In 2016 hurricane Matthew slammed into the southwestern coast of Haiti bringing widespread damage. Matthew was a late season category 5 hurricane that seemed to pop up out of nowhere, but there were signs. We saw it. Across the ocean, Americans sitting in their air-conditioned living rooms, sipping their ice teas, watching their wide screened tv’s, had a ringside seat to the destruction this storm brought. Thanks to CNN, The Weather Channel, or any number of the hundreds of cable channels we flip through on any given night we saw it all. This storm left devastation everywhere; more than 350,000 in need of immediate aid, thousands homeless and hundreds dead. |

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.
