My heart is still with the BEHIND THE MOUNTAIN project and pray that the funds come through for all good things for this ministry and I am hoping to visit David in Haiti soon.
Here's David's message ....
The Right Hand Man
In the early days of our ministry here in Deye-Mon, Haiti, a young boy named Dinel started coming to church. He would always sit towards the back of the church and make things a little too lively. He always liked to laugh and kept others stirred up. It was actually quite hard to preach the gospel because Dinel was having so much fun keeping others entertained around him with his wise cracks.
I started praying that God would, save him, change him or move him out of the church. Two weeks later Dinel came forward and gave his life to Christ. Soon, he started coming to me and wanted me to teach him more about God and His ways.
Today Dinel is my Right Hand man in the ministry here in Deye-Mon. He helps with work around the mission station and runs to town for me to purchase supplies and food for the feeding program. He leads the praise and worship in church, loves evangelism, goes with me on hiking trips and shares the love of Jesus where ever he goes.
Four days ago, I sent Dinel by motorcycle to the town of Cayes to cash a check to pay the school teachers and to buy supplies for the dental team coming this Saturday. He was almost to Cayes when a cow that had gotten loose, ran across the road in front of him and ran him off the road. The motorcycle flipped and sent him flying into a garden.
He was knocked unconscious. Thankfully he had a helmet on, but still he hit his head very hard. He was taken to the mission hospital in Cayes and was treated for a minor head wound. The doctor also discovered his right hand was injured. They said it was dislocated at his wrist. He set it and placed a cast on it. It was soon discovered that it was worse than they had previously thought.
He was transferred to Port-au-Prince and is in the hospital at this time. He must have surgery to repair the hand and wrist. I just got off the phone with Dinel and found the bill to be more than we expected. The Doctors told him he will loose all use of his hand if they do not operate immediately.The bill will be $5700.00 US dollars. He does not have this kind of money and he needs our help.
The bill will cover the surgery, hospital stay and all expenses related to his recovery. Would you please pray with me that the funds needed would be made available in short order? I have borrowed $1000.00 to help him get started with the process to have surgery, but we pray the funds come in immediately to cover it all.
The following pictures show Dinel in some of his activities with us and the mission ministries.
Thank you for praying and helping us to save his hand!
Blessings,
David
