Bonjou!
I am making this blog so that you can track me and our team on our quest to Haiti this summer. There are nine of us total going to Haiti. Kaiti and I are the official "trip leaders." We are both interns at La Tech Wesley. Our trip dates are May 20-June 18. We are flying out of Monroe, to Dallas, to Ft. Lauderdale, then straight into Port-au-Prince (Haiti's capital). The official language of Haiti is Haitian Creole. For our trip, we are going to be traveling around to different villages in Haiti throughout the month. The plan is to stay in tents the entire time we are there. This will be interesting because we will be there in the rainy season......
We are working with a ministry call Remember the Poor Int. You can view their web site at http://www.rememberthepoorintl.org/index.html
The things we will be doing while we are in Haiti are: Sharing the bible with people through a Proclaimer (a solar powered audio bible we have ordered in Creole), various construction projects, church visits, vbs and possibly medical mission projects. We also may do a "croc drop" (a distribution of free Crocs to the Haitians) but we first need Croc shoes donated!
I am going to try to post on this blog throughout our trip in Haiti. We won't have internet for parts of the trip, but I will try to update whenever possible so you can know what to pray for us for, and so you can join us in any adventures that we want to share with you while we are there!
Our team is preparing for the trip by doing weekly fasts, having weekly meetings, sharing our testimonies with each other, and fundraising. We are currently in the process of getting all our immunizations!
I am incredibly excited about the trip, and I wish we were leaving tomorrow. But there is still preparation to be done, so with prayer and patience our team will be moving forward excitedly! I will update more when there is more to update!
