25 days & counting!

A little over 3 weeks to go until my trip! I’m very excited!! Leading up to the trip, I’m anxious to help people who have mountainous struggles that make mine look like mole hills.

I’m anxious to:

Learn from Haitians, more than teach.

Listen to Haitians, more than speak.

And be blessed with Haitians, more than preach.

I am anxious to be there strictly as a servant and a sponge. To serve whatever needs that I am called to do - and to absorb as many possible lessons that the people of Haiti and the atmosphere shows me.

There is still much to be done! Will be trying to gather my packing over this next week and a half and I’m going to need your help in filling some gaps. Take a look around your house this weekend and let me know if you have any of the following items that you can either donate and/or lend. Some are big items…some are small….but all are needed…whether you’re able to donate/lend 1 or multiple items on this list – or even make a contribution for the purchase of 1 or more of these items, I would be forever grateful!
