Sonlight Newsletter

 

 

Good morning to all supporters!

It is my prayer that while reading the newsletter, you are physically and spiritually healthy. Before saying more, Gyna, the staff and me thank you daily for your prayers and monthly support. To tell you the truth, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts because Haiti has so many people who are suffering due to lack of jobs, education for their children, and starvation. But you have made these things possible for those who work at Sonlight Christian Mission. Once again, thank you for all you do daily for us. I know you are praying for Haiti and want to know if there is any progress in the Haitian crisis.

Please, please continue to pray for my homeland because things are getting worse daily. I thought with the presence of the Kenyans force, things would be better, but we have not seen any progress. National Route number 1 has been closed for three and half years. Burned bodies are in many areas of Port au Prince and the gangs are burning many homes daily in several areas there. Many schools are closed in Port au Prince and the International airport has been closed since November. The roads are not safe at all, and hospitals are closed. In other words, Port au Prince is in a dire situation.
Many are starving, begging on the streets; and many businesses are closed. Churches are unable to meet in many areas. Gangs occupy 52% of Port au Prince and folks are leaving there daily. Some of them do not have a clue where they are going to stay. There are many who come to Gonaives and other cities. Twenty minutes away from Sonlight Christian Mission there are many gangs, but we can go downtown of Gonaives to purchase goods for the school children. Goods are very expensive, and nothing is cheap in Haiti right now. We praise God for His protection over us!

I always tell the Church to keep the faith because God is able to do the impossible for those who believe. Please be in prayer for us to get a newer van because the 1999 van at Sonlight Christian Mission stopped working last week. It is an important need for the mission as it supplies transport for many of our people and runs many of the errands for picking up supplies. The mechanics are working on it to see if they can fix it. Pray for the 11th grade that we want to add next September and continue to pray for my family and Sonlight.

Gyna and I thank God because despite the issues Haiti has, Sonlight C.M. is still educating, feeding; and saving souls of those who need Jesus.

Please remember that without God and you, we cannot do what we are doing in Gonaives. Keep up the good work.
Thank you and God bless you forever,
Melio

Also, if you would like to support the need for buying a newer van, please make note on your contribution it is for the van fund, and I will ensure it gets placed for that need.
God bless each one of you throughout the coming year,
