Immersions in 2016

We praise God that during this year 2016 there have been 1,453 souls who

have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord and obeyed Him in Christian bap-

tism. It is a great thrill to report to you that these native evangelists have writ-

ten to us that during January & February they along with our American Evan-

gelists have baptized 1,453 souls. Thank the Lord!!!

Zane Back In HaitiZane Back In HaitiZane Back In HaitiZane Back In Haiti I was supposed to have been in India and Dubai during the month of February, but the Indian Embassy delayed in issuing my visa so I had to cancel the trip for now. But when one door closes another door opens, this gave me the opportunity to accompany Alex Hammontree and Holly Greer to Haiti. Alex and Holly are working with White Fields and are spending one year on the field in Haiti. They will be working in community outreach and in women and children ministries. Please pray for them and their work. While I was in Haiti, the CMF group from Ohio was there finishing up a school building at Sainsurin’s school but they were

also able to paint two of our church buildings and install solar panels in one of them. Enery Christian Church was completely painted inside and out and Achin Christian Church was completely painted inside and out and also had solar panels in-stalled. The Village of Achin has no electricity, so this was a tremendous help to the church. As we see how

the solar panels work out, we will look at installing them in other churches too. I was able to preach at Raboteau Christian Church while in Gonaives. This is the church where Francius Joseph ministers. Francius was our very first orphan from the Jesus Loves Me Home that attended Bible College and became a preacher. We saw three people come forward that Sunday morning who were baptized into Christ. I was also able to preach a Sunday morning in Lambi, which is south of Port au Prince. This is the church that the late Jean Joseph St Juste started. As you may remember Brother Jean passed way in December, so I also had the opportunity to meet with a committee of his preachers to discuss the future. The area south of Port au Prince was the worst hit from the earthquake in 2010. I am pleased to say that 40 of the churches have been repaired and 6 have been rebuilt, but there are still 34 left that need to be rebuilt. They are currently meeting in tents until their churches are rebuilt. So please pray that we can get these churches rebuilt as quickly as possible.

Please check out our new redesigned website at www.white-fields.org. We

have new blogs, bios of our team members, information on where we work,

schedules of trips, and Reggie’s sermons are available on our website too.

India has been a nation of great importance to White Fields for decades. It has been blessed by our establishment of orphan-ages, medical ministries, and great evangelistic crusades by many of the best among us. Unfortunately a dramatic change occurred in that nation recently when zealous anti-Christian leaders took control of the government. When they learned of us they investigated various Indian ministers and obtained names of several of our evangelists. When they arrived their Visas were rejected and they were refused entry and forced to return at once. For this year’s Evangelistic Crusade meetings to succeed, it

was thought best to send a brother unknown to the government. When he applied for a Visa he was told that he must first purchase his airline ticket, which he did. However he was still refused a Visa as well as his request for a refund from the airlines. This created a crisis since all the plans had to be implemented quickly or all would begin to fall apart. By God’s providence I had previously obtained a special long term visa for India. By coded messages new plans were quickly made which added the establishment of a Bible Institute to the evangelistic ministry. Also I was taking IDES forms for flood relief expenses and would assist the ministers’ com-pletion of them. This provided a legitimate cover story if needed. Tragically one of the ministers could not complete the forms because he had been murdered, for money, by those he sought to help. As quickly as circumstances permitted, I flew to India as usual and arrived at Chennai late in the evening, having gotten little sleep or rest during the long flights over there. I was worried about the requirement, upon arrival, that I had to give the name of the motel where I would be staying. However I was fearful of staying in town, so we drove a long distance to a motel near our area of ministry. My hope was that they would not check on me, and apparently they didn’t, by God’s grace. The schedule was essentially to evangelize thirty (30) villages by preaching the Gospel to idol worshipers in three villages per day and Baptizing those who responded. Some days only two villages could be reached for various reasons. In those cases I would preach another day in four villages. God’s Little Angels was to also be visited. My tight schedule would permit only a few days for instructing the ministers in the establishment of the Bible Institute because it was added last.

