<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #141417; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ligatures: none;">It has been another very eventful month for us at Haiti Care Mission and
we are ready for more. Interestingly, the month started with a trip to Haiti
and is ending with the packing for a trip to Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so grateful for these opportunities
and, although it can be very chaotic and crazy, we would not change it one bit
of this mission-filled life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ligatures: none;"></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first event of the
month was a short work trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lance and
Lemuel, a fine young man from our church, traveled to Haiti during the first
week of the month on a trip with a two prong purpose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first purpose was to update and rewire a
school/church compound in Arnoux.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
second purpose was to transport items into Haiti for our March trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very helpful for us to have an extra
opportunity to get more items into the country in order to increase the number
of “tools” that we can use during our trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

I am happy to report that their trip was successful on both fronts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were able to complete all of the
electrical work, which included moving wires from a tree, which was the current
electrical pole, to the building/generator shack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also ran wire to the new team building
on the compound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, they
transported over 400 items into the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We thank God for the protection over them while they worked and for
guiding them to complete all of the tasks before them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>

this month was the opening of a new shipping avenue for HCM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through a partnership with a Haitian pastor,
we were able ship over 600 items and a much needed portable generator into
Haiti in sea container.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This new
partnership will provide us with another great way to serve the children of
Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are confident that God will
take these items much farther than we could possibly do on our own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so grateful for this new
opportunities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been praying for
ways to serve more children and to reach further corners of Haiti so this is
the answer to this prayer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>

preparations for our trip in March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
will be leaving this week for our annual spring trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are looking forward to visiting<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>five new locations. It is always fun for us
to see more of Haiti as well as meet more of the precious Haitian people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will traveling for three days to remote
locations in the south.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to
the days of traveling, we will be spending several days working in Port au
Prince.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please pray for us next week as
we strive to take full advantage of every opportunity God places in our path.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #141417; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
has been a very busy month (or two) for Haiti Care Mission and we are extremely
grateful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For us, “busy” is not a term
which means “burden”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For us, “busy” is
a term which means “fruitful”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has
been working hard for HCM and we are feeling so blessed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">

<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: #141417; mso-ligatures: none;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since our last trip in November, we have
had an active schedule of presenting to groups and making new contacts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Lord has brought us many new
relationships and connections to HCM through past presentations but mostly
through the word of mouth of our current sewing groups and friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: #141417; mso-ligatures: none;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Early in January, we had the opportunity
to share HCM with the students and staff of Venice Christian School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spoke at the weekly chapel services on
campus and invited the students to bring in backpacks for Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do not have a final count yet on the
number of backpacks that they collected but based on the fun and interesting
conversations that followed the services, I am convinced there will be an
abundant supply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a privilege to
be able to share our love for Haiti with our school family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

we had a very special speaking engagement at our home church, New Life Church
in Venice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the days following our
presentation, we are experiencing a tremendous response from our church family.
We can already see how God is going to use this church body to help us to serve
the children of Haiti. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

share what God has birthed in our hearts for the country of Haiti, but when we
see others take hold of this same vision, we get encouraged even more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This month produced more dynamic connections
but it should suffice to say that God is making connections that we never
expected and are extremely grateful for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

“busy” this month is the planning for two more trips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Early in February, Lance and one of our team
members from November will be returning to Haiti to complete an electrical
project at a countryside church/school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They will work for several days in Arnoux as well as transport several
hundred items to be distributed on our next HCM trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will all travel to Haiti in March to
minister to the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The exact
locations are not yet determined but we know we will be directed by God as to
where He wants us to go.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

items and you would like us to include them on the next trip, please send the
items to Florida as soon as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
takes us a week or two to get everything processed and packed before trip, so
please send the items soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

working through a unique new connection in Haiti. We met Pastor Carlos during
our last trip and he has offered to help us explore new avenues of shipping
items to Haiti. We are going do a trial shipment with him later this month, and
the potential for greater quantities of items is huge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are really looking forward to seeing how
God uses this new relationship to serve His children. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month we have the joy
of reporting to you about a very successful trip last month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have just returned from a 9 day trip to
Haiti and the only word to really describe the trip is “successful”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This trip included new elements for
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the first time we took a
team to serve with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a
combination trip between New Life Church of Venice, FL, Evangelistic World
Outreach (EWO) of Haiti, and Haiti Care Mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great joy to combine the strengths
of each of these ministries.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

