In February 2012, HZB visited the town of St. Marc in Haiti. We were hosted by Touch Ministries – Pastor Gary Walker, and his wife, Dr. Carolyn Walker, who have established an English-based school, an orphanage, and a Bible college.
HZB ministered twice at El Shaddai School during their chapel service, and witnessed many children surrender their lives to Christ. HZB also had the opportunity to visit the orphanage and see firsthand the work being done by Touch Ministries in the lives of these children.
We were privileged to minister twice at seminars aimed at teaching about honoring the person of the Holy Spirit. As a result, wrong beliefs and teachings that plague the church there were demolished, and a large number of people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. HZB was also invited to minister in Port-au-Prince, and lead church services for five consecutive days in the town of St. Marc. The people there proved committed to their Christian walk, and hungry for the Word of God. They came every day in large numbers, walking long distances to participate.
It is reported that recently more people are attending church in Haiti than ever before. These are special times for the country, and the field is ripe for harvest. God is moving in a unique way, and HZB must prepare for the deluge of souls coming into the Kingdom. We are eager to continue our ministry there in 2012 through Bible instruction, food and clothes drive, and any other program that becomes feasible.

Dominican Republic Mission Report - January 2012
HZB visited Santiago in January 2012 to follow up on the growth of the church, and to establish a leadership training program.
We are happy to report that the church has grown spiritually and in numbers, with a membership of about 104. Two groups of children attend Sunday school. Sunday activities consist of Bible studies for adults and children, followed by a two-hour service. The highlights this past year include the creation of a new praise and worship group, several water baptisms, the celebration of various marriages, and the dedication of new babies to the Lord.
In January 2012, HZB was privileged to launch a leadership training program to train new leaders, so they can go out and train others. Our students are eager and committed.
We will continue our outreach to the different communities in and around Santiago through Bible instruction, leadership training, food and clothes distribution, as well as any other program that becomes feasible.

Dominican Republic Mission Report - January 2011
Dear Friends,
Once again the HZB team was in Santiago in January to continue its work with the Haitian community. The response to our evening Bible studies and church services was tremendous. Many lives were touched, people were delivered, filled with the Holy Spirit, and children were dedicated to the Lord.
We are happy to report an appreciable growth in Pastor Amazan's church, both spiritually and in numbers. Church activities for their 80 members plus children include weekly Bible study and prayer meeting for the adults, Sunday school for the children, and Sunday Bible study followed by a church service for the whole congregation. In the past year, many have received water baptism, and several marriages were celebrated.
Our ministry witnessed firsthand the impoverished conditions in the 'batey', a Haitian community in the town of Esperanza: little or no food, houses made of carton and tin taken from dumpsters, mud floors, no electricity, no schools, one faucet of running water for the whole community. In the face of such tremendous difficulties, the people showed great courage. Men could be seen working in the nearby rice fields; women were busy washing clothes, cooking, taking care of the children; and young girls and boys worked, carrying water in buckets. We thank God that we could help some families through the distribution of clothes and toiletry items.
It has been two years since HZB began its work in the Dominican Republic, and we praise God for changing so many lives. In 2011 our outreach to the different communities in and around Santiago will continue through Bible instruction, leadership training, food and clothes distribution, as well as any other program that becomes feasible.

The Nation of Haiti Needs Our Prayers
For many years the nation of Haiti has endured much hardship, but in the past year, the adversities that have plagued the country - earthquake, floods, cholera outbreak, and now civil unrest - have resulted in great destruction and intense suffering for the Haitian people.
Even so, God's plans and purposes for Haiti shall be fulfilled. Haiti shall live! As we stand together ready and willing to intercede for the nation, God will form in us the vision of a reborn Haiti - the new "Hephzibah" or delight of God. He will use our intercession as catalyst to "rebuild the ancient ruins, restore the places long devastated; renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations." (Isa. 61:4)
As God's appointed watchmen, our participation is indeed most valuable. For Haiti's sake, we will stand united, and not keep silent until this beautiful island is made a praise in the earth.
