While violent protests, carjackings, kidnappings, and gang violence gripped Haiti last year, Bible League's ministry in the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation continued to grow, Philippe said.In 2005, the Bible League provided Bibles and New Testaments to more than 94,000 Haitians who completed Bible studies.Nearly 5,000 people joined local churches, and 47 new churches were established.

"These results are inexplicable to me," Philippe said."For the first time in many years, people are sitting together in groups to discuss and study the Bible.This is a great blessing from God."

Philippe asked for prayers that Haitians will continue responding to God's Word, and that the elections will be held without violence.