purpose of the trip was to build a roof for a church, complete office tasks for
EWO and to distribute HCM items to the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very exciting to tell you that all of
those purposes were accomplished and MORE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we arrived on Saturday, the men on
the team headed directly to the mountain area of Lake Mirogaine where they
spent 5 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first day they
participated in a Bible school graduation ceremony for the EWO Bible
students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a significant<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>time as new pastors were being commissioned
to go out in their home land and share the Gospel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day, they had the honor of
ministering at the church services at a church in Arnoux.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bright and early on Monday morning, they
headed to Caiman to begin the construction on the roof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The initial thought was that the project
would take about 3 days to complete, but the men worked very hard and completed
the roof in just two days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This left
them with extra time, so they spent one day constructing a roof for a chicken
house for the church in Arnoux.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
chicken house will house approximately 1000 chickens and will help produce an
income for the church.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

we did not hesitate to give them some more odd jobs at the EWO compound and
they completed each of them with excellence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These men really gave 100% in serving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are very proud of all that they accomplished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They truly proved to be the hands and feet of
Christ in their work and in the love that they shared with their Haitian
coworkers and new friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

the ladies (both big and small) stayed in Port au Prince.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the tasks we completed was office work
at the EWO headquarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The team was
able to assemble 6300 Bible booklets for their chapel program, create visual
aids for the teachers and help with organizing supplies at the EWO
headquarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a privilege to be
able to complete simple tasks that will enhance the learning of the students and
ease some of the work load for the EWO staff. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another major portion of the trip was
dedicated to doing the work of Haiti Care Mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While in Haiti, the ladies had three
opportunities to minister to the children and distribute gifts of love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited three schools and met with over
900 students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all, HCM supplied over
1500 items for the children.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At each school, we sang with the kids,
shared a Bible lesson with them and gave them a gift to remember how much Jesus
loves them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students were very
grateful and in each class one student came to the front to offer a prayer over
us and express their thanks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
touching to think about the fact that we went to Haiti to bless them and they
were very eager to bless us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One little
girl even went out to the vendor on the street during her recess<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and purchased candy sticks to bring to
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was extraordinary to see the
gratitude that they showed and the love they gave back to us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="mso-armenian-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-color-ext: 134217732; mso-color-extmod: 270139892;"><span style="color: black; mso-ligatures: none; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to gifts of backpacks, shorts,
cars and dresses, we also distributed hundreds of salvation bracelets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A salvation bracelet is a witnessing tool
that can be used to share the Gospel with a simple illustration of colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we talked to the children about their
unsaved friends, they were excited to have a tool that they could use to share
the Gospel with their friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we
gave the bracelets to the students, I(Lynn) received a revelation of what is
going to happen as each one of those students shared with the Gospel with their
friends. I can only imagine how many new Christians are getting their names
written in the book of life through those bracelets and message they
carry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a powerful moment for me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

opportunity to share the Gospel and share the love of Jesus with these precious
students, but we know that none of it could have been done without you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are the hands and feet of Christ as you
make these items and give financially into this ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have not been on the ground in Haiti
but you were there with us through the many sacrifices you have made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In essence, you were on this team as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

is only one word to describe this trip...successful.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a very successful trip in the number of things that were accomplished
but most of all because of the way God used this team to bring His love to
Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very grateful for this
team and we are very grateful to be able to serve in the country we
love….Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

He told us, “The lesson you taught them today and what you did for them today will never be forgotten by these children.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very humbling to hear his words of gratitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We feel blessed to have opportunities like this. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lance shared the Gospel message to the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After service, we were able to distribute items to the children and not one child went home empty handed. We are always fascinated with how God plans for our trips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do our best to make predictions about the number of items to take to each location, but God has it perfectly coordinated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knows the exact number of items needed and how many children will be present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is the best planner of all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is a wonderful cross of cultures and diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was a day full of vision sharing and organizing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a wonderful time learning about her group and how they are working to help us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the way God connected us together is any indication of the great things that will come from this partnership, then we are expecting big things from this group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This group is from Asheville, North Carolina and would love to meet anyone from the area that is interested in joining them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would be happy to pass on their information if you are in that area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was encouraging to see the cross generational ministry of this group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were 3 generations represented and the greatest part was that they all share the same dedication to helping others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The girls in Haiti will be blessed through the fruit of these women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They plan to make 100 dresses for us and we are honored to bring those into Haiti on their behalf.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One day near Christmas, this missionary and his family took the sleeping mats to a local school and distributed them as a Christmas gift in the name of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He reports that the mats were very well received and greatly appreciated by the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This missionary and the children expressed their deepest thanks to the sewing groups and donors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

