And the countdown begins...

25 days! I've been really busy latley that I feel like I keep forgetting that I am going on my trip. But I have started preparing for it: last week I got some shots I needed and I have to start think about what I am going to pack. But I'm starting to get really excited for my trip, but also a little nervous! I'm going to a place I've never been with people I've never met- who wouldn't be nervous? But I'm excited for the adventure God is sending me on!

While I am in Haiti I am staying with a missionary family who run a ministry called Hope in the Light. (hopeinthelight.org) I'll be staying in their home, along with other people who will be coming and going during the week.

I think I am doing pretty well with raising the money I need so far. It's been hard to know how much I have for sure because Heaven Sent Ministries is all the way in West Virginia and it sometimes takes a little bit for them to have everything updated. But last time I checked I think I was close to $1100! If you feel led to help me go on this amazing journey I would love for the support!

I need your support!

On January 12, 2010 Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake. As I was looking at photos on the Internet and watching news coverage I felt I was being called to go to Haiti and serve. I am partnering with a organization called Heaven Sent Ministries based out of West Virginia. The dates of my trip are May 18-25, 2010.

The main reason I am writing to is to ask for your prayer and support. I would love for your continuing thoughts and prayer now until I get back on May 25th .

Another area in which I could use your help is through financial support. If you feel led I would be very grateful for your financial support as well.

It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13 (The Message)