It was a joy to visit God’s Little Angels, an orphanage for various age groups. By God’s providence I was given over 100 sets of tooth brushes and tooth paste for all. As a new treat I brought a device for creating huge bubbles that floated gently in the air. The children laughed and squealed with joy as they tried to catch them. Some watches were presented to selected group leaders. I presented to everyone the message that God loved us and adopted all of us who chose Him. Everyone reported that they were greatly blessed and encouraged by our visit. The challenge in village preaching was driving the long hours required to reach the scattered villages in remote places. Often this was complicated by human chains across these roads demanding a gift to a “god” before we could pass, forcing drivers to

speed into the lines making them decide between life or death. All chose life. Once there I worked to provide understanda-ble reasons that would convince them that Idols are false gods and that Jesus was a real person that proved He was God’s son and the savior of the world. The details of these arguments are too lengthy for this report. However I also used these events as an opportunity to teach the various ministers who rode with us a multitude of various arguments that could be useful. To be more efficient with the time required for these long trips, I asked the ministers Bible related questions for discussion. These revealed their need for a more formal Bible education. There were situations that involved unexpected demands. Once we drove to a place where roads ended and the village to be visited was a two mile walk there and back through weeds with a path only about five to eight inches wide. Part of it was along a narrow, hilly path and at times through streams. The danger was watching for cobras hiding in the grass. We were so far from civilization that one bite could result in death. That day the expression “walk in faith” had new meaning. The real danger would come later, suddenly and unexpectedly. We arrived at a village and as I sat waiting for introductions to end, and I was feeling eager to preach. Suddenly and myste-riously a great fatigue came over me. I tried to dismiss it as accumulated fatigue from the total traveling I had done and the fact that their daytime was my night time. I presented my full message sitting down and the invitation was given, but when I attempted to stand I couldn’t without help. When I tried to walk, I started to pass out and had to be helped to the car. I was taken to a motel where I got even worse and thought that I would die. Frantic calls to the U.S. were made in an attempt to have my flight rescheduled so that I could get an emergency return while my wife tried to set up an appointment with my doctor. I was shocked to learn that a major storm in my part of America had closed many of the airports and made a return impossible and no one knew when they would reopen. Realizing that I was too weak to function, I had all the Bible Institutes meetings cancelled. However I found that I could lie in bed and talk for hours. So for three days, I asked key leaders in my group to meet with me, bringing their Bibles with paper and pen, to take notes and pass them on to other preachers. I gave a multitude of practical, specific, guidelines, and scriptural references on how to keep converts and build self sup-porting, soul winning churches using the simple goal of “everyone win one in one year.” Briefly, when I returned, I

learned that my faith in their ability to win the lost as I had done was demonstrated by what they did without me. I was blessed with 458 responses and after I left they, on their own, had 213. This completed our goal of evangelizing 30 villages, and Baptizing all who con-fessed true faith in Christ and rejected all false gods. If they faithfully follow the plans and principles that they received, then we can expect to find across India, self supporting, soul winning N. T. churches.

Evangelist Doug Willis writes from Australia Greetings in Christ! The Lord be magnified! I have just been informed that the Indian consulate has denied my application for a business visa. After much prayer and trusting in God to intercede and after outlaying almost a $1,000 in application fees and flight cancellation pen-alties, I can now be assured that this is God's will. Many of you also have been praying. I am grateful for your support. So knowing we have done our part we can now rise and continue doing what-ever we can and keep walking through whatever doors God opens for us. . This of course now means that I will never again be allowed into India. So I want to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for your kindness and hospitality to me; for giv-ing me such undeserved opportunities to serve my Lord. I will always treasure these occassion and hold you dear to my heart. I will do all I can to provide you with teaching material and support as long as God gives me the ability to do so. Only yesterday I received an invitation to the Philippines. It was only two or three days ago I said to Loma that I believe God was leading me to go back to Calituban in the Philippines. The providence of God is amazing!! By using the credit on my cancelled ticket with Singapore airlines to fly to the Philip-pines I will not lose as much as I would if I completely cancelled out. Your brother in Christ, Doug From Evangelist Jeff Badgero in Haiti Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities. Greetings from the field.We are settled in Gonaives we think. Carol has several english classes going and always teach-ing the Bible. I’m working on th e plane, and a 1/2 mile taxi way to the airport. Last night I went to a country congregation in Pont Gaudin, I worked there 25 years ago. Jacques nephew Mecal Myrtil is the preacher and several of his cousins attend. The church building is next to where the witch doctor used to live and practice voodoo. I've witnessed to him many times. Several years ago a team was in and we drilled a well for the witch doctor! If your enemy is thirsty give them a drink! The witch doctor died last year unfortunately I dont believe he ever repented. However his