From Haiti Care Mission</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: 7.199pt;">
<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT"; font-size: 10pt; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">As 2012 comes to a close, it is quite exciting to see what the Lord has done through Haiti Care Mission in the past twelve months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been a year of abundant blessings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: 7.199pt;">
<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT"; font-size: 10pt; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">This year, the ministry has made three trips to Haiti to share the love of Jesus with children and to serve alongside partner missionaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During each of those trips, we personally ministered to children with the love of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have had wonderful opportunities to reach out to churches, schools and villages with Christ’s love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: 7.199pt;">
<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT"; font-size: 10pt; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">In 2012, Haiti Care Mission has delivered over 13,000 items to children around the globe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very excited about that number. That number represents 13,000 lives touched for Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To us, that number is an indication of how God is using Haiti Care Mission to comfort His children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We feel very honored and blessed to be part of God’s work in Haiti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: 7.199pt;">
<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT"; font-size: 10pt; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">In addition to Haiti, HCM items have gone to seven different countries in 2012. The main focus of HCM is to serve the children of Haiti but when opportunities arise to share the love of Jesus in other countries, we proudly link arms with teams or missionaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has made some amazing connections for us this year and we are grateful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: 7.199pt;">
<span lang="en-US" style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT"; font-size: 10pt; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">As we close the books on 2012, we are extremely humbled by the outpouring of support that we have received through new churches and individuals that have joined our team and the number of new sewing groups that have come along to serve with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without the hard work and labors of MANY, Haiti Care Mission would not be an effective tool that God can use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

They went on door to door medical/evangelism visits, they helped lead evening worship services, they worked with the local church members to build a church and they distributed dresses and clothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a wonderful opportunity for all and a great chance to share the love of Jesus with the children of Guatemala.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lance said that the children and parents were very grateful for the gifts of love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

We have been greatly influenced by the work they are doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lance felt a very strong call to return to Haiti this fall to help them with this project, and he was very blessed to have the helping hands of Pastor Troy alongside him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the trip, the men brought several hundred items into the country, which we will distribute when we return to Haiti this month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We will be bringing over 1400 items to distribute to the children. Due to the recent storms, we are not sure which areas we will be traveling to but we know we are willing to go wherever God directs us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our prayer is that God will lead us to the places where He needs us to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The needs of the people of Haiti just became more intense so we pray the timing of our visit will bring hope and comfort to those we can reach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The pictures in the media tell the story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The storm has caused a lot of damage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people in the south were the most affected. There are many who lost their crops (that is, their only source of income and food for their families) and some have lost their homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The flooding has caused major problems with travel and getting help to the areas that need it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The country will be entering another period of rebuilding and repairing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please join us in praying for the people of Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pray that God will fill them with hope, strength and joy as they face this challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

This month we decided to combine our family newsletter with the Fall edition of the Haiti Care Mission newsletter. We hope you enjoy reading about all that is happening.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the past three months, God has been using Haiti Care Mission to pass the message of Jesus’ love to LOTS of children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we sat back to reflect over the past few months, we were really amazed to see the number of items that have been received and shipped recently to the children of Haiti and beyond.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the July newsletter, we challenged sewing groups to consider making a few new items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very pleased to report that boys shorts, backpacks and large-sized dresses are coming to the mission in large numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Several groups have been working on these items and we are really excited about beginning to distribute these new items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We already have missionaries who are asking for the items so we know they will be well received.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you to each group that took on the challenge and started working on these new projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In total, over the past three months, we have received over 4500 items at the mission headquarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over seven hundred backpacks (both hand-made and custom ordered) have been shipped to us, and are now in the hands of Haitian school children. They will be a huge blessing to the students as they start their school year and a daily reminder of God’s love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also received hundreds of boys shorts, large-sized dresses, sleeping mats and hand made wooden toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very blessed to have a constant supply of boxes being delivered to our front door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every box we receive<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ignites our heart because we know that each item holds the opportunity to share the love of Jesus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we looked over the number of items we received, we thought it was also important to report the number of items that have been placed in the hands of children in Haiti and beyond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the past three months, Haiti Care Mission has shipped 4700 items to children all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

