Haiti here I come!

It is official, I booked my flight today. I hope that I have enough time to accomplish all I have to do. I have the exact same feeling I had when I went sky diving. I am getting what they call ground rush. For the majority of the time you are 'falling' it doesn't feel that way. You are flying! :) you are floating above the ground and admiring all there is to take in of the earth below. Then when you are nearer to the ground...(I am unsure on the feet), but then you are falling! There seems to be so much going on with the world around me and the ground is coming soon. Anticipation! unexplainable. And I know the 'ground' in Haiti will also be unexplainable. I know that this will be bittersweet situation. I miss the Haitian people and have been dreaming of returning since last March. But the undiscribable trama they have been through will be very hard to experience. Non the less I am glad I can be there for them, and maybe bring a little bit of hope.

Mission plans

Missions ~ I believe is the heart of the church. Jesus wanted us to help those in need - missions is one way of doing that. Growing up in a church allowed me to understand the importance of missions at a young age. I have felt a calling from God to be a full-time missionary for quite some time.

In the Spring of 2009, the people of Haiti allowed me to experience what it means to follow Jesus by working as a community of love. This experience solidified for me that the purpose in life is not about materialism rather loving your neighbor and God. I decided to adjust my priorities and face the fear that was previously preventing me from answering the call of God.

I will be volunteering in Haiti in May for 1-2 months and again in September for 9 months to a year.

I will be working with HAPI artisans to expand on sellable products sold in the United States as well as serving as the regioinal site coordinator for the Community of Shalom in Mizak.

My life journey this year has taught me, you need to trust where God is leading you and trust that God will maked things happen. To make this mission possible I need your support, prayers, and financial contributions to make this mission possible.

Blessings~
