Update: Days 11-20 of 40 Days of Prayer for Hospital Bienfaisance of Pignon
Please continue to pray for the hospital, the region and the people of Haiti for 40 days.
What is happening?(some comments from the Nikkels)
We had our third meeting this morning and it's going well. We have had 10-14 people each day so far and I anticipate more. Stacey did a great job on the scriptures and people really like them. I asked for help in leading and have had volunteers each day basically lead and come up with the program for the day. We sing, then pray and sing and pray and then someone gives a short meditation on the scripture and we pray and sing and we're done. The handout Stacey put together is great and people are really praying earnestly for the hospital. The only downside so far is getting up at 5:30 every day!
The people here are excited to have a prayer outlet...they want to extend the prayer time from 30 to 50 minutes. They say it isn't enough!
One of the men there runs a store on the market and we have known him for quite awhile. He is not someone I would ever have expected to come to the prayer meetings, but he is good at praying and leads some days. He told a story this morning about how he had no intention of coming to pray at the hospital. The night before we started he had a dream that a rush of clean water shot out of a well at the hospital and washed through the hospital and all of Pignon cleansing it. People were laughing and bathing in it and praising God. So he decided he needed to come! I pray he is right!
From Dec. 9-18 pray for:
· Dr Guy- (founder of the hospital mission is running for President of Haiti) protection and
health for his political campaign / wisdom and direction from God
· The hospital mission board both locally in Pignon (Committee de Bienfaicanse)and stateside (Promise for Haiti) for wisdom, discernment, and guidance
· For the students/teachers that are sponsored through the HELP (Haitian Education and Literacy Program) scholarship program in the Christian Schools. Pray for release from poverty
· Pray for protection for Jared and Stacey Nikkel and family as they lead this effort
A few scriptures are provided for each 10 period and of course we want you to pray as the Spirit leads, these are just some of the things on our hearts.
Days 11-20 (December 18-27)
Matthew 6:33-3433 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Psalm 105:3-5 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 5 Remember the wonders he has done,

Luke 18:7-87 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" New International Version (NIVCopyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by Biblica
