We started the trip with a stop at Harvest International in Ocala, FL. We have been partnering with Harvest for previous shipments and they were ready to receive more items to ship to Haiti for us. This is a really great connection for us. Harvest International has missionaries in Haiti and has been shipping to Haiti for 20 years. They are a rich resource of information for us as we look at new ways to ship to Haiti for less cost. We are very blessed through this partnership.
Our next major stop was in Chicago, IL. The Macedonia Tabernacle Baptist Church ladies have been sewing for Haiti for 2 years but did not know how they were going to get the items into Haiti. Then one day, they found Haiti Care Mission on the internet and we became connected. We were thrilled to be able to stop and meet many members of the church. They treated us to a great lunch and time of fellowship. They produced over 500 dresses and collected many other items which we will take to Haiti to distribute.
We were very happy to spend several days in Wisconsin with family and friends before we moved on to Iowa to speak at several churches. We were eager to share how God is using Haiti Care and where He is taking this ministry. Each church blessed us with new items for the children and we were very humbled by their gracious reception of us. We made several new connections and even watched as God made connections within the churches through us.
Throughout the trip we had the privilege of seeing many friends, supporters, and family members. We were never short of people who treated us to a meal, took us on fun outings, or had a place for us to stay. We were blessed that every need was met in abundance. The girls were thrilled with the number of people who took time to talk to them about Haiti or spoil them with a little extra something. We are grateful for all of those who came out to meet with us and encourage us. We are honored to be in relationships with people and churches who see God’s vision for the nations and strive to be a part of it.
Overall, we traveled for 21 days, covered 4500 miles, spoke at 6 churches, and collected over 3000 new items for the children of Haiti. That is what we call a BLESSED trip.
