Haiti Missions Trip begins tomorrow! –  The Spencers and the Hubbards fly out in the wee hours of Wednesday morning to Miami, then Haiti. We’ll spend Wednesday afternoon sorting and prepping our medical and VBS supplies and head to the clinic first thing Thursday morning. We’ll have all day clinic hours Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday, with a ½ day on Tuesday morning. We’re prepped to address medical and dental issues for hopefully 800 patients and share God’s love with approximately 200 kids thru the VBS. Sunday we’ll be worshiping with our host church (clinic is actually held in the church) and have the afternoon free. We’ll fly home on Tuesday afternoon, arriving back in Greensboro around 11:30pm on Tuesday, the 8^th.

Lindsay, Chris, Victor and Susan would like to thank all of you for your donations, support, encouragement and prayers getting us this far and will appreciate your prayer covering for us, the team and the locals we will encounter. Allen (and then Pauline’s) word about taking back this land that God created for His purposes, struck a spiritual nerve and we’d especially appreciate prayer towards such a weighty endeavor. Our prayer request is that God uses our team’s sincere care for the people we are privileged to minister to this week to take back the corrupted land of Haiti for God’s glory.

You may not consider it, but each and every one of you is going to Haiti with us! Living Hope Church is touching the nations this week and we can’t wait to show this small part of the world that LHC is loving and praying for them.

If you’d like to keep up with our goings on – someone from the team will be posting regularly – follow this link:  https://www.prayingpelicanmissions.org/mission-trip-journals?tripid=9628