daughter repented of her sins and was bsptised last year she was in attend-ance last night. The word of God does not return void .. Some planted some watered God added the increase. Old voodoo alter no longer used. Praise God Its been a difficult year lots of travel packing and unpacking. Lots of rough roads, praise God I hope were settled now. We have a room with a breeze very limited power maybe four hrs per day a flush toilet , a wash bucket and clothes line . Live simple. We enjoy serving but travel has been hard on this old couple. Please keep us in your prayers. Love Jeff and Carol

JACOB’S NEW LIFE ORPHANAGE

On Sunday, February 7, 2016, Mary Devadoss wrote from INDIA: Beloved greetings in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. The children at Jacobs New Life Orphanage and the church members are doing good and extending their heartfelt greetings to WHITE FIELDS you and to all the missionaries who have visited INDIA. From the mid of November till the first week of December we had continuous rainfall. It’s a rec-ord rainfall in over 100 years. People of my state and our neighboring state Tamilnadu got ef-fected very badly. All the transportation and communication means got damaged completely. Due to heavy rains our church roofs both at T.N.Palem and Tiruchnoor got damaged, both the roofs need to get repaired. As our church compound wall at T.N.Palem is in fields, due to these rains it became slant towards one side. One good thing happened because of this continu-ous rains is, all the dams and lakes got filled completely to their maximum capacities. The little boy HARISH.He is doing good and completed his Post graduation and is searching for a Job.

PRAYERS FOR THE YORDANOVAS AND BULGARIA

Zane writes: I met Elena in April of 1998 in Sofia Bulgaria. She had contacted Lori about wanting to start an orphanage in Bulgaria. I went and met with Elena which laid the groundwork of working with the state run orphanages over the next 17years. It is illegal to open and run an orphanage in Bulgaria, so we have to work with the state run orphanages. Elena and her husband Georgi have been able to bring the love of Christ to the children in these orphanages. We just received a letter from Elena asking for prayers, Please read and keep them and the country of Bulgaria in your prayers. Elena writes:” In the last few months we are passing through a horrible time. Satan’s attack is so strong from different ways and I feel my power is gone and I start to feel and fall in deep depression. We have a new majority, new administration - the socialist party (in the past this was the communist party). They start to put deep pressure on Georgi as they want to steal some money. We received a few times threats in Facebook messages. One morning we found our car was tampered with so that we would crash; they had done something to our wheels. Also in the beginning of last summer we shared same humanitarian aid to poor moms and children and they made a report that we gave them poisoned food. They sent some fake documents to the court about this food and now we have to go to court about that. Georgi and I haven't slept for a long time. We don’t have protection here or who to ask. Only pray and ask God. I’m trying to not show on Facebook that we are scared. I’m putting photos and nice things so they don’t think we are afraid of them. But.... I don’t know why, maybe in lot of stress but my emotions are about to break. In the same time we make 4 Christmas programs in 4 kindergartens and they were so good. For first time we were allowed to go in institution for children and share the story of Jesus birth. We were afraid how the parents will act. But everything was so good. Please pray for us. Here we are alone and most of people afraid. Every day we hear a different story, worst and worst. In Christ, Elena

We've almost survived one month in Haiti! Woohoo! This past month we have focused on learning how to live here in their culture which has taught us several things, and we have even made a few mistakes too (which were posted on our Facebook if you need a laugh). We are going to do our best to give you a look into our Haitian lives so far! LIVING: We hands down have the best neighbors in Gonaives who insist we are all family now. A few of them even speak English. Not only are they very protective on who comes to our house, but have even cooked for us several times (and y'all know we love food). Our house couldn't be in a better location. We are in walking distance from the gym, a few churches, super market, and a soccer "field". This comes in handy since our means of transportation are "lefty and righty".. (walking)-

