Even though her family protested, Madame Emil took off her voodoo amulet and trusted Christ as her savior. She was 8 months pregnant at the time and her family insisted that this decision and the taking off of her amulet would result in harm to her unborn baby. But she was firm in her decision. It was a moving time for the team from Nebraska who had come to her home with their Haitian C3 pastor and an RMI translator to share the Gospel with the family. The angels rejoiced when she joined the family of God. The pastor made a point to follow up with her to support her in this life transforming decision. The local Haitian church did the same thing as they took her in.
Recently the RMI staff heard that the baby had been born, so they made a visit and brought a box of food aid as a gift to help the family.
They were able to meet the 3 day old baby girl. Madame Emil shared that it was the smoothest labor she has had yet (she has 3 other young children). She said she really felt the Lord’s protection and faithfulness through it all. What a beautiful testimony!
The local pastor went with the RMI staff and shared the Gospel again with her father. He wasn’t ready to make that decision, but the seed has been planted. And the pastor and church will make sure it is watered!
This is the kind of vital, life transformative ministry that RMI has been involved in for the last 30 years.
What a privilege it is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this family’s lives. Pray with us for the father’s salvation.
