A prayer strategy to reclaim for Christ a nation officially dedicated to Satan more than 200 years ago. HOW IT BEGAN The MFMI Cabinet met for three days in January, 2000, in Waco, Texas. On the final morning, an MFMI staffer who led the daily devotions, focused our attention on the need for strategic and tactical prayer. Six months earlier the Cabinet had accepted the challenge to saturate the country of Haiti with the gospel through fix-tuned radios. Now it was time to get serious about launching a strategic attack through prayer He presented the concept of prayer warfare, using military terms to describe what we had to do. Explaining in detail, from personal experience, the concepts of prayer mapping, and praying for a whole country and its people, he reminded us that Charles Cowman, founder of OMS, prayed for China using a giant map of the country. The leader then proposed the following plan. There are nine administrative districts in Haiti. So, we need nine men, a man for each district to be the key person for strategic intercession. Then we need nine circles of prayer warriors each, that's a circle of 8 for each district. Four in each circle will focus on Haiti, the other four will hold up in prayer those praying for Haiti (the Moses, Aaron and Hur concept from Exodus 17). When intercessors go on the attack, we can expect counter attacks. So, while four pray for Haiti, four others will be praying for their protection, families, work, while praying also for their area of Haiti. The leader paused and abruptly threw out a challenge, 'We need nine volunteers for this task. Count the cost. Now with heads up and eyes wide open, if you feel God wants you to be one of the nine, stand.' Within seconds, nine men were standing. Not eight, not ten, but nine. No one else moved, The leader, obviously as moved as the rest of us, counted again and confirmed it, "We have our nine!" The rest of us gathered around the nine, laid hands on them, and prayed. Some were also agreeing to be one of their circles of 8. Then we sang, "No turning back!" As word spreads, men and women of all ages and walks of life are counting the cost and joining in "Circles of 8" for Haiti. How about you? Will you be one of eight? If you want to let us know you have committed to praying for Haiti, please let us know by e-mailing our How did Joshua's band of slave-warriors, fresh out of Egypt, manage a victory over the militarily superior Amalekites in Exodus 17? God was certainly at work, but others were also involved in the battle who weren't even on the same battlefield. Moses, Aaron, and Hur were engaging and defeating the enemy at a totally different level. The Exodus account suggests that this trio, on the high ground overlooking the battlefield, was the real power behind Joshua's army below. Moses, his arms lifted toward heaven in an apparent attitude of intercession, was focused on Joshua and his army. While his arms were raised, Joshua prevailed. When his arms grew heavy and began to droop, the enemy prevailed. That's when two friends, Aaron and Hur, came along side and focused their attention on Moses, holding up his arms, while he continued to focus on Joshua and the battle at hand. Suppose there had been no Moses interceding for Joshua, no friends focused on Moses. Would the story have ended with Israel's defeat? Pray for HAITI Through Operation Saturation" many are joining in prayer on behalf of Haiti, to wrestle it from Satan's grip. But this is spiritual warfare and none dare enter this battle lightly, or alone. Some, like Joshua, will be called upon to engage the enemy on Haitian soil. Others, like Moses will sense a call to position themselves in direct intercession for Haiti and those in the spiritual baffle. Still others, like Aaron and Hur, will be needed to focus intercession on those who are focused on the baffle. 
Nine MFMers have volunteered to lead the prayer charge into their assigned district of Haiti(See diagram). Each of them are like a Moses, a PRIMARY INTERCESSOR [P] for the warfare in their district. Each needs three more Moses types to join them in PRIMARY intercession in order to "surround" the objective with a team of four. Between the four PRIMARY INTERCESSORS are four SUPPORT INTERCESSORS (S). These are the "Aarons and Hurs." They are "lifting the hands" and focusing their intercession on behalf of the four PRIMARY INTERCESSORS on behalf of their devotional life, spiritual welfare, health, families, businesses, etc. If you understand the gravity of this type of prayer commitment, would you prayerfully consider joining with MFMI and "Operation Saturation" on behalf of Haiti's 7 million souls in Satan's grip? Form a prayer group of four PRIMARY INTERCESSORS and four SUPPORT INTERCESSORS and register it with: MFMI We'll furnish you with the details and arrange to keep your team informed via e-mail, phone, or fax concerning urgent, sensitive, battlefield situations.

A Brief History of Haiti and Radio 4VEH After one of Columbus' ships, the Santa Maria, ran a ground near the northern coast of Haiti in 1492, a saga of plantation slavery and annihilation awaited the local inhabitants. Once decimated, they were replaced by African slaves. Today's Haitian culture and religion (voodoo) stem from the massive importation of these slaves. In the late 1600's the French ousted the Spanish. The slaves revolted in 1791, massacring the French army sent to quell the uprising. Because the people had no experience at governing themselves, personality cults and a reliance on spoils and revenge have characterized Haitian politics. Men For Missions International was on the cutting edge in promoting the acquisition by OMS of Radio 4VEH in Cap-Haitien. From that beginning MFMI has been the source of personnel, materials, work teams and finances. Today the station broadcasts news and religious programming in Creole, French and English on an average of 1070 hours a month. They have approximately 300,000 to 400,000 listeners. In 1998 they received 37,400 letters from listeners and almost 59,000 pieces of literature were distributed. MFMI is Men for Missions International, the laymen's voice of OMS International, a dynamic movement borne of God's Spirit in the hearts of laymen. Through it, thousands of men from varied church affiliations and all walks of life find a channel for harnessing and releasing personal skills and abilities in practical, and direct missionary involvement. By participation in overseas witness and work trips, they catch new zeal for soul winning at home as well as abroad. Without dues or organizational trappings, MFMI asks men to respond or contribute only as directed by the Holy Spirit As a result, scores of missionary homes, schools, churches, and clinics, stand as monuments to the obedience of individual laymen. Thousands of MFMI dollars support missionaries, national workers, and evangelistic outreaches. In addition, a joint annual project makes possible major missionary thrusts such as large church projects, a radio station in Haiti, an evangelistic center in Ecuador, and many other vital outposts that are already in operation.
