of creves history hopefully provides the answer i thirty years ago pastor leslie harris arrived in creve as a young missionary from neighbor ing jamaica he walked for days to find a scattered group of pedr pie with inadequate food poor health conditions steeped in voodooism and under the control of a variety of witch doctors there were no schools or medical facilities there were no tin roofs because the witch doc tors farbad it there were no gardens because the witch doc tors said nothing would grow in fact there were great needs but the darkness seemed impenetrable pastor harris is still there the village now has a school with 50j students an orphanage with 25 children a clinic for some basic health needs a thriving indepenj dent baptist church there are several other schools and chur ches within a couple of hours walking time offshoots of the work in creve the needs are still great and occasionally the voodoo drums still beat all night but they seed distant emmanuel international
