And we're off...

As I write this post, our Haiti team is packing and prepping for our trip to Haiti in just 4 days. We'll be serving alongside Mission of Hope for 7 days and helping in a variety of areas:

• home repairs/renovations
• children's ministry
• orphanage ministry
• food distribution to surrounding villages

Thank you to all of you who have contributed financially or donated items for the orphanage and church. Also, thank you for coming alongside our team in prayer. As we get ready to spend a week in a country not only devastated by natural disasters, but also devastated by the evil of sin, selfishness, oppression and disease, we need all the spiritual protection we can get!

Please pray for these specific things:

• strength, health, endurance, encouragement and spiritual growth for everyone on the team
• pray for doors to be opened that we may share Jesus' love with everyone we meet
• pray that lifelong and edifying relationships are formed within our team and with the staff of Mission of Hope
• Pray for Mission of Hope's ministry in the country of Haiti - including the 2,500 students in School of Hope, the 65 orphans in the Hope Village, the 50,000 people fed every day through their Nutrition Program, the Church of Hope and their work in the community providing disaster relief, community advancement and healthcare.

Finally, take a few minutes to watch this powerful video from MOH which explains their work in Haiti and will give you a better idea of what our team will be experiencing:
