"Mwen kapab." ("I can.")
In a nation still wracked by devastation wrought from decades of tragedies and strife, where a common saying is "I cannot", there remains a voice teaching young people that THEY CAN learn to read, learn to write, learn math, and be a light to their community: Mission of Hope Haiti. These people are serious about showing Christ's love to Haiti, in serving the immediate physical needs, (meals, prosthetics, homes) but also longer-term (churches, roads, business development, technical training). They’re also incredibly efficient in stewarding resources, directing >90% of all gifts to the benefit of Haiti. (If you’re interested in seeing more, there’s a great document with more detail: http://www.mohhaiti.org/Vision_2014.pdf)
This July, I have the privilege of leading a group of high school students from Hill Country Bible Church Pflugerville on a 9 day mission trip to Haiti to serve the people of Haiti with Mission of Hope and get (way) out of our comfort zones and experience life change ourselves. The team has been doing lots of things to raise funds to go (including a fundraiser dinner, hiring out for small jobs, etc.) but each of us still need significant support to enable an international mission trip (my first, at 37!). So, I have to raise $1600 to pay for the flights and everything else, and I’d love to have your support! Regardless of if you decide to send financial support, or not, please pray for our team as we get ready to leave on the 4th of July and during our time in Haiti!
Thank you!
