Prayer for Haiti Team June

We continue to prepare for the our Haiti trip on June 24th as we plan activities to serve youth and women at Valley of Hope Church in Bernard, Haiti.

Below are ways that you can help support our trip:

You can help in two ways:

1.  Prayer for our team as we seek to honor our Lord Jesus Christ in all we say and do.  Also pray for the spiritual challenges we know we will face, dealing with the extreme poverty that the vast majority of Haitians experience, the spiritual growth of the many new believers and the daily meeting of the people’s physical needs.

2.  Donate financial support for our team.   The donation deadline is May 27, 2011.  If you choose to assist us financially you may do so in the following way:

1. Donate online at westoverchurch.com : Go to online resources, then online giving and follow the prompts. Please put a note in the designation box for Haiti Team June.

Haiti Team June

Hi, everyone!  Haiti Team June excited to share with you an opportunity that we have to serve as part of Westover Church’s short-term mission team to Bernard, Haiti.  

Our team will partner with Pastor Maxeau Antoine, founder of Valley of Hope Church.  Pastor Maxeau also serves as the director of the New Directions International feeding program, Feed the Hunger.  This feeding program provides the only meal for 2,516 children daily in the Port-au-Prince area.  Our team will be working to build relationships with the church members and serving youth.

Our team members:  Susie Guhne, Kristine Guhne, Steve Miller, Mandy Melniczek & Amanda Bailess

Over the upcoming weeks, we will use this blog to share about our trip and ways you can support our team!

Home Safely

Our team made it home safely to Greensboro tonight after the decision to leave Haiti early because of the pending Hurricane scheduled to hit late this evening.  While we are certainly grateful that we were able to get home, our hearts are heavy for the friends we had to leave in Haiti.  Please pray for the people of Haiti; many of whom have nowhere to go for safety and have merely a tent for protection as the Hurricane approaches. 

We did not have continuous internet connection at our home in Haiti, so we were unable to maintain the blog.  We will update the blog with our many adventures and how God was able to use us in unexpected ways.

Sincerely,

Haiti Team #2
