“For many years my wife didn’t want to hear anything about Christianity,” recalls Ti Frère (real name Marc-Arthur), the Haitian Bible Society’s driver.

On January 12, 2010, Haiti was struck by an earthquake. Ti Frère’s house was destroyed, as were thousands of others. His mother, his wife and his son could have been killed, but they survived uninjured.
“My wife was very moved by everything she witnessed after the earthquake and by the fact that our family was spared,” says Ti Frère. “She became a Christian and now we pray and read the Bible as a family!”
Ti Frère rebuilt his house himself during his holidays. He made it from wood so that it will pose less of a danger if there is another earthquake: building in accordance with anti-earthquake guidelines is expensive.
“My wife and I already had a young son, who is now eight years old. And since then we’ve had a second son, who is now nine months old. God is good,” concludes Ti Frère.