We had plans to update our supporters and share our stories from Haiti, but we were not prepared to be blessed as much as we were. </span><span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;">Everywhere we went, we were showered with love, gifts and blessings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is hard to believe another month has passed by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been very busy this month with many activities both as a family and in the ministry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have spent a lot of time this month preparing for our trip to the Midwest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have several stops to make on the way so we are working to coordinate all of the details. We will start the trip by dropping off several hundred dresses with a ministry in northern FL that is filling a container for Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And on another part of the trip, we will be sending diapers to West Virginia to be loaded in a container for another ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part of these partnerships is that they take the items and ship them for free for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are amazing partnerships from God and we are blessed to be in a relationship with these organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very excited that we will be picking up close to 2000 items for the mission during the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sewing groups in Iowa and Illinois have been waiting for us to come and receive these items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are really looking forward to meeting these hard working groups and thanking them in person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Between packing and planning, we have been busy preparing a dress sizing guide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During our trip in April, we realized that we had a very inadequate method of sizing the dresses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we were in the field trying to distribute the dresses, it was hard to organize the dresses and distribute them efficiently, so we have developed a much simpler method of sizing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope this will make the distribution easier for the missionaries and for ourselves when we are back in Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

They took it very seriously and I got soaked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a very fun and eventful week. Praise God!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This month we have been working hard to process all the new information we received during our trip to Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We learned so much and we are spending time finding the best way to meet some of the new needs that were shared with us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the new needs is that of shorts for boys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While it was wonderful to give dresses to the little girls and share with them,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was very hard to see the boys and not have much to give them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did share some candy and stuffed animals with them so no one went home empty handed but it was made evident to us that there are needs for boys shorts as well as dresses for the girls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took down a few pairs of homemade shorts for the boys to check for proper sizes and styles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the future we want to be able to bring something significant for every child, so we are now starting to open up the sewing groups to start making boys shorts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The boys shorts will mainly be for play since they wear pants to school and church, so the style needs to be relaxed and comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anything that resembles a type of athletic short will work well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are interested in making boys shorts let us know so we can have an idea of how many are being made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also found that we have a need for dresses in larger sizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pillowcase dresses are a good fit for most school children, but, in Haiti, some children start school later than 5 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, when they reach 6th grade they can be as old as 15 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need dresses that will fit young women, not just the school girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The girls in the schools and churches we visited were very happy to receive the new dresses we had for them but some will be wearing them as long-style shirts instead of dresses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were happy to receive the items but next time we want to be able to give them something they will be able to feel comfortable wearing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The third need that was revealed to us was a need for drawstring backpacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With school starting in the fall, we received a request from one missionary for 600 backpacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really hope we can find