Leaving for Haiti

Giving Children Hope has been conducting disaster relief for 16+ years now – but this is my first time traveling to a disaster area.

I’ve been asked so many questions and honestly, I’m not sure of all of my thoughts. I can say that the logistics fell into place and a team will be going along with one of the shipments we have been sending. I feel pretty peaceful about the trip.

Any news I can report from the field will be posted at www.aidtohaiti.org. We need people to post this on their blogs and spread it to their friends. We need to raise the finances to cover the expenses of the relief taking place.

As much as we can we show you photos of the actual communities we serve. With international aid having such a bad reputation, the more we can show you (and I’m sure I’ll have a lot to show soon) the more trust people have in us.

Currently we are working with trusted field partners to equip them with the supplies, medicines and food that is needed. We have confirmation that prior shipments are already in the field.

More than anything I covet your prayers on this trip. And please pray for the people of Haiti. The situation is still desperate and providing aid gives hope. We pray that Jesus would be glorified through all of these efforts.
