goodness, only 3 days left!

Yeah, you read that right. 3 days left until we leave. Thats it. Today we are going team shopping, getting typhoid shots, and malaria pills. Gonna be fun.

This week's speaker was Jake Hamilton, and he was unbelievable. He wrote the song that I posted a few weeks ago, The Anthem. Man, that guy is on FIRE for God. The whole class gets pumped just listening to him. He has an amazing relationship with God. He is an awesome song writer. And he has HUGE visions for Revival and Reformation of the church, especially in America. He was the perfect person to listen to before we leave for outreach. I can't even really say anymore, he was just so good. I could write for days about his lectures and how I feel about them. If you want to listen to him, which I highly suggest, go to www.awakendts.com and scroll to the bottom where the speaker list is. Some of his stuff is pretty convicting, but dead on.

I don't even know where to begin about how I feel about going to Haiti. Excited, nervous, expecting, don't know what to expect. They thoughts are all over the place. We know what we are doing up until the last 2 weeks, where we will figure it out along the way. We are not sure if we are going to have internet there or not, so there is a chance that I won't be able to update my blog while I am there. OUr team is amazing, though. The leaders are awesome and I really feel like we are just one big family. there are 18 total, so there are bound to be a few bumps along the way, but we all love each other as brothers and sisters.

We all have high hopes for Haiti. We expect to see a lot happen, good and bad. Please be praying for protection for us as we travel there. Pray that we all stay connect to God and each other. Pray that no sickness comes over us, especially since it is Malaria season.

Thank you so much, you guys, for all you have done for me and my team. I seriously can not convey how much I appreciate and love you all. I hope to talk to you all soon :)

  1. To my darling Kristi,

    Wow!! Haiti!! Here already!! I am so excited for you and so excited for God! He gets to minister to people through such an amazing woman and such an amazing group.

    As we say here at home church...May the Lord go before you to show you the way, Behind you to encourage you, Above you to protect, Beneath you to support you, Beside you to accompany you and Within you to guide you.

    Kristi - may you be completely open to what God will have you do and I pray that you (and your team) is totally under God's wing of protection from the evil one. That at the name of Jesus all circumstances will bow to Him.

    Love, love, love (I just can't say it enough!) LOVE YOU!!
