As One Missions Outreach to Haiti

In March (3/14 - 21), I will be joining a men's trip to Haiti for a second year in a row. I was tremendously impacted by the people of Haiti. They showed me how to be joyful no matter what there circumstances. We did a lot for them but I think they did more for me. They changed my heart to love others in a way I didn't know I could love. I bonded with an orphan named Ronel. When I got back I wasn't sure I made that big of an impact on him until my wife went to Haiti and showed a video I made for him. The joy that video brought him made my decision to go back easy.  

I am kindly asking that you consider helping me in prayer, encouragement and financially, if you feel called. As I shared above the impact the trip had on me, here are some highlights of what we did to make an impact on the community:

• Shared the Gospel message, and prayed over hundreds of people in personal 1-on-1 moments,
• Brought joy to neighborhood kids, orphans at Chanje Lakay and families as we played soccer, basketball, danced, laughed, and loved on whole communities;
• Brought much needed food, about 3,000 meals in total and toiletries to multiple communities and the hundreds of families within;
• Funded the building of a long-overdue roof for a home belonging to the husband and wife who run one of our orphanages, and provided our own sweat-equity as we labored alongside the Haitians who were employed to perform the work.
• Encouraged and poured into several Haitian translators looking to make a difference in their communities and country

We did all of this through an organization called the Chanje Movement. A movement looking to empower the people of Haiti not just give hand outs. Although we are there to help for a week at a time the Haitian's are there everyday living life. The Chanje Movements gives them tools do help change there community everyday of the year.

I can't wait to see all that God has in store for me, my team members and the people of Haiti on this next trip. Looking forward to sharing more amazing stories with you when we return.

Thank you so much for you help,
