Ready.........

Just a quick post to let you know you are in the right place if you are looking for Haiti updates!

Not sure if we will post again prior to the trip, but for sure beginning Monday evening, 6/21, (assuming we have power and Internet when we arrive), we will begin daily postings. We are humbled by the opportunity and grateful that you are interested in sharing the journey with us.

For anyone who stumbles on this post that did not receive the LCF email, I am including it here as well:

The countdown is on! Team Haiti leaves in 4 days and we are excited. We are busy making final preparations and packing supplies. Our flight leaves early the morning of 6/21 and we return late on 6/28.

If you are interested in keeping up with the details of our trip, go to the LCF website (www.lcfliberty.org) and click on the link to the Haiti Blog. Our goal is to update this blog site daily while we are there so that you can keep up with all that God is doing on our trip. As long as we have an Internet connection (which is not a guarantee), we will post daily. Hopefully the posts will give you a glimpse of what is happening in Haiti.

In addition to the daily updates, we will send prayer requests and we would be honored if you would join us in prayer. We would ask, above all, that you give an Epaphras Effort on our behalf. Paul describes Epaphras' effort in Colossians 4:12, "Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God." Please pray that we would stand mature and fully assured in the will of God. Specifically, we would covet your prayers for a few details as we prepare to leave:

Unity - Pray that our team of 9 would be unified in spirit and purpose, and that His unity would be a witness to those around us. Team members include: Heather Anderson, Jon Blake, Jody Fowler, Amy Hickox, Travis Kreutzer, Brandi Kreutzer, Jake Ohlhausen, Cameron Riemensnider, and myself.

Compassion - Pray that God would be working in our hearts, giving us compassion for our brothers and sisters in Haiti

Divine Appointments - Pray that God would ordain situations and opportunities to minister to the people He has for us. As of right now, the plan is to do work projects around the village every morning (while kids are in school), then spend time loving kids in the afternoon.

If you are interested, there will be a group gathering daily from 9:00-9:30AM at the church house to pray for the trip. Those gatherings will begin Monday, 6/21.

Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. We believe God has ordained the trip, the team, and the details and we are confident He will accomplish His purpose. We pray that He will be glorified in all we say and do.

For the sake of His Name
