Packing

THE FREEDOM OF POVERTY
What is poverty? It is a freedom so that what I possess doesn't own me, so that what I possess doesn't hold me down, so that my possessions don't keep me from sharing or giving of myself.
Mother Theresa
Our September 5th team packed last night. It's amazing how 11 people who barely know eachother can come together with donations from others, donations of their own personal time and talent, and prepare for a journey that will probably change their lives.
It's so nice when people who are blessed with extra's give so freely.
We have a team of 11 people going on this trip. We will be doing dental exams, medical exams, and eye exams along with the other Healing Haiti mission projects: Water truck, schools, orphanages, Grace Village, elderly.
I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us on this trip. I really enjoy watching the team members, especially the new ones, opening their hearts and minds to Haiti.
Please keep us all in your prayers and we will try to keep you updated on this blog.
God Bless
