Ready to Go

Well the time is almost here!! It is pretty neat to think back to that initial meeting in October 2007 where we were challenged to step out of our comfort zones and possibly sign up to go to Haiti. We were given some information about the trip itself, a little about what we would possibly experience and asked where we thought we would best be used. Upon leaving the meeting we were told to be ready to be Challenged and Changed!!!! Some knew right then that this wasn't the trip for them and I knew that this was the one I HAD to go on!!!! With alot of prayer and talking things out with family and friends, this one proved to be in God's plan for me. It has been such a neat experience to see God's hands working in all of our preparations. Our fund raisers could not have gone better and our monthly meetings have really brought this trip together and we are ready to go!!! One of the best things about this experience so far has been working with the team that God Himself has assembled for this job. We have truly begun to grow together as a team and I realize what a special group this really is. As we near our departure with all our "necessities" taken care of (supplies, getting shots, suntan lotion, bug spray, antibiotics, learning a little Kreyol, leaving the "homefront"........), we may have some traveling "jitters", but when I look at their pictures and pray for the children that will attend our VBS, I am assured that God has the Whole World in His hands. Thanks to each and every person that has supported this trip in anyway and know that you have been a blessing to us and have helped us make this trip possible. Pray for us now as we are excited to start the work that we have been planning and as we share God's love with God's Littlest Angels!!!!
