Lift Off!

So. We are leaving in less than 24 hours. Crazy.

All your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.

Here are a few specific prayer requests:

• For safety while driving to the airport (we have some crazy hail/snow/rain thunder and lightening storms)
• Against spiritual warfare. (We don't want the Devil to take hold of anything in our lives or target areas in which we have struggled in the past; also 50% of the Haitian population practices Vodou)
• For the Haitians
• For team unity
• For overall health
• That the LORD will use us
• That we may be bold and courageous

"I may be weak, but your Spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, but my God you never will. Give me faith, to trust what you say. That you're good, and your love is great" - Elevation Worship

He has a plan.

Last night our Haiti team met up in our school prayer chapel to sing and pray over our trip.

One of the songs we sang was 'Come Away.' I find God's wild, great, and God-filled plan such an encouragement.

Come away with me, come away
It's never too late,
it's never too late,
it's not too late for you.

I have a plan for you,
I have a plan.
It's going to be wild,
it's going to be great,
it's going to be full of me

Bon Swa! Haiti here I come!

As some of you may know, God has been doing big things in my life recently. This past year, I made the transition from Chapman University, to living at home, to now, Simpson University. It has sure been a journey.

I am so excited for what God has in store for my life and about the opportunities and doors He has been opening for me. This upcoming Saturday (during my spring break), I have the opportunity to go to Haiti with a student missions team from Simpson. After the earthquake last January, Haiti still has many needs. Since I am studying Cross-Cultural Studies and am passionate about community development work, I am excited to be a part of the rebuilding and restoration effort in Haiti. Our team will be working alongside locals (who have formed previous relationships with Simpson students) with Delta Ministries.

Our team leaves Saturday out of San Francisco and returns April 4th.
