haiti...

i think there's a total of two people that every read this, but for the two of you, i say thanks! i leave in the morning (6am--i don't think that's considered morning, rather some kind of pre-morning), which really means i have to leave my house at 3.30am...wow, that's exciting! anyways, i'm going to haiti this next week to work with newmissions. they are an organization that supports children in various villages throughout the Leogane plane. it is just 25 miles southwest of the capital of haiti. the mission supports over 6,000 students and their education.

needless to say this needs prayer. i have to be honest and say i'm being very selfish right now. i'm finding myself about to hit an emotional wall. the last 2-3 weeks have been completely insane and emotionally/physically draining. i hate going into a situation like this that will no doubt suck me dry already dry. i have so much on my heart and mind and want to be completely there emotionally/spiritually/physically. i would hate to be there for this experience and have my focus back here at home! so i appreciate your prayers and thoughts so much. talk to you in a week...

So, how was your trip? I was in Leogane in early November. Violence has amped up in a huge way down there in the past couple of months - even the compound that my team worked out of was overrun by thugs recently. They disrupted a church service, stole wallets, cell phones etc from members, reaked havoc in the girl's orphanage on the compound and worse. Haiti needs our prayer in a huge way.