some sewing groups that would take on this project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The children need something very simple to take their things back and forth to school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do not carry much to school but it would be great to share the love of Jesus with them in a very practical and tangible item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you would like to take on this project, please give us a call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would really love to see each child at this school receive a backpack to start their school year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the growth of Haiti Care Mission, we expect to see changes in the needs on a regular basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is our desire to meet the needs in whatever way we can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are interested in helping make these new items, please give us a call so we can give you more specifics. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This month has been amazing for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent the first part of the month preparing our luggage, our itinerary and our hearts for our first family trip to Haiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We prayed, packed and planned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every moment of preparation paid off as we experienced a very blessed and productive trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the time we arrived in Port au Prince to the minute we left, we submitted ourselves to God’s plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our main objective of the trip was to bring in Haiti Care Mission items and share the love of Jesus with the children of Haiti, but God had plans to bless us as much as we could<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bless others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our hosts, Rev. Tom and Bev Brumbley and Pastor Lamartine and Patricia Liberus gave us several opportunities to do just what we planned to do. We traveled to 5 churches/schools in their ministries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a huge blessing to distribute the items to the children and tell them that Jesus loves them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They helped us learn a little Creole and translated for us so we could communicate with the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was wonderful to see the joy on their faces when they received a dress, toy, pair of shorts or candy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were very grateful and we shared many smiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 2pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During our trip we traveled extensively throughout Port au Prince and surrounding areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to Ti Goave, Meyer, Fort Parisen, Fort Dieu, Las Cahobas and Fort Jacques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we traveled, we saw the beautiful countryside, the in town traffic, the enormous amounts of people, and the devastating poverty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We feel blessed to have had wonderful hosts who patiently answered all our questions and gave us feedback about our mission and how we can serve more effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to focusing on Haiti Care distribution, we also were able to help with a few small projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We helped to deliver a generator to a brush arbor church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be the first time the church and pastor’s house will have any source of power. Lance loved the opportunity to work with a “man toy”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also helped on Saturday to get the construction team started on pouring a floor of the new kitchen at the EWO headquarters school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the earthquake, a small car-port has been the school kitchen and the children have been eating in the classrooms or play yard. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #000010; language: EN; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-char-tracking: 112%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Sunday, we traveled to a church in the mountains where Lance had the privilege of sharing from God’s Word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an honor to speak to the church. They are a very faithful group of believers and they have endured so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our prayer is that they will continue to walk in faith and share their hope with others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Early in March, we decided that it was time for us to make a trip to Haiti as a family to build connections, bring items to the children and investigate new shipping avenues.</div><div><br /> Now, the plans are set and our trip is all scheduled. Here is a snapshot of what we will be doing. We will be in Haiti for 6 days at the end of April. We will be staying with two different missionary friends in Port au Prince. One missionary will be taking us to two of their schools to distribute dresses and meet the children. The other missionary will be taking us to the villages near his home/church to share the love of Jesus with the children we meet. We will also meet with the families after church to fellowship with them.