Love on La Gonave

We just want to say thank you for all of your love and support as we transition to life in Haiti. We have been truly amazed at how the Lord has placed us in such an encouraging community and how people we barely know have chosen to stand behind us as we serve. We made the decision to go to Haiti at the very end of September with our goal departure October 1^st. This is a crazy quick timeline and it was hard to trust that God would provide the funding, endurance, and support to get us there. However, He came through! We have had an incredible amount of help, with everything from a huge garage sale, to learning about our strengths and how best to use them in our new work, to dinners out to help us get away from the chaos, help to sell our car, cleaning and sorting everything we own, packing 3 bags that pushed the 50 pound weight limit, seeing us off at the airport, and, of course, friends preparing a place for us in Haiti. We really wanted to meet with people face to face to share our story and request funding and prayer support, but because of time constraints this was not possible in most cases. The Lord still prompted people to give and we received pledges to fulfill all of our funding needs before we left. We are so thankful to have you, this amazing team of people, behind us, supporting us, and praying for us, while we serve on La Gonave!
