Haiti
The name "Haiti" itself does not appear in the Bible, as it refers to the modern nation located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. However, the term "Haiti" is derived from the indigenous Taíno word "Ayiti," which means "mountainous land." This connection to highlands resonates with biblical themes of mountains often being places of significance, such as the mountains of Sinai where Moses received the Law (Exodus 19) or Mount Zion, viewed as a symbol of God's presence (Psalm 125:1).In a broader biblical context, Haiti's geographical and cultural significance can be likened to various biblical themes of refuge, community, and resilience in the face of adversity, akin to the experiences faced by the Israelites during their exodus and subsequent trials. The struggles and triumphs of the Haitian people can also be related to the biblical narratives of perseverance and hope, such as those found in the book of Psalms (Psalm 34:18) which speaks of the Lord being close to the brokenhearted and saving those who are crushed in spirit.

Beauty for Ashes - Day 3
By Carter Conlon1.1K51:24ZEC 4:6MAT 6:33MRK 1:22MRK 9:24LUK 4:24JHN 9:1JHN 10:10In this sermon, the preacher talks about a man in a synagogue who had been living a religious but hopeless life. However, when he heard Jesus speak, something stirred in his heart and he cried out for Jesus. This man had an unclean spirit, representing the impurity in many people's lives today. Jesus came to give life abundantly and break the power of poverty. The preacher emphasizes the importance of crying out to Jesus and not missing the moment of God's glory. The sermon also discusses two types of people who will not miss the glory: those who recognize their need for a Savior and those who obey Jesus and become a testimony of His glory.
