Brothers and Sisters, 

Haiti is one of the most Christian countries of the world, 96% of Haitians are Christians. We should expect that a country with such a high number of Christians to  be "La Perle des Antilles," as it used to be called in the past. But the reality is very different. What is wrong? 

Leadership is a process, it can be developed. To progress, a country needs good leadership and good governance, just as we see them implemented in Nehemiah administration of Jerusalem. He was a man passionate about his God, fiercely devoted to the betterment of his people, and with high competency and integrity. Since the majority of Haitians are Christians, the church should intentionally step up to train true leaders to lead the country.

I propose to you the acronym LDRSHIP used by the US Army for its seven basic values: 

1. Loyalty - Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other soldiers.
2. Duty - Fulfill your obligations.
3. Respect - Treat people as they should be treated.
4. Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
5. Honor - Live up to all the Army values.
6. Integrity - Do what’s right, legally and morally.
7. Personal Courage - Face fear, danger, or adversity [physical or moral].

Nehemiah 2 - 4

May the Lord richly bless you!
