On Saturday, our Haiti team will be meeting at the church office at 3:00am to pack up and leave for the airport. Yes, you heard that correctly - 3:00am. Yes, it's early. Yes, it's inconvenient. Yes, they would love to still be sleeping. But the team knows that comfort, convenience, and the so-called 'necessities' are all optional when the opportunity to take the gospel to the world is the goal.
Please pray for our team as they pack. They will not only be packing clothes and toiletries. They will also be packing all of their food for the week. Charlotte Elliott and Sandy Wilson are shopping and then packing a weeks worth of cans, packages, and boxes on Thursday. Pray that the food will fit in as few bags as possible. The airline baggage fees still have to be paid.
As I sign off, let me include a bit from an email that Charlotte sent to the team earlier today,
I am excited and hope that you all are too. The physical food will soon be taken care of……..it’s the REAL meal that I am looking forward to. God will lay out a terrific ‘Spiritual Banquet’ for us all! Only our Great and Mighty God could take us to one of the 4 poorest countries in the world, and feed our souls. I am going to be looking for the Voo Doo Princess that got saved last year ( I have a gift for her). My prayer is that God will give each of you a special set of your own stories. I can’t wait to see how he shows off…..
Stay tuned to this site over the next week and catch up on their trip each day.
Grace and Peace
Jamie
