Truth Connect was in Cap Haitien, Haiti August 13-18, 2016 to encourage and equip Christian leaders to ignite godly transformation in their communities. The ministry team of six included Dr. David Pitkins, Scott & Kim Smith, Isaac & Ilayda Jean, and me. Pastor Aleonce Bazile and the Alliance Church of Limonade was our host. Three events happened each day: Dr. Pitkins and I taught a Leadership Training Conference (LTC) to approximately 50 persons on the first level of the Alliance Church. The Smiths and Jeans led a Teachers' Training Conference for approximately 35 elementary school teachers on the upper level of the church. The training was well received and appreciated. Each evening in Limonade, approximately 1,000 people came out for an evangelistic outreach. The gathering was held in a local goat pasture. A stage was built in the center of the field with large speakers stacked high on the platform and portable gas generators provided the electric. Each evening a band played praise and worship music for a few hours and then the preacher presented the gospel of Jesus Christ followed by an opportunity to repent of sins, receive His forgiveness and confess Jesus as Savior. By the end of the 8 day crusade, Pastor Bazile reported there were 56 first time conversions to Jesus Christ ~
two of them were voodoo witch doctors; a testimony to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ's to change lives.
