"The gang members have the freedom to do whatever they want to do because those who are in charge politically speaking, the Haitian Government is the godfather of the gang members; they support the. 

So, our only Hope is GOD...."               Pastor Charlie

A Pastor and 15 members of his congregation were murdered by gang members while they were worshipping recently in Haiti.  Pastor Charlie sent me the article by way of the WhatsApp.  The leader of the gangs placed a hit on pastors and journalists.  We do not even hear about these atrocities in our news media.  This gives us an idea of what is possible when the "rule of Law' fails, and the righteous function of government descends into a dictatorship.  It is sad but our nation is headed in that direction.

We must pray for those who stand in the breach and hold positions that should function as a check and balance to prevent dictators from seizing power and imposing their will on the masses of people in our nation.  So many of them have already failed the test.  The prayers of the righteous will avail.  Pray and participate in democracy while we still have a democracy.  Know that your vote matters and will be effective.

These are the last and evil days in which we are now living.   As Pastor Charlie has said, "Our only Hope is God."  Our congregation continues to send $1,000 every month in support of our brothers and sisters in Haiti.

Blessings and Be Safe,

                Pastor Stanley M. Jacobs, Sr.
