In my dream, I was standing in front of a half circle of men and women that were facing me. They were dressed in casual clothing and although I didn't see their faces, I knew they were Ministers. I was handing each person, several tall, rubber banded stacks, of wallet size prints of my watercolor painting titled "He hears your heart's cry." In the background I could see Haiti lifted up, as if it was hovering above the ground. I beleive this is prophetic as God is lifting Haiti up and out of the ruins.
Just as the dream was ending I heard my own voice say to God "The people of Haiti just need to know that You hear their heart's cry"
It ended and I woke up feeling my own heart cry for the men, women and children of Haiti.
For several days I rehearsed this dream in my mind, over and over, trying to figure out how to go about getting that many prints made and delivered. I knew the cost would be great and pondered how to go about getting them to Haiti. I needed the bless-ed assurance that once they arrived in Haiti, they would actually get into the hands of the Haitians. I knew only God could do this, so I laid it on the altar and rested in it, only to have the dream again, and again. Three times over, in a period of a week. Then it came as an open vision, over my windsheild as I sat in traffic, but this time I saw my feet on the dirt! It jarred me into reality. I immediatly called a close friend and exclaiming that, "If I get asked to go to Haiti, I am going to pass out!" That very night at the midnight hour,12:24 am, I received an email from Joan Hunter asking me to be part of a team of Pastors going to Haiti!
My spirit was thrilled because God brought me right back to the dream. I knew this was God, but my flesh struggled with the idea of actually going myself.
This was not at all in my plans, believe me. So I thought if my husband, Jerry would discourage me from going it might be a little easier to just get the prints made, somehow, and send them with Joan. I was hoping that is all God wanted, although I knew better. I asked my husband to pray and believe that he, himself, would hear from the Lord on this. He agreed. Two days later, Joan was here in Seattle ministering with me at a conference, when I got a call from Jerry. He said he heard from the Lord that I should go to Haiti. It was not an audible voice, a dream or a vision. He just knew it, on the inside, and stated that more confirmation had just come in the mail. Over the phone he began reading the Hallmark card that came in the mail that day. On the inside was a hand written prophetic word about the many lives that will be touched while I am in Haiti! Enclosed was a check for $1000 with a heart shaped sticky note attached, that read "This is one of many seeds that will come in, watch and see :) " This young lady said she couldn't go in person but will be there in spirit. She had been praying because I had shared the dreams, asking for agreement in prayer for divine orchestration over getting the prints mass produced and delivered to Haiti. Well, God showed her that I would actually be going myself! God gave her a word and she followed through. God showed up in a huge way! Now, out of her obedience, God will bless her beyond measure and I am so excited for her! It will be fun to see what God will do.
God hears my heart's cry for the people of Haiti but He also knew it wasn't my heart's desire to personally go there, even as much as I want to help and just love on the hurting people.
This extra trip was hard to fathom because I will also be going to Haiti by cruise ship in May, when I host the "Heaven Touching Earth" Conference at Sea, .
But yes, I will be obedient and begin planning, fasting and praying, getting my shots and the whole nine yards. His ways are higher than my ways, and I will go full of the joy of the Lord,and with great expectation. For years I camped in rugged conditions, sleeping out in the open air or in a tent, way out in the middle of nowhere, by myself, hiking, hunting and fishing, many times and have taught others, survival in the wilderness. God must know I can handle it although it hasn't been on the top of my list of fun things to do in this season of my life.
I am in total shock and awe of God in every aspect! First the dreams, then the invite, checks in the mail and now everything else falling into place!.
We will be flying out on the first day of Passover, March 30th for Port Au Prince, Haiti. Good Friday through Easter, we will be holding a Healing Explosion in front of the Presidential Palace, bringing the Resurrection Power of Jesus Christ to the people.
Healing and restoration in Spirit, Body and Soul is our primary goal. There are alot of people that want to help the hurting people of Haiti but don't know how. If you are one of those people
and would like to donate today toward sending Rev. Debra with Joan and the team on their journey, or just pray and intercede for us, we thank you. Your donation is tax deductible. IRS Tax ID JC Ministries #80-0210659
We covet your prayers and thank you in advance for helping us bring healing and restoration to a hurting country. Hunter Ministries have already sent down 40 sets of How to Heal the Sick in French (DVDs),!
This information is going before us to train the pastors on Healing.
We will be going down to train these pastors on root causes, Trauma, and give them further training on healing along with many other things. We will be going through the streets laying hands on the sick inviting them to come to the Healing Explosion!
Friday (Good Friday) we will be declaring and decreeing over Haiti and then serving the enemy an eviction notice from Haiti. Then on Saturday and Sunday, Easter Sunday, we will have a Healing Explosion in the soccer stadium with many team members and the trained Haitian pastors laying hands on the sick. We are expecting over a million people!
We will be working with Pastor Renee Joseph, Somebody Cares (Doug Stringer), Friend Ships, TBN, His Global Relief (Bill Henderson), Bill Winston's outreach in Haiti (Project Eden), along with many other ministries.
One of Joan's interpreters is translating "He hears your heart's cry" into the Creole language for the thousands of wallet size prints I will have printed. We will be passing them out to the people of Haiti. They will also be printed in French. The Haitians need to know that God hears their heart's cry and He will deliver them from the trauma and bring healing and restoration to them.
Please pray about supporting this cause! We must each raise our own funds. Whatever JC Ministries has left over will go into Healing 4 Haiti at
www.joanhunter.org.
If you can't go, remember you can send someone who couldn't go without your help.
Thanks in advance for your support whether it is prayer support or financial !
Love and Blessings, Rev. Debra Hoskins
