The night before last at the hospital – Stephanie, one of our Haitian interpreters, went out to go talk to one of the security guards, his name is Alex. She walked out onto the porch and saw him sitting on a bench next to the gate with his head down (that’s about 30 feet away). But she turned and he Alex was standing next to her. he was wearing white and his skin was pasty and his eyes were rolled back into his head. She screamed and ran inside and sat down and kept repeating Jesus' name in Creole (Jezi Jezi Jezi), and wouldn’t tell anyone what happened until morning. Jessica was trying to get her to tell her what happened she just said pray for me so Jessica did. She spent the night tying to sleep with Naidia because she couldn’t sleep by herself.
I don’t know what she saw, it was late and she was tired she could have just been delusional, but it’s getting close to Easter and with that comes a lot of demonic activity here.
The forty days leading up to Ash Wednesday some Haitians hold what is called The Carnival or Rah Rah. It is like a parade but its usually between 1 or 2 till 4 in the morning, here in the capital anyway. They are celebrating that Jesus died and didn’t rise again. These are less frequent in the city. Brittany told me last week she thinks she heard one. The man chanting and yelling didn’t have a normal voice.
I talked to one of the guys who was here helping. He was in a different part of the country then. They were driving back from a Good Friday service and the street was filled with people holding signs and yelling that Jesus is dead.
This almost brings me to tears, and probably should.
