Two Weeks Out

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.