</div><div> </div><div>We are very excited about this trip. This trip will be the first time to Haiti for Lynn and the girls. We are eager to visit the country and the people we have a God-given love for. The girls have been working to find stuffed animals, toys and books that they would like to bring for the Haitian children. Their hearts are bursting with joy as they look forward to “blessing” the children as they have been blessed by so many generous people. We are very anxious to get our feet on the ground and see how God is working in Haiti.</div><div><br /> As we prepare for this trip, there are many details to consider and Lance has been working diligently to make sure that everything is covered. He is a great planner and leader. Since he has taken several teams in the past, we are confident that he will have everything well planned.<br /> We are preparing to take over 700 items in with us to distribute. It will be a very rewarding experience to see the hard work of the sewing ladies, the tireless work of the ironing teams, and the difficult task of planning/packing come together in a moment of sharing the love of Jesus with the children of Haiti. Please pray for us as we travel.<br /><br />Update from the past- Many of you that have been reading our newsletters in the past may remember the story of how Lance helped to get an Army truck over to Les Cayes, Haiti for a missionary friend. This month we received pictures of the truck being used in Haiti(see back page) and an open invitation for Lance to come drive it. Unfortunately, we will not get to Les Cayes this time but hopefully on our next trip we will.<br /><br />Praises and prayer request</div><div><br />Praise God for His provision and guidance. Through divine connections we have processed all 5000 dresses from Atlanta and they are on their way to the children.<br /><br />Praise the Lord for helping hands who are sewing and ironing for Haiti Care. They are a blessing to us and the children of Haiti.<br />Please pray for us to hear God’s voice as we lead. We do not want to be one step ahead or one step behind where God wants Haiti Care Mission to be.<br /><br />Please pray for us as we travel to Haiti at the end of April. Pray for travel mercies, divine health and favor as we travel. Also pray for our hearts to be prepared for the opportunities God brings us.<br /><br />Please pray for Haiti Care Mission. Pray for God’s protection and provision to continue.<br /><br />Thank you for your faithful prayers. We appreciate you. <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728078839713421906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwEnAPpM7QGVR8r8Vl-IgGX9ZVrNps-7u4gGrHqG1rAKoTFllspcGSl2O6N7XMO6Kn3b7JPlkDV7jQs3FF50BjsRrmrPwgJ9GkPAFT_P8OgwBB-SsxMpkKVG6UXjDQSoxFmuQhjNoyzw/s320/P2200012.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728029476995613778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvAkaB0-PJCuL5N4JVsW6Yqw8XWWqV-SkmlFkJ_-snTOKtAJq8UlZ15QNJWkCqx355d6K2muu-CWEqr7aMjsQB0kt5uIrOSXW5YaTVE2hDTfd-8cRBIzLOxObmdN2bwXZfQ8hOn7REA/s320/IMG_20120214_164928.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div>Lynn Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16131190626160730400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512806274681972255.post-17885301964559201832012-03-03T12:16:00.005-06:002012-03-03T12:41:09.349-06:00March prayer request/praisesFebruary was a very busy month for us. We were blessed by many visitors and had the help of many work groups. We were very productive on preparing many, many items for delivery. Thank you to all the workers who helped lend a hand last month. We are very grateful for your service.<br />It was also a very busy month for making connections. This month God brought us into many new relationships and partnerships for Haiti Care Mission. We have secured new avenues of shipping and made several new missionary connections. We prepared and send several shipments. The total number of items we have sent to the mission field is 3000+ items in 2012. We are so excited because we feel like this is just the beginning. There is so much more yet to come.<br /><br />Thank you for partnerning with us and for praying for us. We are very thankful for all the prayer lifted on our behalf.<br /><br />Praise God for the way He takes care of all of our needs. He is working mightily to provide for our medical expenses.<br />Praise the Lord for the wonderful servants who helped us this month. They have blessed us immensely.<br />Praise God for new connections and relationships. Every relationship is helping lift Haiti Care to a new level of reaching people for Christ.<br />Please pray for our family as we continue to serve. Pray for wisdom and favor as we take this mission into new relationships and stretch to meet more needs.<br />Please remember the children of Haiti in your prayers. Pray that God will meet every physical, emotional and spiritual need.<br />Please pray for walls of protection around Haiti Care Mission. The enemy would like to stop our efforts but we know our God is bigger.<br /><br />Here are a few picts of last months fun work groups and items being distributed by our missionary partners.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715739450283185554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghsHfVbWzLRL7Xl7rPRSe25P9sYZLiVRJ4adg6C9b0x4KcGVsq95yflWKKdeT52RReO1-PdjwquplU0rpkDHdO8Xy6CGxc_NdoJUcrZh1yG1vxALBCj85HVpvQd9y_a8dTiJyuawWavA/s320/100_1038.