" The Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not be afraid" Psalm 23!
The 2023 was tough and hard. We were scared, we fought, we lose strength and energy, we fall, we stood up again, we fought and we made it to a point where we felt like we could do it anymore until...we started to look back and see how God was and is and will always be good to us and using us.
We thought that we were working in vain until we starting doing our statistics for the year and saw a glimpse of hope. This hope us from the work that the Holy spirit did through us and how so many of you friends dis stand to encourage and motivate us to push forward. For the 2023, the country broke us down to our knees and we thought that we could not do big but the Holy was there to convince us that the work is not about us but all about God. So, God, through us was able to plant 15 Simple churches, 264 converts, 18 Discovery Bible study and 22 churches house and 73 baptisms.
God is good and we could not be more pride then being disciples of Jesus Christ.
As this new year starts, we pray that God will bring his peace to Haiti as it is in Heaven, we pray that his kingdom come and his will be done.

Happy New Year to all of you, brothers and sisters in Christ

God is on the throne, he reigns, hallelujah Hallelujah!
After the death of our beloved brother Jesulon Guillaumette, we did take a couple of month to stand with the family and support them the way we can through the sadness they are crossing.

In spite the sadness moment, God was and still is at work everyday. We as human, want to take break and feel discourage to move on but God always stands up and says he is with us and we need to push forward.
God did use us in a mighty un people’s live. He reached out to people that we would not think that would come to follow Christ. In the midst of the chaos, Jesus is always there to offer peace to those that would be willing to accept it and he did for us and for others as well. God through us was able to reach out to 105 people that gave their lives to him, 12 people got engage by accepting to be baptized and 8 new churches got planted, Praise God!

In the midst of the problem, he is always there to offer solution to us.

Also today in the DR, a new simple church got planted and each person in the group as great testimonies about the calling they receive from God.

The Lord is faithful even when we are not, he always keeps his promise.

Please, pray for:
- Security to come to Haiti
- Pray that the Haitian and Dominican churches will set up the model of peace for the others to see what God can do.
- pray for hearts to be changed in Christ’s name

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.” Philippians 1: 21-23!

Jesulon Guillaumette, one of the main leader of Simple church, missionary in the Nippes District, passed away last Wednesday at 11:00 pm. the news is still hard on us and so many of us cannot hold tears in our eyes. He was a man full with integrity and perseverance in his faith. He leds 370 house churches with 5 generations. He was a good exemple for so many in the ministry and around himself. He is gone and let his wife and his daughter behind.

This is such a great lost for us but it is a gain for him because he is with our Savior and Lord Jesus.

Please, lift up his family in prayer and pray that God’s kingdom will come.

Rest In Peace beloved brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

“God is our strength, a very present help in trouble” psalms 46:1
May the Blessing of the Lord, our God, be upon you as you are reading this newsletter from Simple Church. We are so grateful to our savior Jesus for always standing with us in all we are doing for his kingdom. Jesus is the best leader that ever exists because he never lays back and lets us alone in the work. Instead he is the one that makes the way and prepares it so that everyone would know we are his faithful servants like it says in Marc 16:20.

The past three months were not easy but brought fruit for the kingdom. In spite of all the uncertainty, the political unrest, the earthquake and the storm, we were able to use all the access we found to reach out souls for the glory of God. Jesus sees and always stands to protect and guide us in all we do.
The month of June, we had the central conferences and it went well. Our commissioner Jonel, was able to gather 30 of his best disciples makers and trained them. We were able to plant 6 churches and had 34 converts.

July was a little bit crazy with the Covid that got intense. There were some restrictions but we did cross it with God’s help. The gangs did control the whole south entrance of port au prince and they did block the big store of gas that the whole country has and it was hard to find gas to go anywhere. The whole month was a big problem for gas but with God’s help, every move we took, we tried to use it for the kingdom. We were able to plant 7 churches and 54 converts.
August was good at the beginning! We were able to find gas and traveled to some other parts of the country but the middle of it was a big disaster! On August 14th, the south peninsula of the country got hit by an earthquake of 7.2 and everyone in the West district felt it. Right after that, on Monday the 16th, there was a storm! August was crazy but God did open some families' hearts to receive the words and we were able to plant 5 churches, 18 converts and 6 baptisms.

In the Dominican Republic, things are going great and we were so happy to get to spend time with the churches. God did use us in a mighty way for his glory and the spirit brought repentance among us and some were deciding to restore, marry and baptize. Brother Leon Edrice is doing incredible work for the kingdom. All the churches are growing up and the buildings are too small for the people that come to the services. Pastor Roberto went to the DR, to continue the work that we did there and to baptize and marry some of the people there.
