As the ministry of relief moves to a rehabilitation phase, please pray NOW for the Pastors’ Conference planned in Haiti for this weekend (see below)
====================================
March 8, 2010
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
- TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN -
As communicated in our previous report, we are a group of Baptist churches in the Dominican Republic that have decided to join forces with Esperanza International to provide spiritual and material support to the Republic of Haiti, following the earthquake on January 12.
In this context we wish to confirm that this week, during the 12th and 13th of March, we will hold a conference for pastors, to help the servants of God to comfort and encourage the sheep under their care. By the mercy of the Lord, there are 280 pastors who have confirmed their attendance.<br>
The topics to be addressed are:
- A Christian perspective of natural disasters (Pastor Sugel Michelen).
- Biblical counseling in times of crisis (Pastor Eduardo Saladin).
- The doctrine of hope (Pastor Francisco Guzman).
Our desire is to minister to the heart of the participants with great sensitivity, with the expectation that the Spirit of God will impart blessings to each one according to his need. We also wish to establish new cooperation ties with pastors from Port au Prince, to continue supporting the advancement of the Gospel in that city.
We beg you to pray for this conference, that God grants us the fulfillment of its objectives, and that He be glorified in the fruit harvested in the years ahead. Please plead for divine unction for the preachers and for the translator. And finally we humbly ask you to intercede for the protection of the brothers who will be traveling to Haiti to make this event possible.<br>
