Hey guys!
I know its been awhile since I posted here on my blog. So I wanted to update you on what I have been up to.
I just recently returned from a mission trip to Grand Goave, Haiti with Lifeline Christian Mission. My mother, Uncle, Aunt and two young cousins also went which was such a great experience. My two younger cousins are 11 and 8 and it was amazing to watch their love for God and others grow and their global conceptions expand.
While we were there we were able to:
· See and spend some time with my beautiful Gariana, the young lady I sponsor who lives in Lifeline’s Children’s Home in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.
· Assisted in building 5 new homes for Haitian families.
· Clinic where 50 patients were seen and prayed for in 4 hours where we treated one toddler with malaria and discovered uterine cancer in another woman. Every patient prayed with so they know God did what healing has taken place.
· Visited 2 chicken coops as part of Lifeline’s new Poultry Project
· Prayed with a dozen families from the church who have unique and special needs through home visits.
· Distributed sponsor gifts, money ($15,000+), rice, Bibles, beds and more to over 600 children at the Grand Goave school, praying for each one.
· Met with a dozen or more sponsored children, visited many of their homes and loved them all for Jesus.
· Distributed formula and cereal to infants and prayed with them.
· Attended Ladies Praise & Worship Service where I gave my personal testimony about the power of Our Lord’s forgiveness and love.
· Distributed clothing to 188 recipients.
· Handed out 280 beautiful little handmade dresses for needy little girls.
· Distributed 18 layettes in the community praying with each mother and baby.
· Shared in 18 team devotions
· Played basketball with the girls’ basketball team.
· Spent time at the children’s home where my cousin Olivia was able to meet some of the kids who received the beds she was able to raise funding for.
It was a great trip and really helped prepare me for The World Race. I have included some pictures of our trip. My favorite is the one of my 8 year-old cousin praying with a child who just received clothing.
I have also been getting ready for the World Race trip! I leave in just a little more than 2 months. Time flies! I have been getting my shots, medications, flights and materials ready and there is still plenty more to do. Training camp will be in Atlanta from May 18th until May 25th. I couldn’t be more excited to meet my squad and the staff of AIM.
I just wanted to give you a small update and let you know why I haven’t been posting. I will be posting more often so keep a look out!
