Hope for Haiti

I’ve been learning how it’s the true things in life that will remain, and give you hope … and that is what brings me back to Haiti each year.

I just heard the new song, Hope Can Change Everything - Hope Can Change Everything, which perfectly captures what we get to do.  Through a hand, a word, ongoing relationships and the promise of consistency when all else seems unsure, we get to bring them hope.

It’s hard to believe I’ve had the privilege of making these trips for 6 years now. This year’s team is made up of 5 teens, 1 mom, 2 women, a family with an 8 year old who has been on more trips than I have, our pastor, and myself – I am so excited to be sharing this experience with the newbies and the veterans alike. I know that God has brought us all together for a purpose and is going to do incredible things both through and in us during our time. We leave in just under 3 weeks, and will be there June 17th – 24th.

As that time draws near, I would first ask for your thoughts and prayers in making final plans and preparations, for all travel to go smoothly, for our health and safety while we are there, for unity among our team and with the staff on the ground, and for the maximum effectiveness of our time as we build, serve, and interact with the Haitians.

And if you would like to be a part of bringing hope to people in the community of Jacmel, our team is still raising support. If everyone on my friends list gave just $6, it would cover the cost of 3 whole trips. Would you consider joining us?

Thanks so much for taking the time to read, and for your encouragement & support. We couldn’t do this without you. I pray you find the hope of that which is True in your own life, as well.
