Post # 11, Jesus Christ and Haiti.

In 2004 Haiti broke their bondage to Satan and through prayer they chose Christ.  A common slogan is heard everywhere, "Haiti for Christ and Christ for Haiti".  Witch doctors are giving up their practices and burning their temples.
More than two-thirds of the labor force do not have formal jobs.  People live in abject poverty and many receive in a year what many North Americans receive in just a week's salary.  They live in densely populated communities.  They often have more than 8 people in a house that measures only 12' x 12'.
Although many Haitians are poor, they dress the best they can and take pride in what little they have.  They keep their homes spotlessly clean and are wonderful hosts to visitors.
