Our HOPE is in God who said, "If MY people, which are called by MY name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and then turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will HEAL their land." No man can pluck us out of our Father's hand. PTL I am writing to ask you to pray for Mexico Philippeau from Haiti who goes to National Institute of Oncology & Radiobiology in Havana, Cuba Feb 3rd for surgery for a mouth tumor. He is due to be there for a month. Thank you for those who contributed for the needed surgery. Please also pray that the contribution arrives safely in Cuba to the hospital as Cuba is under an embargo. Thank you for your prayers & thank God for His perfect will. Blessings Mary =====February 2/6/21 (Email) Thank you for prayers for Mexico & surgery in regard to the life threatening mouth tumor. Much unrest & uncertainty in our world. Where do we turn? Our faith in God: Ps 91:1-4 "He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings shall you trust: His truth shall be your shield and buckler.." God gives words of comfort & hope: v-14-16 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known My name: He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With length of days will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation." Mexico's flight into Cuba for his surgery was delayed because of covid lockdown in Cuba. Only Cubans were allowed to fly. Mexico's flight and surgery have been postponed though they know it is a medical emergency. There is continued unrest & violence in Haiti. Towards Les Cayes, the pastor of the Baptist church, past Formond (precinct area) Baptist was shot & killed going to the bank. Pastor Prince was to have met with him on Friday to help them with their evangelism program. We are so sorry that this could happen in our area & grieve with his family & (big) church. I pray for things to calm down so I can return & share the Gospel & encourage others to do so to. It is God who changes hearts. May we stand faithful in our faith. Mary 2/13/21 (Email) Enclosed are notes from "Healing the Nations: A Call to Global Intercession" by John Loren Sandford What do you think about this end-times intercession ministry for healing of the nations? Intercession begins in the heart of God. God’s Holy Spirit broods over His creation, finding what has become void & then moving to fill it through intercession of His own. God has been preparing us to be a people for Himself: blood washed, cross-crucified, resurrection-transformed children of God who are maturing, warriors for others. We need to be Crucified Purity does not come without death. Jn 12:24 ". • Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground & die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit." Anything in us apart from the likeness of Christ must find death on His cross. • Gal 5:24 “Those who believe in Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions & desires” (we do it). Gal 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ” (something done to us by the Holy Spirit). There can not be one without the other. We must move ourselves into position so He can crucify us. • How? It is only when we forget about ourselves & obey God’s call to serve others that we give Him permission to put us into circumstances & situations that crucify our old nature. It is only as Jesus’ love pours through us for others that resurrection life overcomes what we have been & transforms us into His likeness. If we set out to serve God in obedience, He crucifies us & makes us new & holy creatures in Him. • 1Jn 3:3 As Jesus lives unto the Father, we live right with God in loving service to God for the sake of whoever God calls us to love & serve. • We must come into a pure & perfect hatred of “what is evil” Rom 12:9. • Only when our Father’s perfect love infuses our hearts & causes us to siphon death out of others to our Lord’s cross, only when we experience with Him the desperate cost of sin, do we come into a perfect & righteous hatred of it. This kind of hate is born of love. We allow Him to flood His life back through us to resurrect His own. • (2Cor 4:10-12). "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death works in us, but life in you." God our Father must find a people willing to serve beyond the familiar, beyond the walls of Christianity, for an uncaring, unloving world that does not deserve His love but will receive it anyway if enough of the Father’s own will respond to the call. God our Father seeks to extend mercy to the nations, until He can present them as gifts to His Son. Ps 2: 8 "Ask of Me & I shall give You the nations for Your inheritance & the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession." He waits on high to have compassion on us. Isa 30:18 “And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you & therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him.” “I believe his response awaits 2 factors: 1. We understand many things & pray accurately in His wisdom. It might take more maturity. 