Preparing for Haiti Trip January 2012

Most of the team traveling to Haiti (19 travelers) stood in a church classroom on Saturday shaking their heads at the mountain of 36 suitcases and tables overflowing with medical provisions, school supplies, computer equipment, children's books, painting equipment and more! It must have been a God moment that when the packing was complete all the supplies fit in all of the suitcases and there were six extra allotted pounds to spare!     The projects planned for this trip include: painting the school  installing classroom chalkboards placing power/data in computer labs computer installation running medical clinics teaching English and chemistry library organization furthering existing craft micro-businesses Among missionaries the motto seems to be that you "make a plan and then need to be prepared to readjust" because conditions and priorities can change once you're in the field. So stay tuned as we hope to be able to send news of our progress as the trip evolves with several different writers sharing as the week unfolds.

Prayer Requests The bags are packed, the plane tickets are in hand, now we ask you to join us in prayer. Today's requests are for.... safe travel expedient arrival of the suitcases with all supplies intact, that God will be honored by our actions and work, and for good health so we can work diligently. Thank you for the many ways you have helped us prepare for this journey and for your continued prayer support.
