President of the University of the People, Shai Reshef, with some of the CC P-au-P students in our computer lab. April 2013.

I (Seige Poteau) am so sorry for not updating the blog for over a year. Not blogging does not however means lack of activities in the ministry. In fact, I have been so busy that I don't even know how I survived this past year.
I am still looking for a committed church member to take over the blog so we can do a better job with it. We have over 60 people working full or part time in the ministry (Calvary Christian Family, Boot Camp for Street Kids, Computer School and the church) plus over 100 volunteers on weekends, all either too busy or not having the required skills to do the blog. There are people in the church who could do it but we are looking for someone who is actively serving.
I thank God for all of you friends and supporters of the ministry for not giving up on us despite the lack of newsletters and blog entries. The church continues to grow spiritually and numerically (over 800 adults and over 500 kids).
Here are some pictures of the latest baptism (we have baptism every month):

Looking at our 2012 Prayer Requests, only #6 and #9 still stand today. We thank you for your prayers.

Haiti, What (Type of) Reconstruction?

Haiti, Quelle Reconstruction?
That was the title of the Conference / Concert / Cocktail sponsored by Calvary Chapel Port-au-Prince and Monique Cesar Guillaume Ministries at the Karibe Convention Center on September 24, 2011. Were invited, the decisions takers of our society. This was a huge success and we are already working on the 2012 calendar to target specific group to stop and think about the problem of this land. The solution starts with God guiding the path of men through practical ways.
The speakers were Steve Cole and Buz Underhill III
Reconstruction starts with the inner man: Relationship with God through Jesus-Christ and religion.

Don't stop following your dreams

"Don't stop following your dreams" was the title of the message last Sunday in our church CC P-au-P. I asked to congregation to share their dreams with me and the feedback was tremendous. Matthew 28: 20b was the key verse: "I am with you always to the end of the age". If you are a Christ Follower, the sky is the limit of what you can accomplish. Go ahead and make something happens for the glory of God.

Street Kids Ministry

This background is a picture of our street kids beach baptism in 2008.
We are praying about resuming the street kids ministry by doing a boot-camp that will last a few years. That will require:
1) about 6 acres of land that we don't intend to buy but to enter a partnership with another ministry that owns such property already;
2) to have a couple of police officers in our assembly to step up and lead this ministry; that will require the police department to keep them in their payroll for the amount of time required (rotation may work).
3) for a couple of churches to partner with us to build the necessary facility and help run the place;

The Lord is already in this and is gathering the human ressources already from feedback we have so far from folks coming to CC Port-au-Prince.

Help us pray about this project as we have been talking about it for a while now but we see that the Lord is moving the hearts of our congregation currently.

On the move

On the move.
Went to visit my sick mother in law in Montreal, my relatives in mourning in Roselle, NJ, officiated my niece's wedding in Long Island, NY and now in Palm Bay, FL on my way to Haiti by week end. I'll try posting pictures soon.
My love to all you for praying for the ministry in Haiti. This Sunday we will have a 2nd Sunday morning service. Children ministry continues to grow, 200 children last Sunday.

God's blessings and the Holy Spriti's anointing on all you.
Love you.
