Pastor Dieupie Chérubin, pastor of Hosanna Baptist Church in Jacmel, Haiti, will be in the United States for the month of June. Hosanna is a landmark institution in the Jacmel community, and "Pastor D's" zeal for the Gospel and outreach in Jacmel has produced countless opportunities to spread the Good News. Cults and isms are on the increase, and Islam has been making huge inroads in Haiti since the earthquake. Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTH) on the Hosanna campus, is a bulwark training Haitian pastors as a safeguard against many prevalent false doctrines across southern Haiti. "Pastor D" will be sharing the burden of the seminary with churches and individuals. See the schedule below for a a location near you.

In 2012, Pastor Chéubin traveled and spoke in churches in Miami, Orlando, Winter Haven, Atlanta, Greenville, New York, Lake Ariel, Winston-Salem and Rockford, Illinois. We are so thankful for all of the churches that allowed him to present the ministry located in Jacmel, Haiti.

Pastor Nathan Osborne of Faith Baptist Church in Winter Haven, Florida, recently welcomed a special guest from Jacmel, Haiti:

At the Sunday evening service on June 10, 2012 FBC welcomed Pastor Dieupie Chérubin of Mission for Haiti. Jacmel, in the southern region of Haiti , was the very close to the epi center of the 2010 earthquake that eventually claimed 330,000 lives across the country.

“Pastor D,” who pastors Hosanna Baptist Church, challenged the listeners with the thought, “Are You Serving the Lord?” (Josh.24:15). Within the message were many illustrations of God using this national tragedy to bring people to the saving grace found in Jesus Christ. Church attendance has exploded, and believers are being baptized and discipled. The seminary is preparing many for ministry, and the youth camp will be full this summer. The new radio station encourages young believers in their walk with the Lord and is instrumental in many coming to Christ.

"Thanks to 'Pastor D' for the challenge to serve Christ, and to Mission for Haiti for demonstrating 65 years of faithful service."

Hosanna Radio is dedicated to broadcasting a sound that is biblically precise – a sound that accurately convicts and convinces the hungry spirits and souls of our beloved Haitians. Thank you for praying, because we see the miracle of this station as proof of your prayers! Our signal began the first week of January and on the first anniversary of the earthquake (January 12, 2011), we broadcasted a live six-hour service of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, with hundreds attending. The first week, a young lady named Judith called the station in despair wondering if it were possible for her to accept Christ to avoid evil spirits that had been sent to torment her. She came to the station and prayed – and with tears of joy coming down her face she cried, “I’m delivered.”

Hosanna Radio is bringing phenomenal response from both the saved and unsaved communities. They listen on their cell phones; they call us; they text us; they come to visit the church to see what we are all about. Some call the station “Jacmel’s salvation,” and ask why we made them wait so long for a Christian station! The unsaved comment that they don’t understand our programming (meaning they don’t know why we are playing the kind of conservative music that we are) but they like it because it’s different and they feel a spirit of calm. Please pray for Claude (station manager), Christen, and Joshua, our engineers. The fruit from Hosanna Radio is in the early stages!

Recent testimonial:
God is faithfully using Hosanna Radio.  A divorced young lady found herself caught in a relationship with a young man who refused to marry her despite her months of pleading. Very despondent one night and not able to sleep, she sat by her radio until the wee hours listening to messages by Pastor Dieupie Chérubin. By 3:00 AM, she was texting "Pastor D" through her tears and thanking him for restoring her hope in God’s forgiveness. She feared her lifestyle had blocked her from God and there was no more hope. The young man asleep in the same room was hearing the same messages subconsciously. By morning, he rolled over in the bed and said to her, “We’re getting married as soon as possible!” Startled, she inquired what was going on. He answered, “I dreamed that Pastor Dieupie was chasing me and asking me why I was living this way? We have to get married!” In short, a wedding is being planned, and two lives have been restored to the Savior!

Summer Camp 2012 Review

On July 8, 2012 Pastor Dieupie Chérubin, Hosanna Baptist Church members, and a Mission for Haiti representative stood on the campus of "Camp Bossier by the Sea" and made a formal dedication of the buildings and property to the Glory of God. "Pastor D’s" strong prayer of dedication became the prelude for this summer’s camping activities, thus making this oceanfront property purchased by Baptist Mid-Missions missionaries nearly 30 years ago ‘‘a tree of life’’ for spiritual growth and blessing on the southern coast of Haiti.

Though the campus was not yet complete, the actual facilities were very functional and camp moved along beautifully! The spiritual results from campers were a blessing with 27 professions of faith and countless decisions for changes in their personal lives as they came forward with tears and weeping. The Lord used the theme ‘‘Pulling Down the Strongholds’’ to convict many of their lying, stealing, bad language, bad friends, immorality, and such. Most campers confessed that they had never had a personal time of daily devotion with God in His Word. Their testimonies revealed that they valued the ‘‘God and I time,’’ chapel, and the preaching services as much as the food and games. Campers were thrilled with all the facilities, especially their cabins, beds, and the restroom facilities inside each cabin. How grateful we are to God for making all this possible so as to impact lives for Christ and bring many souls into the Kingdom! This summer's photos > > >

‘‘That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.’’
Psalm 26:7

 What is Camp Bossier by the Sea?

