Yesterday, we had a fabulous Haiti Team meeting! It was the first time all of the members were together. We have members coming from states away to fill the call that God has placed in them! We are so blessed to have so many members with awesome medical experience! With their knowledge and the overwhelming love and support carried throughout the team, this trip will carry an impact beyond measure! It was exhilarating to see everyone together and hear the plans that have been made for us.
Our plans include kicking off our trip with a visit to our favorite orphanage, Operation Love the Children of Haiti! You may recall that we visited them last time and that we were overwhelmed by the amazing love that Mrs. Jasmine has for those children! The rest of our week will be spent conducting three mobile clinics in three different areas! We will be in Momance, Nanon, and Ti Harpon. For the first time, we will be conducting a mini-VBS! My good friend Peggy and I have been working on this project together and we are so excited. Let me tell you, I wouldn't do half of the things I'm about to do in Haiti, in front of others here in the US! I mean, making animal sounds and acting like "The Boss"... okay, maybe acting like "The Boss" but the animal sounds are a different thing all together! We really want to get the children excited about God and I think we will achieve this! We will have the opportunity to oversee the current construction going on for the school in Momance as well! On our Fridays, we will have the opportunity to provide another VBS or half day clinic, at a location selected by Children's Nutritional Program of Haiti!
All of these activities take time, energy, emotional, spiritual, and financial support. Donations received for this cause are tax deductible. As an added bonus, I am holding in my hand a $25 gift card good at Chili's, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Maggiano's, or On The Border restaurants. Every donation received for $10 or more will enter you into the drawing for this card! Simply hold onto your receipt because your receipt number will be your ticket to win it!
There is so much going on and the excitement is mounting! I looked around the room at my fellow Mission Mates and was filled with so much hope, joy, and excitement that I could hardly contain it! The Lord will be doing great things through us and so much of it is because of our fabulous supporters! I can't say "Thank you" enough to those of you that have shown your support in one way or another! We truly do take a piece of you with us when we go to Haiti. Please show your support below with words of encouragement and/or prayers that I can share with our team. It may not seem like much to you but to us your support is golden!
Can you help with this one???
We are in need of small non-scented (Dove, Dial, etc) soaps for our hygiene kits. Simply washing your hands can make a huge difference in your health! We want to make sure that our Haitian families have the ability to continue their journey to better lives by leaving them with tools they can use. Never though you'd hear soap referred to as a tool before, huh? Well it is! As basic as it seems, simple soap can make a huge difference in your health! If you know of anyone that can donate soap, please let me know or you are welcome to mail it to Hamilton Mill Presbyterian Church. I'll even come pick it up to make it easier!
