Presidential Inauguration
All-night Prayer Watch

From Immoral to Moral Man Through Christ

Many thousands of Christians gather in front of the Presidential palace for an all night prayer watch and worship from 5 PM to 6 AM. All over the country and in Haitian communities around the world churches and groups organized the prayer watch in one accord with us.

On our knees on behalf of the nation and for God's wisdom for the new president

Bishop Joel Jeune addressing to the nation and leading the country in a prayer of dedication to God.

Thousands rededicated their life to God as Bishop Joel Jeune led the nation and new president in prayer of repentance, forgiveness, national reconciliation and dedication to God

Mr. Martely was never involved in politics. He was a popular musician who performed in carnivals (Mardigras) for many years. During the presidential campaign he was tagged as "the bad one" because of some of his past indecent performing acts on stage.

Before elected he came to Shalom Tabernacle, a Pentecostal church located on Delmas Road in Port-au-prince and had the Christians pray for him. After he was elected, he returned to that church to thank God and confirmed his desire to be a follower of Christ. He asked the church members not to call him president, but to call him "Brother Martely". He has made a special request for a nationwide all night prayer watch to be a part of his presidential inauguration. Thousands gathered in front of the presidential Palace to pray and worship from 5 PM to 6 AM. All over the country and in Haitian Communities worldwide churches and Christian groups organized the same prayer revival as they gathered in stadiums, school auditoriums joining with us in one accord.

Let us keep him and his administration in prayer, believing God to transform Haiti from the poorest in the Americas to become a prosperous nation. With more than 2 million homeless people living under tents and tarps since the 2010 earthquake, and so many other urgent needs in this country, he really needs much prayer to be able to make a difference.
