Of all the years of going to church I have never been on a mission trip. I have always been one to not think myself worthy of going unless I was doing mission work here with people right in front of me. With our Haiti churches and communities this is a different cause. With the millions and millions that have been funded into Haiti there is still an incredible amount of work to be done. Most of the community still fails to see a difference even with the overwhelming response the U.S. and other countries have presented. Sadly this is the case but I am thankful to be going with a group where I know where the money is going. I will actually be able to work with the community and building projects hands on. I will be in much prayer with my brothers and am looking forward to this amazing opportunity. I know that some mission trips are viewed as 'vacations with a cause' and I can ensure you this is not the case. I hope for the little time that I am there (7 days) that I and the team I am with can make an impact in just a few people. Of course I appreciate your financial help (you can donate on my blog below) but mostly we need your prayers. I and the team I am going with don't want to do things just to do them. We want to be used by Jesus for whatever he needs us for. This includes the planning, to the flight over, to the landing on the ground to the work we do in an around the community.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial help.
I am trying to raise $1500.
IN CHRIST!
