An amazing opportunity to veer off course a bit. Well… let me back up. We have the opportunity to “kill three birds with one stone” so to speak. Haiti is not exactly on the way to Madagascar but surprisingly has a lot in common with it. The main reason for us taking this adventure is to visit the “Heartline Ministries” maternity center. They are a thriving Women’s Center that have made huge strides in meeting the needs of the Haitian people. We are headed there to learn from their model program and hopefully implement some of their successful practices at the Sarobidy Maternity Center in Madagascar. This is such an honor, such a blessing, such an amazing opportunity for which we are so grateful!
Eden Reforestation Projects also just started a program there in Haiti with Ric Harroll (who is heading up the site). We are hoping to see some of the new approaches of reforesting where they are working through the schools.
The third advantage (mainly an interesting coincidence) is we have a Compassion International child who we support that happens to live in the same area. We hope to visit him or at least bring a care package for him.
And we get to go with our field partners, Jamie and Alissa Shattenberg! (While they are still stateside )
If we could ask you to be praying for this upcoming journey for our families. This quick 5-day trip is just the adults (+Jolie as she can’t be away from mama for that long yet).
We fly off Nov 4th through the 9th.
We are also thrilled to announce that we are over 50% funded for our monthly support. Praise God! We are overjoyed by all you who have welcomed us into your living rooms, kitchens, and local Starbucks. We have been honored to share God’s new vision for our family, and we are humbled by the love and support of so many of you. Thank -You!!!
