While trapped in the rubble she said, "God, if I make it out alive, I will follow you"

Dr Ottenweller at Haiti church buildingThree baptisms in Haiti, from Wilner Cornerly's blog... Today was a very productive day. We started out with a devotional in the morning and had some great singing and a time of prayer. Then we headed out to Carrefour where the site the farthest away from the city is. We met with the disciples there, had a devotional while another group of us was setting up for clinic afterwards. The disciples there were very encouraged as we helped them set up their site and simultaneously provided well needed medical assistance to 25 people. Nickie's creole improved considerably as she was the nurse assistant/translator for Dr. Bowen.

Then we left for the ocean for the baptism of a woman named Yvrose who had been studying the bible since the earthquake. She was pulled out from under the rubbles where she was trapped and some of our brothers were able to pull her out. She had a broken leg but made it out alive. And her oath from under the rubble was:  "God, if I make it out alive, I will follow you". Interestingly enough, God sent the brothers to get her out since she lived close to the church building. Her daughter had been a disciple for a while and though she had studied the bible, she never made a decision.

By the power of God, the church in Port-au-Prince had 3 baptisms. Two other men were baptized in Carrefour also this week though all the disciple are living in the street. God does have a way of encouraging the brokenhearted!
