Traverse Bay United Methodist Church family has once again blessed another mission trip to Haiti. The Children's House Orphanage, in Petionvill, now has about 30 boys awaiting for our arrival. We packed 12 suitcases full of donations. They were filled with special birthday boxes(made by the Sunday school children),paint supplies, bed sheets and pillow cases, balls, art materials, games, vitamins and much needed financial support!!!We are truly blessed by God's disciples. Thank you TBUMC!
We especially thank the fifth grade children and staff of Westwoods Elementary school for donating 1 suitcase full of Legos and 1 suitcase full of hot wheel cars(200 cars). Dillon will be working hard at teaching the boys the wonderful fun of these toys! Great job Westwoods school!!!!
We will be departing on Monday May 28th. All 6 of us have started our malaria medications, have all our vaccinations and have all we can fit into our carry-on luggage for personal items. God has blessed our trip abundantly as usual, and His plans for us will unfold as we begin our travels in 1 week. It has been awesome to watch Him work in our lives as we prepared over the past year.
Tentatively we will be painting the inside of the orphanage, building the rest of the security wall surrounding the orphanage, painting a Christian mural, and teaching about Christ thru some innovative lessons. But, as you know, especially any of you that have traveled to a third world country, things always change and we may not do anything that we have intended to do. We know for sure that we will be used how God intended. Bless you all, and may you find the blog site insightful and informative. May you be blessed abundantly by our telling of the story of the people in Haiti.
