A Tap Tap Driver
Wildor Jean
Hello,
We hope your summer has been enjoyable. For us it has been going by way too fast. I am trying to treasure the moments though.
I wanted to share a encouraging story with you from Mike this time.
Last Thursday Mike shared a teaching on the difference between a "servant and a son" with over 200 of our pastors and leaders. It was his last weekly teaching for our School of Ministry for this school year and he combined the teaching with the bi-monthly teaching for our larger group of pastors and leaders in our churches. After the ministry time, it was reported to him that one man had given his life to Jesus as a result of the message. He was thrilled of course for the conversion, but was also concerned that one of our pastors or leaders might not have felt completely saved, and he wondered what might have been the reason.
After inquiring further as to who this man was? Mike was told that it was the Tap Tap driver (taxi driver) who had been hired to bring a group of leaders from the Denonville church. The man had been sitting on the porch listening to the message and when people were invited to receive prayer, he came forward and said that God told him to surrender his life to Jesus. Praise God! This is the 'rest of the story'.
Wildor Jean shared that when he was a little boy his father would bring him to an Adventist church, but his father died when he was very young and the whole family stopped attending church.
He said that he is 45 years old now and tries to make a living as a Tap Tap driver. He is not married, but has a woman who lives with him. He has tried to have children with two other women in the past, but is still childless. He shares that he has been a gambler and visits witch doctors.
He also shared that some of his sisters had tried to tell him about Jesus, but it was not the right time. He said that today when he brought some of the leaders and pastors to the conference for the teaching he decided to sit on the church steps instead of in his vehicle. He said that as Pastor Mike shared he felt the necessity to "come to Jesus now".
He asks for prayer for two things, the first being that he would have the strength to stay with Jesus forever and the second need was for his truck to keep working as it breaks down frequently. Will you join with us in praying for Wildor Jean?
We also want to thank you for your faithfulness in coming along side this ministry and the people of Haiti. We so appreciate your faithful support.
Blessings, Chris
