Welcome to our Blog

We're glad you checked into our Blog. Our team is very excited about our trip and we hope you continue to follow our blog and share your thoughts and encouragement with us. Meet our team:
Joe (leader), Mary (boss), Bill, Kathy, John, Bill, Denise, Fern, Heather, Julia, Lisa, Rob, Carol, Tom
We will be working right outside of Port-au-Prince. The school at Rue-Frere in Petionville. This school is operated by Pastor Sannon and his wife. The couple does not have the financial resources to operate the school - never mind the resources required to repair the damage left by the earthquake and subsequent termite infestation. This faithful couple is struggling to make ends meet and is unwilling to turn children away.

There is vast unmet need in Haiti. Hunger, disease, and political unrest continue to be the norm. We hope to bring just a small amount of relief, hope, and love into the lives of those we meet.

More Team Member Comments

We are just 2 days away from Haiti.  We are very excited and a little anxious - and I'm sure that we're all running around in preparation.  Thank you all for your support in prayer and finances.  Please continue to keep our team and the people of Haiti in your prayers.  
Some additional comments from some team members:

Bill:" As I look toward Haiti, I am overwhelmed that this once thriving “Pearl of the Caribbean” has been stripped, and seemingly reduced to a state of utter hopelessness.  It is my prayer that through our efforts in serving the Haitian people, that Jesus, the Hope of the World, will be revealed and have an eternal impact for God’s kingdom. (Rom 15:13)"


Denise:"Going to Haiti has been my dream ever since the earthquake hit over a year ago. To have the privilege of going there with a great group of people to help those so much more unfortunate than we are, will be life changing. I know I’m the one who needs to be changed, but I hope that there will be many lives changed there by our small but willing efforts. God is Good!!!"

Mary: "I am so grateful for this week-long opportunity to serve Him in a new and different way. A year or so ago, Joe & I were feeling God tug at our hearts about stepping out in faith and doing something out of our comfort zone. We offer our hands and hearts to Him as we seek to serve Him well. We consider it a privilege to be traveling to Haiti and  to meet and share a week of life in their world with the Haitian people. We look forward to sharing the stories of what we have learned from them during this week with you when we return."
