\n

Student\nworker Descheny drives to the GBEUH Haiti office with a heavy heart. Burned\ncars, broken windows and smoking tyres line the highway. These are the worst\nprotests the country has seen in thirty years. Neither the people, nor the\nPresident they are protesting against, are willing to back down. The doors of\nthe universities are closed and campus fellowship meetings have had to stop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Many\nof the students of GBEUH, the IFES movement in Haiti, believe that they have an\nactive role to play as Christian citizens. But taking to the streets is\nincreasingly dangerous. Concerned for their studies and for their country,\nGBEUH students are turning to prayer, even if it is only through virtual\nmeetings on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Descheny\nexplained why:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cThe entire population is facing the wind of discouragement, despair and insecurity. But what encourages and strengthens us is our faith in Jesus, the Nazarene, who knows how to calm storms and give peace.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
  • Pray for the strengthening of GBEUH students, staff and Board members to remain prayerful and dependent on God at this difficult time.
    <\/li>
  • Pray for pastoral wisdom for Descheny as he seeks to encourage and support the students.
    <\/li>
  • Pray for political and social stability in Haiti.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n

    Thanks for praying with us!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":9591,"template":"","area":[454,480],"theme":[1217],"class_list":["post-9590","prayerline","type-prayerline","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-caribbean","area-haiti","theme-social-action"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhen the doors of the university are closed · IFES Prayerline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Student worker Descheny drives to the GBEUH Haiti office with a heavy heart.
