Mission: Haiti

Myself and 26 other youth and leaders will be departing towards Haiti at a lovely hour of 3 am on July 3rd. As the country with the highest poverty in the western hemisphere and almost entirely engulfed in voodoo, simply speaking, prayer is needed for myself and the group.

As one of the older youth in the group I have a greater responsibility upon me. And thus I ask of prayer for:

An awareness of situations around me, both during travel and in Haiti

Wisdom and discernment when problems arise

A broken heart for the people we meet and witness to

An encouraging spirit for the mission organization we are staying with

Safety during travel(plane, bus ride-8 to 14 hour ride dependent on river levels, ya!) and the beginning of Hurricane season

Health-malaria, heat stroke, sunburn, dengue fever

To see the world as God does, none of us have been to a 3rd world country

And, upon returning, we not be so incredibly cynical towards developed countries that we lose sight of what God has given us

Thanks fellows