- for the slower ones. We have found a few hangouts that we enjoy also. Coindor, the Haitian Starbucks, has great coffee, pizza and WiFi.. And occasionally other Americans! A hole-in-the-wall place that serves the coldest bottled cokes around for 50 cents... (But if you don't return their glass bottle you don't get your change back!) The corner! Ha! You can find a competitive game of dominos 24/7 and Haitian funnel cakes (for 20 cents!) and Homemade.. Well street-made.. Haitian ice-creme! We tried out for the neighborhood soccer team.. Needless to say they only let us play because we are white! We now trade weekly English classes for "futbol" lessons. Watch out Mia Hamm! Our little friends stop by regularly and even at-tend church with us on Sunday! Our friend Joseph is our right hand. He is happy to translate for us anytime we call him, is our full-time body guard and has many other hats to wear! I don't think the transition would have gone this smoothly without him! Before moving here we had no idea how or what we were going to cook, but we brought some electric cookware which are hard to use without electricity. Luckily one of the pastors introduced us to "mama" who cooks delicious Haitian meals and helps us out with our laundry. God answers prayers daily! MINISTRY: We are making our way around to nine of the closest White Field's churches to meet with the pastors to dis-cuss their schedules, current ministries, etc. Our goal while we are here is to be able to partner with them to develop new ministries which will help the church grow physically and spiritually. The churches are all very welcoming and excited we are here. The ladies in Haiti work so hard day in and day out without many rewards. God put it on our hearts to encourage them. With the help of the women leaders of their church-es, we have planned a few ladies' conferences in the upcoming month. There are three local churches that we will be assisting develop a children's program. At this time they are not meeting with the children regularly. As you know, there are many children roaming the streets so this type of ministry is needed to provide some-thing positive in their lives. We are looking forward to Natalie Maxwell, Molly and Patti Mostyn, Amy Greer, and Bradley Glasscock visiting in the upcoming month! As they come to serve Haiti, we pray that it lights a new fire in them to not only be more bold but also to be conta-gious and encourage more people to step out in faith to serve internationally. With all of this being said, none of this would have been possible without the many prayers, donations and support. We are going to do our best to update everyone so you can remain a part of what God is doing in Haiti. At any time feel free to Facebook us with any questions or comments. We love y'all! Alex and Holly!

This Christmas break I was blessed to be able to go to Barbados for ten days with the college group from my church. We went there to help Windward Islands School of Evangelism or in shorter words WISE. WISE is a Christian bible college which used to be located in St. Vincent, but God decided that they needed to make a big change to im-prove their school by moving to Barbados. They moved to this big land that used to be a Baptist college back in the 90s and before that in the 1700s, it used to be a plantation. They needed serious renovations to get the college

in order to be able to reopen this spring semester. We arrived there on a Monday and started working that Tues-day. The director of WISE, Brice Wurdeman, gave us several tasks that he hoped we could accomplish before the next Monday. The task I decided to do was burn books and dig a giant hole so when they burned their gar-bage they could bury it in the hole. This task was a lot harder than what I thought it was going to be. I honestly thought it was going to be fun to burn books until all of the smoke went into my lungs! Digging a hole is a whole different story! Note when digging a hole: Wear boots (\Not tennis shoes that you have had since six grade) and be prepared to use your whole body weight to dig up the dirt! By the end, Brice was impressed by how big we dug the hole and said that he could use the extra space for a least three months. During our time there, we were given the opportunity to travel around the island and see different sights. One of my favorites was going to eat fish fry at the beach. I ate dolphin fish and marline for the very first time and they were both really good! Another was being able to go to the drive in. Now this drive in was even better than my local drive in that I go to during the summer. We got to see the new Star Wars movie. I have never seen a Star Wars movie and honestly, I never had the desire to, but this one was actually pretty good. An opportunity some of the girls got to do was go into town to the local grocery store. The transportation we used was Barbados bus-es that people used as “taxis”. I truly loved it because it was definitely something different and it was great to be in air conditioning from being out in the hot sun.

God taught me a lot through this trip. He made me really dive in and think about what I really wanted to do with my career goals. It was definitely dif-ferent and amazing to see the other side of missionary work. I have always watched my grandparents and par-ents go overseas and minister there and then come back home. I loved seeing Brice and Amanda do God’s work on the other side of mission work. God made me question if I should go over to a different country or stay in the United States.
