hi from haiti,

This really is me, tom in haiti. As you know by now, someone hacked into my account, changed my password and sent emails to you all trying to get money sent to a western union in England.
Be assured, I will never ask you for personal money ever. My board is set up for emergencies and they will take care of any problems ever. I am praying that none of you sent money to this thief.

There were 6 of you that responded to my box and asked "me" questions about being stranded in London. I went to my "sent" box and saw the thief answered you assuring you it was for real. I am so sorry for this whole ordeal. No one was more upset than I.

Also I did not get any emails for about 2 days, the thief had them all forwarded to his account so if you emailed me in past 50 hours, I did not get it, please resend. I have 100% control of my account with no danger of being hacked again. Yahoo was really good in helping get my account back.

Today was my first church service back at Victory Bible Church. Attendance had really dropped while I was gone but today we had over 400 so we are moving back up. We had a wonderful service. I preached on being a follower of Christ, not a Christan. God blessed the sermon and 20 came forward to give their life to Christ and become followers of Christ.

My assistant pastor is worried, we have 70 people who will be baptized in January and he is not sure how we are going to do that. That is 70 precious people since September and our first service in the tent. And this not counting the people who have accepted Christ but not taken the next step of baptism. God is blessing.

Upon my return home, I was distressed about some things that weren't in order, at my house. One of the trucks had a broken shock, our freezer didnt' work and things like that.

However the mission looked great, tent and school in order and the staff did a great job at our property (except a broken toliet).

I am so happy to be back. I spent a great 5 weeks sharing what God is doing here, being cared for, loved and....................fed. I put on a few pounds so am working on taking them off.

Thanks for your faithful support, God is blessing what we are doing in a big week. Speaking of big weeks, I have 5 birthdays this week, Reggie, Bobby and Sonson Thursday, Jesus Friday and Matthew on Saturday. On 2nd thought, might wait until January to lose the weight. Take care, tom
