy a restful time with family. Pray especially for Brett and his involvement in Missionary Council.

Keep praying for the Lord to send a field treasurer to Haiti—they want His choice for the position.

Pray for honesty, integrity and stability for the Haitan government and for God’s people to look to Him for their every need.

Uplift the construction work at the Emmaus Biblical Seminary. Thank the Lord that Neil von Arb will soon arrive to help for the next four months. Pray for good health, strength and safety for all the workers on the site.

It is the hot and humid summer season. Pray for our missionary body left on the field for the summer to do the necessary work and find quiet places of rest to keep them going.

June 18-24th, 2008

HAITI—Praise the Lord for an excellent graduation for Emmaus Biblical Seminary. The students gave honor to the staff and teachers for being such a good example of the Lord Jesus in the way they handled all the difficulties during the year. Our God is at work in their lives.

Pray for unity for the staff at Bethesda Clinic and for opportunities to share the life-changing Word of the Lord with both patients and other staff members.

Pray for the missionary staff on the Haiti field. Some are leaving for the summer, and some are leaving permanently. Ask the Lord to provide willing workers to fill the gap. Pray for those who are funding to go to the field soon.

June 11-17, 2008

HAITI—Praise the Lord for the 50th anniversary celebration. Thank God for all that He has done through OMS in Haiti. On Sunday, they celebrated with the Emmaus Fellowship of Churches and all of the visitors.

Pray for unity of the Bethesda Medical Clinic staff, working together with the new staff of the AIDS Clinic. Pray as well for the construction of the new AIDS facilities to be completed soon; pray that the additional space will help with staff problems.

Keep the Haitian people lifted up in prayer. The high cost of everything is hurting many families and organizations. The daily numbers that go to the clinic has never been so low. May the Lord work in that country so that people will turn their eyes upon Him.

Summer is quickly approaching, and many are leaving. Pray for the missionary staff remaining to have good health, strength and stamina to carry on.

Construction is proceeding well at the new Emmaus Biblical Seminary. Ask for more work teams to go and help. They especially need skilled trades people.

June 4-10,2008

HAITI—Continue to pray for a new field treasurer for the Haiti field. They know that the Lord has someone special in mind.

Pray for Storly Michel, director of Radio 4VEH, going to Leamington, Ontario, to present the funding need for 4VEH.

Pray for strength and stamina for the construction workers of the new Emmaus Biblical Seminary. Summer is here, and there is still much work to do.

May 28- June 3, 2008

HAITI—Pray for the need for God’s best to fill the position of a field treasurer.

May God give direction and wisdom in making the right decisions for needed funding for the Bethesda Clinic and for Radio 4VEH.

Be in prayer for another container that left for Haiti from Greenwood with seminary construction materials, medical needs for the clinic, Bible and tracts for the ongoing outreach work. Pray that this container will not be held up on the docks, waiting for all the official paper work.
