Yes, as you can see by our head bands in the pictures, we
are a group of 15 “cautionary crusaders” who are about to embark one week from
today to serve the people of Haiti. Our group is comprised of 15 unique
individuals, 11 high school youth (4 girls & 7 boys) & 4 adult leaders
all from St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Bloomington, MN. This will be a first
time experience serving in Haiti for all, except 3 of our leaders, Margie,
Kevin & Martin, have been blessed to serve before.
We are all extremely excited to finally being leaving on
Monday after many months of preparing our minds, hearts & souls. We first
began meeting all the way back in cold & snowy January to prepare for the
journey God has laid before each of us both individually & collectively. None
of us have a clue what the Lord has planned for us in the coming week. What
will I/we see? What will I/we hear? Who shall I/we meet? Who will I/we
impact? How will they impact me/us? How will I/we be changed? All these
questions & so many more will all soon become only partially answered as
this experience will not have a start & end date. Our desire & prayer
is this that this will be forever life changing for each of us!
We would like to ask that you please pray for us both prior
to our leaving on Monday & while we are in Haiti next week. Please follow
us on our daily blog & feel free to invite others to do the same. Who knows
maybe by following us the Lord will lead you to serve others, whether it be in
your own neighborhood or in lands far away such as Haiti!
