17 days AHHHH

I have so many hopes and dreams for Haiti. And in 17 days, I will be on my way to see them happening. After 2 days of traveling, including a 5 hour lay over in LA and then another 3 hour layover in Miami, we will arrive in Port-au-Prince, Haiti where we will then take a bus to the YWAM base in Saint Marc. For the first 2-3 weeks, we will be staying on base there doing whatever they need help with. We will also be going into the streets when we are not helping out and ministering to the people on the streets, praying for faith, healings, and miracles in the hearts of the Haitian people. After these first few weeks, we will be moving into the slums, living in tents.

There is so much that we want to do in such little time. I personally have had a desire to reach out to prostitutes and those who visit brothels. My heart breaks for them. We will also be working with orphans, and again my heart breaks. In the prisons, working with murderers, my heart will break again for them. Each time my heart breaks, God is going to fill the cracks with love for them.

I can't wait to show the orphans that they have a heavenly father who will never die on them, or leave them, or sell them so the rest of their family can have money for food. To the prostitutes that they have an eternal lover who LOVES them for THEM and not their body and that they are worth a life that died on a cross, not a man with 5 dollars in his pocket. To the drug lords that Jesus can be their drug, not a bag of white powder. To the witch doctors and voodooistic people that they do not need to sacrifice anything or be overcome with demons to be protected and saved, but Jesus was the perfect sacrifice.

It is going to be scary, but it is a demonic oppressed country. Voodoo is their religion. They think it is a GOOD thing to be possessed by a demon because they think that their family will be protected by the demon. Pray that our team is unified, that we build a force of love so strong that the demons will cower and run away, because they can't stand to be around us.

Man, i get excited just THINKING about going, I can't wait until I am finally there! At the end of November, something amazing is going to happen. My team is going with another school form YWAM, Fire and Fragrance. And they are planning a 200 hour burn at the capital. For 8 and half days leading up to the election for a new president, thousands of people will gather at the steps of the capital, and worship, pray, and fast.

My team is still in financial need. We need around 6,000 total for everyone to be able to go. If you can help in anyway, jsut let me know :)

Thank you again for all your support and prayers! It sounds cliche, but I really do feel honored to have all of you back home praying for me and my team. Believe it or not, your prayers are working :)
