You shall no more be termed Forsaken
Patrick Villier is the president of CONASPEH in Haiti, a grassroots movement of 6,000 plus congregations and our largest church partner in Haiti for almost three decades.
In a phone conversation on Friday, Patrick said, "The situation on the ground is very difficult. We are grieving the loss of our foster son. Also the losses to the CONASPEH family have been enormous. It is very difficult for us to keep our faith. The only reason we know that God has not abandoned us is through the solidarity and critical presence that we recieve from you through Global Ministries. It's the only hope we have now. Please pray for us."
You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her.
