The Long-Awaited Trip to Haiti is Here!

Family and Friends,

Just a quick reminder to let everyone know we are heading down to Haiti tomorrow for our Fall trip. Actually, tomorrow we will fly to Miami, spend the evening, and on Wednesday morning we will arrive in Port-au-Prince if everything goes as planned.  Please pray for safety and good weather!

Here is our basic framework of goals for this trip...

1.  Spend time with Zacharie charting out his expectations and vision concerning his role with this ministry and setting goals for the upcoming year.
2.  Visit the Deaf/Disabled School in Cayes (led by Lucner & wife) and try to better understand their vision (current and future), needs, challenges, etc...
3.  Meet with other potential candidates for ministry partnership.
4.  Visit old friends in Ti-Riviere.
5.  Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in ministry and take advantage of other opportunities presented to us along the way!


Our children are staying with Cory's parents in Newton, Iowa, where they will be properly spoiled while we are gone.  Our dog is with Lynn's parents in Sioux Center, and a team of neighbors will be tending to our house and fish tank.

Thanks again to everyone who has made this trip possible financially.  A special thanks to ARC in Luverne for giving us the time to be gone and working together to cover worship/music responsibilities during our absence.  Most of all, thanks to everyone who faithfully lifts us and the people we serve up in prayer each day.  Please continue to do that over the next week and a half, and check back often to the blog to see updates as we will try to update each day if possible.


May Your Adventure Occasionally Take You to Distant Lands!
