Friends and Family,
It's been a long time since I've had the chance to join a team for a short-term mission trip! During the summers of 2009 and 2010, I had the privilege of traveling to El Salvador, and throughout my college years, I wanted to join teams that were headed to Haiti or Nicaragua but was never able to take the time off work. Now that I am a few years into teaching, I am finally able to say, "Yes!" and it just so happens that teachers don't have to work during Spring Break, so I am headed to Haiti!
What I loved most about the time I spent in El Salvador was the ability to create relationships with the people we met, which then continued when we returned the following year. While I have never been to Haiti, I have heard countless stories about the people I will be meeting from friends who have been to Haiti multiple times over the years, and I am so excited to finally put faces to their names! I have also sponsored a 14-year-old girl through Restore Haiti for the past several years. She participates in the feeding program we will be helping with, and it is my hope that I will get to meet her while I am there.
I am looking forward to this trip and the opportunity to be reminded of the ways God is working in different parts of the world. I would love your prayers as we prepare for our week in Haiti - for protection and provision, as well as open eyes to see and ears to hear all that God has for me, our team, and the Haitians we will be joining.

In Jacmel, everything we do is centered around a thriving church in a rural community called Restoration Ministries. Restoration has many programs for the community including a school, a feeding program for the children, and a computer center for people to go online. They also build houses for people in need.
Teams working along side of Haitians all day, will help with building or manual labor projects that the church is working on. We have helped to build homes, a playground, worked on painting projects and helped in the community. The afternoons are spent helping with the feeding program, playing with the children and often offering a week of fun with Vacation Bible School.
The people in Jacmel will steal you hearts!
