To Haiti to serve with our hands and feet

Couple of weeks ago we were interseeding for Haiti and the team felt in their heart that we would like to do more for Haiti. We wanted to go to Haiti and give our hands and feet to serve the people who were affected by the earthquake. After praying and talking and scaring the fears we give the whole thing back to God.

Soon we felt that we should go there and we started to fundraise the financies. It was amazing to see how our friends, relatives and even the people that we did not know wanted to support the trip and that way be part of the valuble work that we were going to do in Haiti. In a week we were able to pay the tickets and pay lots of aid for YWAM Haiti. We bought a BIG bag full of all kinds of medical stuff and it was a LOT!! We even got some discount because our Brazilian friend told the man that we are doing mission work. Praise God!!

What happens next. Tomorrow morning we will fly to Panama and change the plane and then at the afternoon we will arrive to Dominical Republic. We might stay over night in the YWAM base in Santo Domingo and next day get the ride to the border where YWAM Haiti will pick us up. After that we might go to St. Marc to the YWAM base where we will hear our workplaces. Some of us will work with wounded once, painting and fixing and prepairing the place for the new refugies and work where the need is the biggest. St. Marc is calmer place and the city is in a ok shape and espeasially the YWAM base is in a good shape and there is clean water etc.

We will come back 17th of February and fly back to Finland from Sao Paulo but for that there is much to do:)

We will try to update the blog in Haiti but because of the security we will not take the laptop with us. So the internet access might be little pit hard to find. Lets pray that we could at least update this page even if our personal mails would have to wait until 17th.

As a team we want to tank you all who gave to us and made this trip possible. We also want to tank you that you that you have been and will pray for us. Haiti is a dark place and in a great need of love of God and freedom from all kinds of shackels that the enemy has bild there. We want to be spreading the light and the love of God to the Hatians (is that even a word) and share them how valueble and important they are!!

Prayer points:

  • safetiness
  • traveling (Sao Paulo-DR, DR-Haiti and Haiti- Sao Paulo)
  • hearing the voice of God
  • the financies would be enough
  • health

Thank you for your support.