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 321px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715739456700462002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJV7Q1wEFgiH_w_v4wyfKm13UuxWzR0hNkULYucDCgDGzvsc03_JVSfgV_haWNbp6-VfdifyP059V6l58oHttxcXOoYpSjT9hRm0K4vKS14zTrR67XBmNSBJ34Ar9GOp7r3rPyotMOw/s320/IMG4123-M.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715739473688092274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsaseNldfkeFMcKfrGNg5CT_hqGRKYqhq6mZa_kLaVdRQOcIOW7TwIOpp5EKLywhdRrd5VElOWKiAwZh5-JBpoX5U37Wn7FODp9Z-ktYoB9CmWeTB0VB-DFRYaaTi2m7kPSm3KJfXOA/s320/P2210010.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715739468173242850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU8HxVSL0YL78AfKJ5W5WQVDTXKjcsaCr3oq7z8q2wjQyJ60ctonglG_Km_WGuxhyphenhyphenfPXOad0jTMvY4HkVSiKHtxkldG_viVrzl2fE4yRn-Q9YCvvCGdyG5ruJmR3DjqaAdzuhKrgi-Q/s320/P2210013.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 203px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715739458381894482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKo_Vv7_bI4sZULFNoETuDI83f_AmBgfnfcsWArBuagHLm16VSTjCgD1IWCp5OIL04-EeS_0j7VGRvrIxa3kd_VLP7qIFRxT6Qs8W-npKPc-hBAmFVhydWswzgES3rb2my52CH4G_Ww/s320/10.jpg" />Lynn Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16131190626160730400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512806274681972255.post-3593562783288649932012-02-05T18:47:00.007-06:002012-02-05T18:55:13.904-06:00February Updates and prayer requestsHello All,<br />Last month was very busy starting off the new year and we are blessed to see all the ways God is making connections for us.<br />Here is what we have been up to....<br /> January has been a month of divine connections for us and Haiti Care Mission. God has brought some amazing connections into our path lately and it is really exciting to see how He is directing our steps.<br /> Over the last month, we have had several opportunities to share about Haiti Care Mission within our daily lives. We have met people at church, at garage sales and via phone calls. Each connection is a relationship brought together by the Lord.<br /> Over the weekend, while we were shopping at some garage sales, people heard us talking Haiti and how we could use some luggage to carry items into the country. As we told them more about Haiti Care, they donated their luggage to help us out. This happened over and over. Who knew God even uses garage sales to do His business?<br /> Earlier this month, we heard from several ladies from our church in Iowa who have called to let us know they have begun sewing for Haiti Care. We also have been informed by several ladies in our home church in Florida that they are sewing for us as well. We are honored to link arms with our churches and blessed to know they are investing in Kingdom work with us.<br /> Each connection and each interaction is an opportunity to bring more people into awareness of this mission and what God is doing for the children of Haiti. We are blessed to see more people get involved and there is more work to be done. Thank God for His amazing connections.<br /><br />Praises and Prayer requests <br />Praise God for the connections He is making for us. He is constantly bringing us into new relationships which are building up Haiti Care Mission.<br /><br />Praise the Lord for His provision and protection. He is constantly showing ways that He is taking care of us.<br /><br />Please join us as we pray for all the missionaries we serve. They have left the comforts of home to follow God’s call. Please pray for protection over their lives.<br /><br />Please pray for our family as we serve. We are always being stretched and we are grateful that God loves us enough to keep us growing. Pray that our hearts will stay open to how God is leading us.<br /><br />Please pray for the financial needs of Haiti Care Mission. We need operating expenses to send the many items we have in stock over to the children. <br /><br />Thank you for the prayers lifted to the King on our behalf. We would love to pray for you as well. Please send us your prayer request so we can be praying for you.<br /><br />Here are some pictures of sleeping mats being distributed...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TT4W21IsHIeWVCniT-KVjfjLTlg5-sjvj-P8-8NQThOpZJdtn4pX90MfucKRyYbNAe7cyRgt71obYT-RdYlfpSWDIrtVe8qZyZEgePT3rARt1PVWzBIL8-sl4JrvZ7kRaNxNSe3ysQ/s1600/linda+stapleton4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TT4W21IsHIeWVCniT-KVjfjLTlg5-sjvj-P8-8NQThOpZJdtn4pX90MfucKRyYbNAe7cyRgt71obYT-RdYlfpSWDIrtVe8qZyZEgePT3rARt1PVWzBIL8-sl4JrvZ7kRaNxNSe3ysQ/s320/linda+stapleton4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705819045489697218" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPWsh0kP_w5Rh98JEFwTiby5PMCceyHhEWSCA9kHuLGrOVYyU_1R2-t_sm_z0A6LfnWuEYi7GSRVeirRAUeOcolK84wDkbpIm6Zs3Mwh819Xb_l4L_UOQWkwru3sJ6hQunUW5WU9i1w/s1600/linda+stapleton2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPWsh0kP_w5Rh98JEFwTiby5PMCceyHhEWSCA9kHuLGrOVYyU_1R2-t_sm_z0A6LfnWuEYi7GSRVeirRAUeOcolK84wDkbpIm6Zs3Mwh819Xb_l4L_UOQWkwru3sJ6hQunUW5WU9i1w/s320/linda+stapleton2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705818955922892466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lrmtcSROUG9-3QRJS1XSOMqlCRnYwcMn01rl5PxXpr78JvaqEik3Roub2RYbchD4uoqcN1D5rybS514aQLlzEN335p6geyhbV2FjMoJ1Sqq_gLkqvi5gh1t8PMIu-VaOVdMF4FzcQw/s1600/linda+stapleton7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lrmtcSROUG9-3QRJS1XSOMqlCRnYwcMn01rl5PxXpr78JvaqEik3Roub2RYbchD4uoqcN1D5rybS514aQLlzEN335p6geyhbV2FjMoJ1Sqq_gLkqvi5gh1t8PMIu-VaOVdMF4FzcQw/s320/linda+stapleton7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705818859195362242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjql1o_2vM0sJcaG2Owyu98ou5uAbS7mrUJyeBElqd_VWxAGu-e_qaWH4Yv0CANRysnVjPFq9cGoUuWQRI0VoEbeVh99RE9j4wmC4iEfOHktcn_lg-Hp3X6743dkTlIQJG9sqTxDOFEEw/s1600/linda+stapleton.