Times-Advocate, 1986-07-23, Page 16Page 16 Times -Advocate, July 23, 1986 A hard year Brewsters back from Halti Rev. Roger Mason introduced Sun- day morning former pastor Rev. Ray Brewster, now Missionary Superintendent of Haiti and Jamaica, for the Pentecostal Holiness Church. Mrs. Becky Brewster told that through the past hard year in Haiti, that prayer and God's power gave them peace. Rev. Brewster said he believed that Baby Doc Duvalier left Haiti because of the prayers of God's people that spared a bloody revolution. The mor- ning Duvalier left the army band played on the palace lawn, with crowds of people around. But later that day it turned to violence. The curfew that kept people indoors from early evening to dawn made for a lot of boredom. The communists laid a million dollars in twenty dollar bills in the streets for trouble makers to cause trouble. During all this trouble no missionaries or Christians were hurt. Because Haitians have been unable to speak out for thirty years A RUMBLE SEAT RIDE — Virginia Cloutier and Nicole Gill rode in the rumbleseat of Jack Traquair's 1930 Model A Ford in Ailsa Craig's Gala Days parade, Saturday. T -A photo Sunday speakers from Ivan church Lucan United Church was especial- ly blessed on Sunday morning to have Jack Giles and His wife Mary take charge of the service. The Giles live in Ilderton and attend Ivan United Church. Mary in her talk, based on Phil 4 verse 13 - "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me" told of her healing from arthritis and related health problems, by the laying on of hands and prayer. The real meaning of the verse came to her as "I can do everything God wants me to", she exorted each one of us, not to limit God, by our refusal to obey Him when He calls us, but to surrender all, to believe "all things are possible" to use pain as a positive force, not to glory in it, but accept what God gives each day and be thankful for that day whatever it brings. One example was Paul, who was never healed from his afflictions even though he prayed for healing, God had other plans - Trust Him to give us strength to bear whatever He chooses for us. The children's story, told by Jack was about an eagle set down among chickens. This was really the old adage - If we fly with "crows we will never soar with eagles", meaning those we choose as friends and associates in- dicate, in many respects, what we ourselves are and certainly what our values are. The Giles sang two beautiful duets, one entitled, "I found the answer, I learned to pray". Any member of the congregation having questions pertaining to the pic- tures on the Church book contact Mabel Froats, 227-4879. the country is on the verge of anarchy now. Haiti needs prayer. Rev. Brewster ministered from Ephesians 6:11-18. Praying is a very important part of the armour of God. Rev. Brewster stated that in Haiti, and in every church they have been in while travelling in U.S.A. and Canada, there had been spiritual pro- blems in the devil's scheme to destroy what God wants to do in people's lives. It is time Christians realize they are the church of the living God, and act like it. It is time for the church to take authority against the devil's schemes. Sunday evening Rev. Ray Brewster said in the past five years since they have been in Haiti, there have been many hard and exciting things hap- pening. Since Mr. Devalier left the people have risen up against the voodoo devil religion. How there is a great move to get a Christian presi- dent in Haiti. During the riots Chris- tians gathered in the churches to pray. Many Haitians have turned to God as they are realizing God is the bnly stable force. February 7, the day Duvalier left, the new president form- ed a council of evangelical men to help in governing the country. Now there is great opportunity to preach the gospel. On July 29 the tom-tom Macouts, Duvalier's police force, celebrate their anniversary. They were disbanded, but 40,000 were arm- ed. There are stiII 10,000 arms unac- counted for. Haitians plan to kill these opressors, the tom-tom Macouts 'on 29 July. The Christians are praying for peace. Rev Brewster told about their children wanting to do missionary work for Haitian children. They ask for sponsors for Haitian children. Last Christmas Steven and Nathan Brewster brought Christmas dinner to children in an orphanage, of rice, beans, goat, and ice cream. Haitian children never see ice cream. Last year when they returned to Haiti they brought crayons and coloring books to the children at the school they at- tend in Port au Prince. Haitian children cannot affort good food, let alone crayons. Rev. Brewster show- ed slides of Hait. Thewhitepalace of Duvalier is now government offices. Children carry water often a mile, in jars. Churches in the country are made of brush, call- ed brush arbors, which serves as school and church. Powdered milk, rice, beans, wheat, corn, is shipped in- to Haiti by missionary churches and is used each day to feed the Haitian children in the church schools one meal a day. In Souce Piante where the govern- ment tore down all the houses, Rev. Brewster has raised money to build seven houses, with three more in con- struction. They have raised enough funds to build more houses. They have a church there now. Upcoming events Sunday, July 27 a special communi- ty presentation in Market Street Park featuring Ant's Hillvania, the Acts of the Apostles, Special music by Larry and Julie McGill, and the Allen Trio. The Lucan Revival Centre Kids Club Puppeteers will perform. This presen- tation starts at 3:00 p.m. All welcome to this nontraditional service.

You name it - he can do it Is he a magician?.... A come- dian?....A juggler? He i sail three and then some! Armed with only a suit- case and a sharp wit, Tom Kubinek has brought his unique brand of good- natured lunacy to thousands. of peo- ple across Canada, the United States and Mexico. His award winning show has been featured at Exhibitions, theatres and International children's festivals in- cluding such places as the New Orleans World fair, theCanadian Na- tional Exhibition and Expo '86.
