A team of ten will leave RDU on November 7 to make the journey to Haiti. Team members include: Lori Martin of Turkey Baptist Church; Ashley Hartsoe, Ashley Faircloth, Cynthia Collins, Bob Bailey of FBC Clinton; Darden Battle from Virginia; Juli Lamberth, Keith Talley, and Hilda Talley from Reidsville; and Paul Langston of the Eastern Baptist Association. Mrs. Martin will be with the medical team, while the others will be with a construction team constructing 12X12 frame shelters with blue plastic tarp sides and tin on the roof as temporary housing.
Each team member has been responsible for raising the $1000 cost for the trip. Thank you to FBC Clinton for their generous support of the team members from that church.
We will be staying at a compound operated by Global Outreach and working with NC Baptist Men in conjunction with Samaritan's Purse. The compound is about 20 minutes from the center of Port au Prince.

ReplyDeleteThe preparations for the November mission trip to Haiti are in full swing. We have been vaccinated and are making plans for departure. It is our desire to minister to the people both spiritually and physically. We leave the comfort of our homes with confidence in what our God can do and in our own salvation. It is the gift of salvation that we wish to share with the people. The Haitians are still recovering from the earthquake and now are battling a cholera outbreak. We do not know exactly what we will encounter when we get there but we know that God does. We are excited about the opportunities that lie before us. We are praying that the way is made so that seeds fall on good soil. Please pray for us as we make final preparations.
