         important update:
 
So this month started off quite differently than any other. I watched some of my best friends leave LAX. Grief set in and things started to change. Something happened. I took a collective look over my life plans and what I thought God has for me and it hit me – I am ready, willing, and mobile. More than that I found myself having a heart and a passion for things I had never dwelt on. 

I quickly made friends with fellow June World Race members and ideas and plans were off and running. 

Well the opportunity to step out in faith and GO has arose. After prayer and much consideration I will be spending the remaining months in Georgia with another missionary (Kyle Young) at a local pastors home in Atlanta.

After making that decision early last week, Haiti happened. For some odd reason I didn’t look at it the same as the usual catastrophe (Katrina, Tsunami) like I did before. My heart was crying out and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Before I could blink I got a call from Kyle (new roomie) telling me that we are going very soon. Again taken back and astonished I agreed not knowing what I was getting into.



So here is the deal. I am going to start fundraising for a seperate trip… 15 day trip to Haiti–we leave in a few weeks. More details and flight schedule TBD (as you could imagine its a bit hectic getting in and out). Once I got word of this trip there were literal miracles that happened after I got off the phone and the following days. I am not good at hearing God all the time but if there was ever a blatant shouting from Him — this was it!!
 
I will be putting together a small video tomorrow about the trip. This is just a quick update as to where I am at and where I am going.

 
 
 
This trip to Haiti coming up will be seperately funded from the WR trip. We are estimating it to be around $1,500 for the 15 days. That includes all travel expenses and food and water. This is a high estimate!! We don’t know what the purchasing power/availability will be of basic resources. We are budgeting $75 a day which we will probably not spend. In reality we should only be raising half of that but we have to be smart given the current climate of Haiti. The dividend we do not use will go towards medical supplies, food, and water for the locals. We are trying to be as minimal as possible. 

I will be posting a video by Wednesday at the latest explaining the trip and the costs breakdown. 

If you want to donate for this specific cause you will be giving it to me directly not my WR support account. Please call me or email me if you would like to support us!

I cant thank you guys enough for being by my side through all of this. There has been overwhelming support these past few weeks including $1,400 coming into my World Race account! Thank you guys!

I love you guys and thank you again for all your support!! Please pray for me as the days and weeks go by…. I will need it!
