Impact Haiti Today - a Play in English and Haitian Creole (ePub)

(NOTE: Copy in Creole follows this copy in English)

Can Jesus Christ IMPACT a community today? Can your faith decisions impact your world? This drama, IMPACT HAITI TODAY (or IHT), with 6 characters, brings a strong answer: YES! Jesus uses locally active faith to IMPACT life today. IHT originally was written in English, and is about 5,000 words in that language. This version is in both English and Haitian Creole. Originally written in Jos, Nigeria, IHT has been updated for Haiti and translated into Haitian Creole. The authors intend for IHT to be accessible and fun, as well as Scripturally accurate and transformational.

But instead of me writing, listen to the narrator of the play introduce the work himself:

• "Welcome to Impact Haiti Today. We are pleased to be able to bring you a special drama and discussion, one focussing on the impact of Jesus Christ, man of Galilee. What impact does He have on the problems of today? Does He affect our lives? Can Jesus Christ, a man who lived and died in Israel some 2,000 years ago, be relevant to us in our towns and our country today? Yes a man - but also the risen Son of God who lives to save! In this drama, you will meet Luka and Tayo, two friends who are going to a fellowship meeting. Luka, a medical doctor, is a Christian; Tayo, his friend, is a searcher. You will also see a few others come to join the meeting. This is a light drama; the characters do not represent anyone you know or we know. Yet, they represent all of us! Now I encourage you to read this play! You will probably find it encouraging."

Let's give a word of thanks to the Narrator. Well spoken, Mr. N!

If you want to translate this into other languages, we would be excited to work with you on ways to translate not only the words but also the concepts into your language and culture.

Èske Jezikri ENPAK yon kominote jodi a? Èske desizyon lafwa ou kapab gen konsekans sou mond ou an? Dram sa a, ENPAK AYITI JODI A (oswa IHT), ki gen 6 karaktè, pote yon repons solid: WI! Jezi sèvi ak lafwa lokalman aktif pou ENPAKTE lavi jodi a. IHT orijinal te ekri nan lang angle, e se sou 5,000 mo nan lang sa a. Vèsyon sa a se nan lang angle ak kreyòl ayisyen. Originally ekri nan Jos, Nijerya, IHT te mete ajou pou Ayiti ak tradui an kreyòl ayisyen. Otè yo gen entansyon pou IHT yo aksesib ak plezi, osi byen ke biblik egzat ak transfòmasyon.

Men, olye pou yo mwen ekri, koute konteur nan pyès teyat la prezante travay la tèt li:

• Byenveni nan enpak Ayiti Jodi a. Nou kontan pou kapab pote ou yon dram espesyal ak diskisyon, yon sèl konsantre sou enpak la nan Jezi Kris la, moun Galile. Ki enpak li genyen sou pwoblèm yo nan jounen jodi a? Èske li afekte nou Èske Jezikri, yon nonm ki te viv e ki te mouri nan pèp Izrayèl la sa gen anviwon 2 000 ane de sa, ka enpòtan pou nou nan tout ti bouk nou yo ak nan peyi nou an jodi a? Nan dram sa a, ou pral rankontre Luka ak Tayo, de zanmi ki pral nan yon reyinyon di Bondye mèsi. Luka, yon doktè medikal, se yon kretyen; Tayo, zanmi l ', se yon rechèch. Ou pral wè tou kèk lòt moun vin rantre nan reyinyon an. Sa a se yon dram limyè; pèsonaj yo pa reprezante okenn moun ou konnen oswa nou konnen. Men, yo reprezante nou tout! Koulye a, mwen ankouraje w li jwe sa a! Ou pral pwobableman jwenn li ankouraje. "

Ann bay yon mo de mèsi Naratè a. Byen pale, Mesye N!