2. Unity not isolated. God wants an army. Strongholds can not prevail where He who is the truth is manifested through the love of an army, all laying down their lives as He did. We can win this war. Eph 6:12-13 . Our Father has not abandoned us to what we deserve. The flood of His love is greater than that of Satan. He is calling. He wants hearts through whom He can heal His tattered & broken earth. That is holiness. That is purity. The reward? We get to see Jesus as He is. Fix that hope on us, Lord. Those whom the Lord calls to stand for Him for the healing of the nations must be committed wholeheartedly to loving & cherishing what Jesus loves: unity in God. The righteous nation of the Church & nations of the world wait for that kind of loving, self-dying fellowship. Jn 17:21. "That they all may be one: as You, Father, are in Me, & I in You, that they also may be One in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me." Guidelines for Those who would Serve God for The Healing of the Nations • 1. Come to know the Father intimately. • 2. Stand in your faith as rocks in a sea of chaos. • 3. Act at all times within the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. • 4. Be a corps or army on whom our Father can depend. • 5. Commit to not becoming reabsorbed in our own issues in the coming days of spiritual warfare & the healing of the nations. • 6. Commit to give ourselves as living sacrifices for burden-bearing intercessory prayer. • 7. Be available to be summoned into extraordinary heavenly councils for nations as the Father wills. Jeremiah 23:18, 22 spoke forcefully about councils of God that should have been attended by men. “Who has stood in the council of the Lord, that he should see & hear His Word? Who has given heed to His Word & listened? • If they had stood in My council, then they would have announced My Words to My people & would have turned them from their evil way & from the evil of their deeds.” We need to be wrapped in such corporate glory of Him with one another that it elevates our minds & hearts beyond carnal feelings & thoughts into feeling & thinking with Him & in Him for what He wants. Such a people will tear down what Satan builds & build what God wants. Rom 13:9-10 "..You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." Gal 6:2 "Bear you one another's burdens & so fulfil the law of Christ." I hope to return to Haiti, Monday morning. May God's will be done, and may He bless us to be a part of it. Amen. Mary =====March 3/17/21 Email Subj: Things are hot for change in Haiti. Biden administration is looking into best way to help a country with dictator president who participates in kidnapping. May God give them wisdom. Dear friends and family. Thanks for prayers for my younger sister, Vickie Wise, who suffered a heart attack from a blood clot to the heart, who is recovering. Thank you for prayers for Mexico Philippeau who was to have surgery for a mouth tumor. Everything has not yet fallen into place for the needed surgery, but we know God is working and everything is in His timing. God has given safety in travel in Les Cayes and the countryside. God is praised in the churches; we continue sharing the Gospel door to door & in the street. We have had 3 seminars on Encouraging Evangelism in Randal, Cavillon, and Comperin and 1 youth training in Evangelism and have plans to go on evangelism with their teams. We have 2 seminars planned this week in another department of Haiti, Nippe department. We go by longer trip taptap & taxi-motorcycle. Next week there is a seminar in St Louis beyond Cavillon. We pray for health, strength & sound mind with the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is so exciting to meet Christians in these different places and to encourage them to follow Christ's command and proclaim the only way to restore relationship with our God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ with the result of living pleasing to Him (Rom 13:8-10) empowered by the Holy Spirit. God's way is best, and especially in hard times we must live it, proclaim it and leave the rest in the hands of a sovereign God. Amen. Mary. =====April Blessings in the midst of turmoil.

The ongoing work of the Evangelism Commission is to provide seminars on Encouraging Evangelism in all 19 cities of the SUD or South Department (one of ten departments) in Haiti this year. We reached Covaillon and St Louis in March as well as 3 other cities:Rendel, city & country Nippe (Department Nippe) and a church in outer Compperin and held church trainings in Laurent with Pastor Senel and in Barthelmy with Pastor Timothy per their request even in the ongoing rainy season. ===== 4/14/21 7:51pm Blessings in the midst of turmoil. Thank you friends and family for prayers and contributions to continue the giving of the gospel and encouraging of others in evangelism too. The ongoing work of the Evangelism Commission is to provide seminars on Encouraging Evangelism in all 19 cities of the SUD or South Department (one of ten departments) in Haiti this year. We reached Covaillon and St Louis in March as well as 3 other cities:Rendel, city & country Nippe (Department Nippe) and a church in outer Compperin and held church trainings in Laurent with Pastor Senel and in Barthelmy with Pastor Timothy per their request even in the ongoing rainy season. Our plan is to encourage the churches to have an ongoing evangelism program, provide support and encouragement, provide tracts and New Testaments for converts and discipleship lessons for participating churches and prepare to enlist them in the citywide evangelism days in Les Cayes Nov 1 & 2. We pray