CampsAbroad is Bible-based and was created to serve the local church by using a camping atmosphere to evangelize the lost and disciple believers. This ministry is an arm of THE WILDS Christian Camp and Conference Center in Brevard, North Carolina, which develops Christian camping ministries in other countries. Their Christ-centered programs, passionate preaching, and action-packed activities are structured to develop the individual spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Their objectives are achieved through a trained staff who model a caring, humble, Christ-like spirit in service to one another with love. 

These godly techniques are used in the United States and around the world to reach and mature thousands of young people year after year. We praise God for graciously allowing Mission for Haiti and Hosanna Ministries to be assisted by CampsAbroad in order to develop this unique and exciting Christian camp on a beautiful oceanfront setting in the southeastern coastal city of Jacmel. We pray this ministry will be used to build a new spiritual outlook among Haiti’s children, teens and young adults and move them away from satanic fear and darkness to the light of freedom in Christ.

Even though Hosanna Baptist Church now has double Sunday morning services since the earthquake, both services are full and have overflow areas. Before the quake their first open-air meeting yielded only one convert. In their second meeting, over 55 people came forward for salvation. In the four-day evangelistic crusade that was held in the place of Jacmel's Mardi Gras celebration, over 180 people came forward for salvation. Every Sunday at Hosanna Baptist Church and all of the nine sister churches individuals are walking the isles for salvation. Pastor Dieupie baptized over 160 new converts a few weeks ago in the annual Bible Conference / Homecoming services. Most of those being baptised are young adults whose god was education, but now it is the Lord Jesus Christ who can offer them hope and comfort through these difficult times. Hosanna Baptist Church has doubled its attendance since the quake and nearly 800 people are now attending the two services.

So how can you help? I'm glad you asked!

Please pray for Pastor and staff as they scramble to provide needed discipleship.

Please pray as we seek to use every possible opportunity to witness and lead others to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Please pray as we continue building small one- or two-room cottages for the church families who are still living in tents on the church property.

Please pray as we move back from our temporary classrooms into our permanent kindergarten, elementary, high school, and seminary buildings for the fall semester. We are looking at the possibility of more students coming who cannot pay for the tuition and books. Please pray as we seek to purchase books and pay the teachers.

"COME TO JESUS," was Pastor D's (Pastor Cherubin) passionate and persistent plea to a crowd of more than 2000 people standing in downtown Jacmel on February 15 - 18 (in the very spot where Mardi Gras Carnival is held yearly), and his invitation penetrated all of the downtown area. The crowd grew to almost 4000 strong Tuesday night. Many (160+) came to Christ for salvation during the four nights of meetings, and hundreds more came for individual prayer because of what they suffered during the earthquake. Three witch doctors accepted Christ during the week, one of whom is well-known in town and was not timid to announce his decision publicly. "I want to have a future with God . . . the demons have no future, and I know that," was one of the statements he made the evening before he came to Jesus. A woman witchdoctor who came to Christ on Wednesday evening asked that we come to her house and burn her fetishes in the presence of her witchdoctor father as her testimony to him. By Friday, he had turned to Christ also.

The people of Jacmel could not stop talking about the meetings. Those who were not in attendance heard the service over the radio. It was the talk of the town. Comments such as the following were heard throughout the city: "We have never publicly had anything like this in Jacmel," and "Jacmel has never heard the Gospel like this," and "Glory to God!"  GOD WAS GLORIFIED - though the enemy exercised his best efforts to frustrate us and do damage to the Gospel message. God used Pastor D and our musical team to confront the enemy head-on, and the grace of God was manifested in our team beyond our expectations. Their spiritual ministry became the governing spirit - even beyond their musical contribution. We don't even care to mention the enemy's subtle and blatant tactics because we are so overwhelmed by God's grace and power that covered us - and our hearts bow before Him in awesome wander!! Only in the annals of Heaven will we have an accurate record of what actually was accomplished spiritually in Jacmel. Our team was made up of Frank Garlock, Shelly Hamilton, Susan Jones and Lynsey Haught.

MFH wants to take this opportunity to thank the thousands who interceded before the Throne of Grace for these meetings. The power of God was at work in ways that could not be seen. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (II Corinthians 4:18)

The work of the Holy Spirit continues daily. Since the quake, Hosanna Ministries has seen the salvation of over 325 souls. Their church building and yard cannot even accommodate these in a Sunday worship service.  Likewise, the follow-up on all these converts is becoming very difficult. In short and above everything else, we covet your prayers for Pastor D and the over all ministry!!

In grateful praise and thanks to God,  Tom and Sarah Bennett.
