Heading to Haiti AGAIN!!!!

I think you all know that I am heading to Haiti again in April.  I was given an incredible opportunity to bring my experience to my hometown church - Grace Lutheran in Waseca.  One my first trip I received a very generous (and very unexpected) donation from someone I graduated high school with.  He was clear that there were no expectations on how this donation was to be used but encouraged me to have opens eyes and an open heart during my trip and to see if I felt called to "give" in a certain area.  He also encouraged me to see if there was a natural avenue for Grace to help.  I gave it some time after my return and decided I knew where I wanted Grace to be able to help if they were able.  I LOVED the story of Isaiah's orphanage - he and his brother are the ones who gathered up 16 orphans after the earthquake 4 years ago and took them in.  They are committed to raising these kids and they have become a family.  I found out through conversations with Healing Haiti that Isaiah's is being well cared for and that they have exciting things in the works.  We kept thinking and working toward areas that we could help.  In the mean time we began talking about the possibility of having a team go from Grace Lutheran.  Well, that is happening and I am sooooo excited!  We leave the day after Easter, April 21st.  Please pray for us as we come together and prepare for what is calling us.  If you are reading this, 2 spots remain available....

Thanks for joining me on this journey!  By the way, we hope to be working on a special project - possible with Grace Village while in Haiti.  There are a couple options that are being looked at and we hope to part of some great changes there.
