The Psalmist wrote, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Psalm 116:15
This morning we learned of the murder of Pastor Doris Jean Louis, the father of Lutheranism in Haiti, truly one of God’s saints. Apparently as he was entering his residence last night he was attacked by some men and brutally murdered.
Here is a short video of him describing how he became the first Lutheran pastor in Haiti.

Lord, have mercy.
This is so sad. May God bless the Haitian church.
Christ, have mercy!
I wrote a hymn for the bereaved, a prayer for them and us.

Pastor Louis was a great friend and brother in Christ. He was indeed the father of the Lutheran Church in Haiti and a true hero of faith. He often told me that he was "Lutheran by conviction!" He will be greatly missed. It was an honor to have known him. Asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep! Psalm 55:22
