Golden ~Eye~

This Saturday 27 people from Durham Evangelical Church (www.Durhame.org ) is sponsoring a trip to serve in Haiti. I have the privilege to participate in the construction portion of the mission outreach. My teenage (17) daughter is also attending the trip and will be working with the children’s program. Our two teams have partnered with two local (NH/MA) organizations that are based in the US.

Partners in Development (PID) and Heart-line Ministries have been successfully working in Haiti for over 20 years. While there, we will be working toward finishing the Medical Center that provides basic health care and checkups for many Haitians. We will also be working with children’s programs serving the orphanage and working at the English Camp.

Several of our goals are to finish 2 of the exam rooms and get them to a usable state by future missionaries. In addition we will be working to finish dwellings for PID partners and possibly build new dwellings. The second group will be working with Heart-Line in/around the orphanage providing English teaching.

We have several needs in relation to this trip but most importantly is prayer support for safety, effective ministry and that God will use this trip to grow each of us. There is a list of material needs on our website though many of the goals are time sensitive since we are leaving this weekend but others are ongoing.  Although there were several fund raisers to support the trip there are always financial implications for the people involved.

We realize you may not be able to support our trip financial  or through material domination , but want to thank you for considering it and most importantly for your continued prayers.

I hope to blog updates as time allows so keep an eye out for new posts.. or subscribe to the feed and you’ll always be in the know.

While you are celebrating your independence this weekend please take a moment to pray for those that don’t have such a privilege..