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjql1o_2vM0sJcaG2Owyu98ou5uAbS7mrUJyeBElqd_VWxAGu-e_qaWH4Yv0CANRysnVjPFq9cGoUuWQRI0VoEbeVh99RE9j4wmC4iEfOHktcn_lg-Hp3X6743dkTlIQJG9sqTxDOFEEw/s320/linda+stapleton.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705818749693268738" /></a><br /><br />(Even the gardener wanted a sleeping mat in the third pict)<br /><br />Thanks for following our adventures. <br />Living victoriously in Christ, Lynn for the Anderson ministry teamLynn Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16131190626160730400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512806274681972255.post-89852698809726614312012-01-09T10:32:00.003-06:002012-01-09T10:36:01.114-06:00Looking back and looking ahead<span style="font-size:130%;">The lessons we have learned in 2011
<br /></span>As 2011 comes to a close, we are awed at God’s faithfulness in our lives. From January to December, we have seen His hands at work in our lives and in the ministry He has called us to. This year has been filled with trials and triumphs, times of great joy and times of sadness, but through it all, God has captured our hearts and drawn us closer to Him. With every trial and every victory, there have been lessons to learn.
<br />
<br />Our first lesson of faith this year was our transition from Agape Flights to Haiti Care Mission. We know without a doubt that God has orchestrated every step of this change. His divine timing placed key people in our lives at critical moments. Unexpected visits and unforeseen connections filled us with wisdom and insight. He directed every interaction and every appointment which lead us to know what He was calling us to do. He proved to us once again that He has a plan for us and He is leading the way before we even know where He is calling us.
<br />Our second lesson of faith has been the launching of Haiti Care Mission. When we assumed the leadership of Haiti Care Mission, we were given very little resources and limited information on how things were previously organized. With God’s leading, we are in the process of reorganizing and redefining how the mission operates. When we feel we are inadequate for such a task, God gently reminds us that He is the real director and we are only His servants. He has been giving us insight and wisdom for every step of the way. We are constantly reminded of how God is using our previous contacts and experiences in Haiti to propel this mission forward. The lesson of trusting Him and His ways is one we are reminded of daily.
<br />
<br />Our third lesson of faith has been one of trusting God with our health and healing. In mid-December, we experienced our first health crisis. Lance was hospitalized with complications of a bowel obstruction. After corrective surgery, he is recuperating well. Long days in the hospital and separation from our girls have made us dependent on the care of others but God took care of EVERYTHING.
<br />
<br />We know God has provided for our every need. We trust God for complete healing of Lance’s body. We have felt His strength when we felt we could not go another minute. He has covered us with a peace that transcends all understanding. And most importantly, He has taken care of our girls.
<br />
<br />Loving caregivers have showered the girls with attention and patience. It is really overwhelming when I think about how many times, while I was trying to plan the next day’s activities for the girls that someone would call and offer to take care of them before I even had to ask. Knowing that God coordinated every person and every call brought us unconceivable
<br />peace. We are humbled by the kindness of others and the love of our great God.
<br />
<br />Yes, we have learned many lessons this year and we are constantly being stretched to learn more. Even though we may not know why or how things happen, we know God goes before us and is with us. He has never forsaken us or left us. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
<br />
<br />We are grateful to that He never stops teaching us and using us. As you step into the New Year, we pray that you will be open to the lessons He has for you. In the midst of trials, joy, and frustrations, He is there. He will never leave your side and He will gently take you through the storms, if you lean on Him.

<br />
<br />Praise the Lord for His healing promises and the way He is healing Lance’s body.
<br />
<br />Praise the Father for the work of many helping hands who are serving with us on the Haiti Care Mission projects. Even though we have just begun, we have volunteers already starting new sewing groups and ironing for the mission.
<br />
<br />Please join us as we pray for divine health and protection for our bodies as we serve Him.
<br />
<br />Please pray for our financial needs. We had a great response to the transition but we are still behind on our monthly budget.
<br />
<br />Please pray for the people of Haiti. While we celebrated Christmas with all the extravagant gifts and spending of the season, they still live with very little. Pray that God would meet all their needs according to His glorious riches.
<br />
<br />Thank you for all your faithful prayers. We are blessed through the relationships we have with you.</span></span>
