During our Haiti team meeting/rehearsal yesterday it really hit me - I leave for Haiti SOON!
Less than two week away - what?
Preparations are going well and personal planning has begun in earnest for me. Quite a bit has happened in my life recently, so I haven't had a lot time to think about packing lists and things to buy/gather before the trip. Guess how I'll be spending my 3-day weekend?!
My church (Harvest Bible Chapel Lancaster) has been significantly involved in Haiti for the last couple years. My small group leader has been to Haiti 5 times (with Harvest) and helped to really build up and equip the church leaders we'll be working with; thus laying the groundwork for this missions trip. This last group meeting he was able to share a little backstory - and it was so incredible and encouraging. I'm really hoping to record some highlights from his sharing here so you can understand and see what God has been doing in Haiti, specifically through Harvest.
Last post I asked for nine special prayer partners who would commit to praying for me on a specific day of the trip. I'm still in need of a couple more - find the details HERE.
Updated Team Prayer Requests
Health - I've been sick the last couple days and some other members of our team are struggling with some head colds, etc. Pray for complete healing and strength before we leave.
Kids ministry prep - My team is in charge of two days of kids ministry. Pray for the planning and also that God would prepare the kids' hearts to receive His truth.
Haitian People - This is an evangelistic outreach trip. Pray that God would be working in the lives of the Haitian people and their hearts would be open to the truth of the gospel.
Our Hearts - Pray that our hearts would be focused on Jesus. Pray that God would be at work in our hearts as we see and experience things that will break our hearts.
Finances - Huge PRAISE! We are almost 90% fully funded as a team. Pray for the remaining 10% to come in and a blessing on those who have generously given.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my supporters. Your prayers and financial support mean so much to me. You are a blessing and I pray that God richly rewards you for your generosity.

Prayer Partners
Will you pray with me? Will you pray for me?
I'll be leaving June 9th and returning June 18th. Nine days of travel, ministry, singing, loving people, etc. Many have said they would pray, many will pray, but I'm asking for a handful of my friends/family to take it a step further. I am looking for nine people to pray for me on a specific day of my trip - one for each day of my time in Haiti.
Interested?
If you are willing to be one of the nine, I would assign you a specific date and give you a detailed itinerary for the day and prayer requests. You would receive an update on how that particular day played out, and how God answered prayer. Please reply in the comment section if you don't have any of my personal contact info, otherwise - facebook, email, text, etc.
Thank you!
In the meantime, here are some recent prayer requests. Your prayers are so appreciated.
Prayer requests:
Sarah Martin - a team member who has been struggling with migraines. She's changing medications and it is a difficult adjustment. Pray for healing, strength and grace.
Transportation - pray for us to find affordable, reliable rental cars for our time in Miami. Also, pray for Pastor Michael Sust as he works out the transportation details in Haiti.
Children's Ministry - pray as we prepare and organize for our time of kids ministry in Haiti (I have volunteered to head up the planning for the Lancaster team). We will be working with children nearly every morning.
