Change of View Change of Heart
As I walked down the jetway that connected our plane to Haiti I was filled with excitement. We were finally here. I was getting ready to step into my “what’s next”. The actual planning of this trip only took about 2 and 1/2 weeks, but in reality, it has been years in the making. I may not have known that God was taking me to this small island nation located in the middle of the Caribbean located somewhere between North and South America in February 2019, until February of 2019, but He knew. He has known all along that one day my next step would be planting seeds for change in the rich, fertile soil of the tropical island of Haiti.
Raise A Hallelujah
Raise a Hallelujah has become my new mantra, and is the theme for our upcoming mission trip to Haiti in 2020, not just because of the catchy tune, or the battle like tempo, but because the words ring so true in my ears. “I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies. I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief. I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody. I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me.” I truly believe that and I believe that our heavenly father inhabits our praises. I want to live with God inhabiting my praises. I want Him so close I can touch Him.
Hope For Haiti – A New Well
I recently was asked in an interview, what I could do with $1,000. My answer was “What can’t I do with $1,000?” This week thanks to your support, we are wiring $3,000 to a partner in Haiti who will give it to another non-profit there, Schools for Haiti, who will dig a well at an orphanage for disabled children that we have taken under our wing. Next week, another non-profit, One Ball, One Village, will stop by and put a complete water filtration system on that newly dug well. In 7 days the lives of 24 children, as well as the family who cares for them will forever be changed.
