As some of you may know, the Lord called on me to partake in an amazing opportunity this summer. I have been invited to participate in a mission project in Haiti. Soom after I decided to go on this mission, the spirit moved into my son Trey’s heart and he will be joining me. Over the next several months, we will be learning about cross-cultural missions, learning how to share our faith, getting to know our team and planning our team’s gospel presentation to the Haitian people. I not only need to raise funds to go to Haiti but I am eager to gather a team of believers who will be in prayer for Trey and I as well as our team both prior to and during our trip.
Our team will be serving in the city of St. Marc from June 25th through July 2. We will be working alongside Youth With A Mission, a missionary organization. One of our major projects is to purchase then build a permanent duplex home that will house two Haitian families. After last year’s devastating 7.0 earthquake, many Haitian families still do not have housing. Another one of our major projects is to help re-forest Haiti by purchasing mango, palm, cocoa and avocado trees and then plant them in several communities, including the community we will build the home. We also plan to visit a school and interact with the school children. We are planning to do skits, puppets and dance to share the gospel with them. In addition, each member on the team will have the opportunity to share his/her faith in God and invite those who’d like to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It will be a trip of a lifetime!!
I am determined to build a team of supporters. Please help me make a difference in the lives of the Haitian families who will receive permanent housing, the communities that will receive their new fruit trees, and the school children we will meet. Trey and I have an individual responsibility of $1,500 each in addition to expenses such as sleeping bags, rubber boots to combat the rainy season, travel shots to project us from disease, and passports to get us in and out of the country.
Here are a few ways my trip will be successful:
(1) PRAYER SUPPORT: As with any act of obedience, there will be a spiritual battle. The battle has already begun before I have even left the States. Satan keeps reminding me how dangerous Haiti is putting fear inside me while the Lord reminds me I am HIS child and have nothing to fear. Our team would be grateful for your prayers before and during our trip
(2) FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Our outreach expense includes the cost of home building materials, the fruit trees and roundtrip airfare to Haiti, meals and lodging. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
(3) MISSIONS AWARENESS at your church: I can make myself available to share what God did through our outreach with your church group.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in joining me on this Haiti mission. I have an online account for donations located on my blog, www.lovechildeworld.blogspot.com. I look forward to updating you on my Haiti experience.
Serving together,
Naivasha & Trey
