Many
of you know that I recently went to Haiti with the 1013 Mission Team. At the
One Family church, where we stayed, all of their worship
music and sermons are LOUD. As in, very LOUD. And the services aren’t just
Sunday mornings either. They take place at various times of the week. On the
Friday night we were there, they started a service at around 10pm and it lasted
until 3 am! Much of that church is open to the outside so you would definitely hear
it in the compound, but also far out into the village. I discovered that there
is a reason for that: advertisement and battle. They are tied together. You
see, voodoo is very prevalent in Haiti. From my understanding, it carries with
it a very dark, evil, sinister air to it. And from a distance on certain
nights, you would hear the voodoo drums beating to the voodoo practices that
would go on. Very chilling. And so, the church battles that with worship music
played loud. So the people hear it. The music rises in the air against that
which is dark and sinister. And you know what? The people come. Many new people
every time. Lives and souls being saved. The spiritual warfare, in many ways,
is fought through music. And that music
is played through the sound gear and instruments available to the church. Many
of them have fallen to disrepair. Some are simply broken. Some things they
simply don’t have. Believe it or not, those items are like the swords and
shields needed for battle. And we are going to help in that fight.
Attached
below is a link to the items that they need at One Family. Think of the list as
similar to a wedding registry: simply pick what you would want to buy (could be
one or more items. For example, you only need order one of the 3 microphones
listed – or you could order 2 or all 3) and then call Austin Bazaar who is working
with us to provide the items in need. Jeff Ekblad will be handling all the
orders. You can check out their
website (www.austinbazaar.com) but
you have to call to get the special pricing and ordering. Here is what you do:
1)
Contact Austinbazaar at: 800-511-1322 ext 202 and ask for Jeff
OR
2)
Email Jeff: jeff@austinbazaar.com
3)
Place your order and use reference number 38193 or just ask for Jeff
and let him know you want to order something for Haiti, he will know what it is
for. When we have a complete order it will be sent to me. I will, in turn, get
it to the next Haiti 1013 Mission team that makes the trip (sometime in February) They will deliver
it to the church.
