Hubert Duchatelier is a Haitian Christian who has made an effort to counter the voodoo beliefs of his river valley neighborhood, Vallee de Bourdon. Having recently completed Bible school, he helps foreign missionaries in Haiti, holds Bible studies in his home and leads morning and evening devotions for his neighbors.
At least he used to.
Since the earthquake, almost nobody lives in Vallee de Bourdon. The once beautiful hillside neighborhood has become a ghost town. Those who can’t leave have moved into the pig shacks along a riverbed. Hubert is heartbroken to see his neighbors suffer this humiliation, but it’s their only safe option. Their unstable concrete houses are now completely uninhabitable.
Hubert has had to move his wife, Maria, and their five children to Maria’s hometown, Saint-Marc. He sometimes returns to Valle de Bourdon to minister to his friends, but he’s looking to what God has next for him.
He intends to continue his Bible studies and daily devotionals in his new Saint-Marc neighborhood. The earthquake has done nothing to diminish Hubert’s passion to share the gospel.
Please pray for Hubert as he continues his ministry in a new location.