for help to establish a web site for this ministry. As we continue to plan and give the Gospel, I may need to go home to help my sister, Vickie Wise, recovering from a heart attack, now diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Please pray for her. I thank you. In that case Pastor Prince will continue the ministry, evangelism with churches and distribution of tracts and New testaments. Pastor Jean (John) Chery and Pastor Prince will continue the seminars on "Encouraging Evangelism". Praise the Lord for 380 decisions in 2020 and 34 Jan-Mar 2021. Everything is in his hands. If anyone feels called to participate in this ministry, please let us know. Mary. =====May =====June 6/3/21 10:30pm Matt 25:40 "..as you have done it unto one of the least of them, my brethren, you have done it unto Me." Dear family and friends, Thank you for your prayers, contributions and Mansfield Baptist Temple (T.Chr.Sch) for the great contribution of boxes of NT with Psalms & Proverbs. Thank you for prayers for my sister, Vicki Wise in treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer. Because she faces this alone, I believe God wants me here in Mansfield, Ohio with her at this time, Please pray for Pastor Jean Wilfrid Prince, whom God has blessed to continue this ministry. God has blessed with 21 decisions for Christ in April. One was a voodoo worshiper, worshipping demons, but now is faithful in Pastor Prince's Church. In my absence, Pastor Prince conducted a Spirit-filled seminar "Encouraging Evangelism" north of Comperin. God continued to bless in May in evangelism with 5 participating church pastors with 21 decisions and 4 Evangelism Seminars for 30-50 leaders & pastors each in Chantel, Platon, Muniche & Torbeck. Pastor Prince also continues 2 weekly Bible studies; one is for Fanes (converted witch doctor), family and others, north of the airport and the 2nd is west at infant church ministry in Valere as well as for his own church. We have served in partnership with Pastor Emilio Voltaire, President of Association of Protestant Churches and others including Pastor Jean Chery as founders of the "Evangelism Commission" holding Evangelism Training Seminars in each of the 19 cities of the SUD Department, one of 10 departments of Haiti. The goal is to encourage all participating Protestant Churches to commit to an Evangelism program. Pastor Prince continues to offer to assist the participating churches with training & going out on evangelism with them. We provide tracts and will provide NT to those converts who come to participating churches. We will invite them to participate in the Les Cayes Citi-wide Evangelism Nov 1&2. In regard to Mexico Philippeau, Dr Roger, the American facial surgeon plans to schedule Mexico's surgery in his next trip to Haiti, after Mexico has a biopsy with Dr. Willy at Partners in Health Hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti. I trust God to lead for me to return to Haiti and/or to send a younger evangelistic couple to this exciting ministry of sharing the Gospel and leading precious souls to Christ including birthing a ministry to those deceived in voodoo. Until then I know I must be open to share the Gospel and encourage others to do so here in USA. In Love of Christ, Mary =====July 7/21/21 12:05am (email) My sister Vicki Wise went to be with the Lord after a battle with ovarian cancer, June 28, 2021. I continue to stay in the Mansfield, Ohio area to help settle her affairs. As well, starting July 18, I am participating in fair evangelism at Crawford, Knox & Richland county fairs.The first day God blessed us with 15 decisions. Meanwhile, midst the turmoil in Haiti,God blessed Pastor Prince and church pastors with 21 decisions for Christ in June. We continue to pray for both our countries and especially the people who struggle so, to survive and be safe..Covid has just hit this summer in the Haitian capitol & cities along with the political unrest. The countryside was calm but for the lack of gasoline for transportation. I look to God's leading as to when to return to Haiti but continue to encourage Pastor Prince in ministry of evangelism and discipleship of believers.  Praise the Lord, hearts are still open to receive Him. We must stand firm in our faith and in the love of God to encourage others. God is our hope in these troubled times: Zech 1:3 "..Turn ye unto Me, saith the LORD of Hosts; and I will turn unto you." Zech 4:6 "  Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Daniel 2:20-22 "Daniel said, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His;  And He changeth the times and seasons; He removeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.;"' ' Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Because Col 1"27  ".. Christ in you, the hope of Glory." Love and prayers, Mary =====July =====August =====September =====October 10/10/21 Email Dear friends & family, I thank you for your prayers and support. As I prepare to return to Haiti, I see a world trying to do things without God, without the guidance of God our Creator as if He was not. And I pray for Christians to be revived, humble before Almighty God, all of us in repentance for our lack of faith and obedience and taking for granted the freedom He had given us. Yet may we be firm in our stand for salvation by the Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. No matter what befalls, we know our God is in control. We need not fear but trust Him as we watch and pray and look to Him. Not as Peter, who looking to Jesus started to walk on the water, but when He took his eyes off Jesus, began to sink. But even then when he called out, "Lord, Save Me," Jesus brought him back into the boat of safety. For we are sisters and brothers "in Christ" who is our hope in whom we live for His Glory, Romans 5:1-2 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." We pray for all the missionaries God has sent everywhere in the world and the people He sent them to, to be converted and brought into closer relationship with Himself. Jesus said in Matt 24:14: "And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." We believe this means end of church age with the gathering up of Christians to meet the Lord in the air. So, while I have been in US since April, Pastor Wilfrid Prince has carried on our ministry of encouraging churches in evangelism in seminars and church evangelism teams, forming the Association of Protestant Pastors' Evangelism Commission and planning for the 3rd annual Nov 1 & 2 citiwide evangelism of Les Cayes, Haiti. We pray for wisdom and leading of God to go especially after the earthquake hit Les Cayes and general demise of the government in Haiti. The Evangelism commission prays for a jeep for use in transportation in Encouraging Evangelism all over the country of Haiti which would promote many people coming to Christ there including many from voodoo population. Thank you again for your prayers for God's work worldwide. PTL. Mary. PLEASE NOTE: CT editor update: I called for updates and Mary has already left for Haiti! Today, 10/19/21 at noontime I spoke with Joanne (@Mansfield Baptist Temple)and she said Mary had left 10/15/21, on Friday for FL, and Debbie had told her she is in Haiti and safe now. We all now know now ...Over that weekend 17 Christian Aid Mission missionaries (an OH ministry not associated with her) were abducted for $1m ransom each by 400 Mawozo, a power gang there. Debbie has now confirmed she did arrive safely. Let us be fervently in prayer for the Haitian people and all missions works there. --Br. Pat =====November 11/6/21 Email "Because of promise of eternal life we don't have to grieve but go on with the whole armor of God, strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, that we may withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Praying always.. and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and to boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. amen. There were 101 decisions for Christ reported so far in the Nov 1 & 2 citiwide evangelism of Les Cayes. PTL.

Mary" 11/11/21 Email "People struggle in Haiti. They don't like the corruption, stealing & kidnapping in Haiti. They don't like what is happening with our missionaries. People have been without gas. We were paying about $30.00 a gallen to prepare for ministry of Nov 1&2 citiwide evangelism Les Cayes: 101 decisions. PTL.

Thank you for prayers. Mary" 11/17/21 email -- People struggle so in Haiti. Only hope is God. So no matter what, we try to get out in evangelism and attend meetings encouraging evangelism and discipleship. We are to go to Comperin [Camp Perin]? tomorrow to help a church plant & have an evangelism seminar in Arniquet [see for locale info: https://haiti.fandom.com/wiki/Arniquet] next week, Lord willing. God has blessed with an opportunity to purchase a strong vehicle for the Evangelism Department which we are forming. It is a 2005 Nissan Frontier truck in excellent condition for $7000 US. The owner is going back to America. Thanks for your prayers as we pray for you. Mary =====December 2021 12/15/21 email --Thank you for your faithfulness in prayers and support of God's work going forward in all places.   Exciting news in Haiti: 1. A year ago we asked for prayer for a Christian named "Mexico" with a serious condition of a mouth tumor. After several attempts to help him, Cuba was just opened up to Haitians and Mexico is now in the hospital there awaiting his surgery. Thank you for all who prayed and /or gave contribution for him last year. 2. We praise the Lord for a new web site promoting our Evangelism Ministry in Haiti being developed by "Kerschner Designs" in USA. It is called Haiti-evangelism-in-action.com. We will let you know when it is finished. 3. When we did an Encouraging Evangelism Seminar for the mission president of Bethesda International south Haiti, it was video taped to the president of whole mission in NY. He was very pleased with the Bible presentation and wants us to continue to teach it throughout his mission area. He said, "This is what the church needs to hear at this time." We give the glory to God because it is His Word, committed to the Church to tell the world "until the end comes" Mt 24:14. PTL. We continue in evangelism and are encouraging discipleship too. A young man accepted Christ at our Bible study Tuesday with Fanes, the former witchdoctor. This is such exciting work I would pray for others to join us. I come home for Christmas next week in Florida and then Ohio in January and hope and pray to return to Haiti end of January. Thank you for prayers we gave for each other too. God bless you in your Christmas. Mary
