The restorers
Your people shall rebuild the ancient ruins; the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; “Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you, Restorer of ruined dwellings. Isaiah 58:12
I have carried this vocation within me since I was 6 years old when my father and mother were preparing me to serve God as a Priest Bridge builder. In the Catholic world, a Priest Builder is a priest who is engaged in community work, especially in organizing life and helping families; they build churches, schools, homes for people and health centers for the community. This ideal remains in me and channels all the actions I have to do. When I was 17 years old I went to meet my spiritual advisor, Reverend Father Marat. In the revelation of Father Marat, vicar of the Port-au-Prince Cathedral who informed me; According to what he sees, I do not have a mission to become a priest but you have a social mission, he said please return tomorrow afternoon, I will pray the Great Master so that I can give you a good answer. And according to my vision where I heard a voice say: "Who will take up the cause of my children?" When I went back to talk to Father Marat he said the same thing the voice told me and continued to say: “you are Social Thought. I do not know where you can get this training but I know a brother in the choir who can give you guidance.”
All my education and all my actions are aimed at making me a social leader, a shepherd, a repairer / restorer in my community. With the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, I and the board of directors of EFO PA NOU said it was time for actions that can transform people to be taken because this country not only needs to be rebuilt but also re-founded. This led us to meet many people to reveal what God had put in my heart to do for the Haitian people. So, at the end of 2011, after a visit to Haiti, I accompanied a group of foreign builders to a large DBECD company that was looking for a contract to rebuild Haiti where they planned to put a large part of their profits towards the needs of EFO PA NOU for community development. This mission was not completed because we did not like the conditions and the DBECD builders referred me to a group of restoration Christians who are preparing themselves based on the biblical passage Isaiah 58:12 to go all over the world to restore lives. And there, I met my partner organization led by Bishop Dr. Sydney Reid, president of the Helping Hands WOG ministry, which itself had a mission to restore a city in Haiti. On site, we made a visit to evaluate what this organization does and what EFO PA NOU does, to know what needs to be done to restore life in this country. We meet with all the bodies of cooperation, land negotiations and matters that must be negotiated so that we can make an impact on the lives of all Haitians.
Restorers must put in place a system for family life to thrive, for food to grow from the ground, for people to have a job (they know how to fish) so that they can eat with the sweat of their brow. This book “SOCIAL AND SOLID ECONOMY” describes a system that guarantees knowledge of rights and duties, social justice, rehabilitation and social transformation of a nation. But we need the help of all those who have a good heart for the cause of Haiti.
The book proceeds will fund the EFO PA NOU life project in Haiti.
