URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! HAITIAN PASTOR
I wanted to post a special prayer request, on this Thanksgiving Day, for Pastor Michel Ilbert Leblanc who lives and ministers in Southwest Haiti in a village near Torbeck. This is one of the pastors and in the area we worked with this past summer. From what I understand from Pastor David is that Pastor Michael is very sick and under much persecution. From personal experience in working with this pastor I wanted you all to know he is a great example of the shepherd caring for flock. He continually rises early to tend to his fields and work, works with the people throughout the day and late into the night ministering, praying for and waging war with the spiritual forces in the area. I was extremely impressed with the hardworking humble spirit about him. Please make it a matter of prayer to specifically prayer for Pastor Michael Ilbert Leblanc, his family and the church there in this village. Pray for his complete healing, renewed strength and for the Lord to encamp and place a hedge around him.

Prayer Update For Haiti!
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti -- The death toll this morning rose to at least 1,344 in the cholera outbreak in Haiti that has sickened almost 57,000 people, the Haitian government said Monday.
This information came as international health officials predicted that the scale of Haiti's cholera epidemic will exceed initial estimates of 200,000 over coming months.
"Having seen how the bacteria is behaving in this environment with these people, having seen just how poor and how hungry the people are, we know we have to revise our numbers up," said Nyka Alexander, a spokeswoman for the World Health Organization, in a phone call with CNN.
Health workers say the Haitian population lacks immunity to cholera and Haitian medical workers lack experience treating the infection because the bacterium has not been detected on the island in more than a century.
With the violence spreading across Haiti and the impoverished country's weak health and sanitation systems are only compounding the problem. The perfect storm for cholera in Haiti. "Another factor why this epidemic has spread as far as it has and why it will continue to spread, is dirty water, poor sanitation, no toilets, malnutrition and poor access to health centers," Alexander said. "People have to walk five hours to a health center and if you have diarrhea you're not going to make it."

YOUR PRAYERS ARE EFFECTIVE!
There are special areas of prayer for several areas, people and places that could use your prayers worldwide. YOUR PRAYERS ARE EFFECTIVE!
"Jas 5:16-18 … The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." NKJV
Pakistan: The people of Pakistan will feel the effects of the flooding more months. This country and people will have been hit hard by the loss of life, homes and shelters, crops and their way of life. It has been said that the disaster in Pakistan is greater than most of the disasters for this year, including the earthquake in Haiti, all put together. With all these things going, then there is the persecution of the Christians and the withholding aid for them on top of all this.
Haiti: Although the earthquake was so many months ago, there is so much that still has yet to be done. There were three groups that went down to the Southwest part of Haiti this year associated with Youth Quests and there has been success in starting the sustainable agricultural projects, improving a couple of homes and ministering to, evangelizing and showing the Jesus Film to many people within the village and surrounding areas. There are also mission trips to Haiti planned for two areas of Haiti for 2011. Contact us for more information if you are interested.
Peru: There was an earthquake in Peru south of Lima that woke up a missionary in Piura, several hundred miles away in the northern part of Peru. The epicenter was near the city Chincha which lost all phone and cell phone communication to the whole city among other things. Youth Quests has a missions trip to Peru this summer in Piura and much was accomplished through Jesus Christ working through us. Youth Quests is currently planning to return to Peru for a medical missions trip in January of 2011 and then another work/evangelism missions trip for the summer of 2011.
Africa: This year Youth Quests has donated to help with feeding the hungry and ministry outreaches to a ministry in northwestern Kenya. We would love to continue help with the less fortunate and ministry outreaches in this area. Also, it is our desire to take a Kenya missions trip team there this coming summer of 2011 to help out with these efforts. Please pray for these requests for Kenya.
Please pray for these several areas and requests, as well as, the several other areas of outreach and missions that Youth Quests is working with. This is your chance to be a partner with us in these successful outreaches and the vision to touch many lives for the gospel of Christ. Contact us for more information at Youth Quests International.

Haitian Mission Project Updates and Prayer Requests
Hello from Youth Quests,
I am writing to let you know the progress of the Haitian project we are involved with, the current needs and prayer requests, as well as, our future plans for this project.
The previous team had worked on some crucial and much needed improvements for the following teams who will be working on the projects in this local village area. They were involved in ministry to the local people as well. The team arriving in the village near Torbeck in just a few days will greatly appreciate all the previous team has done in preparation for them.
Water Well
While we were there, we were able to talk with some government officials about drilling a well in preparation for the orphanage we are planning on building there in the area. Even though they said that they only drill on government or public lands, they agreed to drill the well for a very reasonable $2000.00 for the orphanage project. We are praising the Lord for this good source of water for the orphanage and ministry. Pray for the project to progress and the doors to stay open as well as the funds to come in for this project for a good water source for the people.
Poultry Business
The team leaving for Torbeck on July 18th will be working on building the poultry business. The aim of this business is supporting the pastors to be self-sustaining in working with the local people and income generating for the operation of the orphanage. As of right now, we are currently $2000 short on funds to get this poultry business fully up and running complete with facilities, equipment, chicks and feed.
Orphanage Projection
We are currently in contact with a Christian man who has been building several homes in Haiti in cooperation with the Haitian government. He has agreed to build the orphanage in this area employing local people and using good materials for the low cost of $15 per square foot! Our goal is to start with a 2000 square foot facility that would only cost $30,000; then with the water available, the orphanage would be in a good position to be a blessing to many in that area.
Adoption in Progress
Orphans in this area need hope and a future; currently it is our turn to help an orphan girl be adopted into a Christian family in the USA. The lawyers in the country have been working on the adoption. All the family needs is another $3,000.00 to complete the adoption process.
Thank you so much for your interest in missions and may the Lord richly bless you,
