Miracle on Voodoo Mountain

A Young Woman's Remarkable Story of Pushing Back the Darkness for the Children of Haiti

By: Megan Boudreaux

Narrated by: Hayley Cresswell

"It took months of God waking me up in the middle of the night before I realized I was the one He was calling to leave my comfortable American life and move to Haiti." Miracle on Voodoo Mountain is the inspirational memoir of an accomplished and driven 24-year-old who quit her job, sold everything, and moved to Haiti, by herself - all without a clear plan of action. Megan Boudreaux had visited Haiti on a few humanitarian trips but each trip multiplied the sense that someone needed to address the devastation - especially with the children, many of whom were kept as household slaves on the poverty-stricken and earthquake-devastated Caribbean island. God guided her every step as she moved blindly to a foreign land without knowing the language, the people, or the future. From becoming the adoptive mother of former child slaves, to receiving the divine gift of the Haitian Creole language, to starting, building, and running a school for more than 500 children, "the amazingness of what God did after I made the choice to be obedient is incredible," said Megan. Three years later, six acres on Bellevue Mountain in Gressier is the home of the nonprofit Respire Haiti at the former site of voodoo worship, and in the area that many still come to make animal sacrifices, Megan and her staff of nearly 200 are transforming this community as they educate, feed, and address the needs.

Awesome!

if you have any ties to Haiti this is a must read. Megan Boudreaux is a really good writer. You are captivated all the way through!

Amazing

Great story. Great narrator. The story will resonate with anyone who has been to Haiti - the story brings you right back to the island as you can picture places that you have been that are so similar to her description. The story is so encouraging to hear of the progress at Respire Haiti in such a short time. It is a wonderful example of God's sovereign hand protecting and healing His children.

So inspiring! God is so good!

My heart has been burdened for Haiti for years, your book has inspired me more than ever. First trip to Haiti scheduled for 2 weeks from now.

Serving a Limitless God

Refreshing, honest, and faith-filled, Miracle on Voodoo Mountain, is the story of what happens when we can let ourselves choose to be hear God's voice . . . in a world filled with chatter and well-meaning advice, the quietness of that still small voice, that comes after time in God's word, time spent NOT thinking about ourselves, that voice that whispers into our heart and spirit is our guide to being His hands and feet . . . and as with Megan, God often leads us out of our "safe zones" . . . but wherever He leads us, He is already there, preparing the way . . . He leads us into wisdom, and it is a journey . . . a process . . . which first begins with great compassion, wanting to gather up all the hurt and dying of this world, and then coming to the understanding that, no, that's impossible . . . and that's not what He's called you to anyway . . . He's called you to work, one day at a time, to LOVE, to give, to be JOYOUS . . . and He's also called others to be a part of His plan, to join in His work . . . I listened with so much joy at Megan's story . . . marveled as she and her friends faced down the enemy in prayer . . . and claimed the land . . . and God's children in the name of Jesus . . . Miracle on Voodoo Mountain blessed me . . . it will bless you, too . . .

Beautiful and Challenging

I didn’t want to put this audiobook down. It caught my attention from the first page. Such a powerful example of how one person dedicated to obeying Jesus really can make a difference for many vulnerable and hurting children! I also found this book challenged me as an American Christian not to be lazy, to be careful that my giving is really helping and not hurting others.

Inspiring

Megan’s story shows how God can use anyone yielded to Him. It is our inspiration when we travel to Haiti to educate the children of this hard but beautiful country.
Thank you Megan for sharing your story with us!

Could not put it down!

Wow, just a beautiful story and evidence of God's faithfulness. You will not regret taking the time to read this story!

Story of God’s mighty hand!

This was an incredible story!! We listened together on a family road trip. We were inspired and moved by the mighty hand of God and how He provided everything Respire Haiti needed (direction, money, safety, food, medical care). This book demonstrated so significantly how God loves the little children, and how Megan (the author) boldly steps forward to obey and protect these little ones! We were so encouraged by Megan’s listening ear to the Holy Spirit and His direction in her life. I would recommend this book 100 times over!

God is Good!

Inspired! Encouraged! Motivated to get out of my comfort zone and DO for the Kingdom of God!!

An Amazing Book - An Amazing God!

What a blessing to see God's hand at work in Haiti. A very well-written, well-read book that is chock full of encouragement, hope, and the love of our totally awesome God!
