Hi! Just a note to give you an exciting update on how God is working in my life. He has called me to the mission field of Gonaives,Haiti at this point part-time in the Spring to help lay ground work for an orphanage among other things. I am going with the great team led by Kirk Day from the First Baptist Church in El Dorado. I don't know a lot but what I do know are these facts:
The mission is Christopher's Hope founded with help from God by Jan Thompson-former El Dorado girl!
The team will be from 25-30 members
Looking at possibly the first week in February or over Spring break the middle of March-Kirk and Angie Deaver-his sister are heading up the team. They have both been active and gone to Hiati as well as other mission fields so they know the ropes!!!!
The trip is 9-10 days.
The cost for an experience that only God can send you on is around $1200.
I have started on my immunizations and received 4 last Monday.
There are other members on the team who have special talents and gifts and while I wonder how I can help, I am anxious to meet the people of Hiati and see where it leads me!
This opportunity just shows how Pastor Stan Seymour's sermons have helped me listen to God to carryout his plan for me to further his kingdom.
My wonderful daughter Holli, always my encourager and organizer has created this beautiful blog to post to so everyone will know what the latest news update is. Thanks so much to those that have offered their special skills and talents to me already, I'm keeping a list!!!! At this time I am asking for you to pray for me and the education I will be receiving to help me in this great opportunity.
Sounds so cool! Maybe someday we will go together...we'll be thinking of you!
