Welcome to the official blog for our group mission trip from July 8th through the 15th! We had an early start to the morning, most of us waking up before 4am. Our group is filled with individuals eager to serve coming from Chicago, Minneapolis, West Virginia, Iowa and beyond!
Once we arrived in Port-au-Prince, our group made their way to the guest house on the tap tap, which is always such a unique and awesome experience. The Healing Haiti staff was eager for our arrival and truly made us feel at home and welcomed. After some time to get settled in, we met for dinner which was amazingly prepared by the staff at the guest house: taco salad!
Our team was able to meet to go over the weeks itinerary and learn about all of the amazing places, people and ways of service we are being called to. Each day has such great purpose and potential to truly display and use God's gifts to give back to this wonderful country and it's people.
Tomorrow begins our first day with visits to Build Globally, Dios and Monfort (an academy for the deaf and hard of hearing). We hope that you will stay with us as we go through our week and read about all of the wonderful ways this country is touching our hearts and how we are using our time here as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Goodnight all!
