We are here!

by Meghan Frezza | June 18, 2016 10:30 PM

We made it to Haiti! After a long day of traveling we were able to rest up! We can't wait to see how God is going to move through us and the people in Haiti this week!

We had a great morning experiencing our first Church service in Haiti! After, the pastors wife prepared us a famous Haitian dish, pumpkin soup!

First Day of Ministry

by Meghan Frezza | June 20, 2016 4:21 PM

We had a busy day! We started the morning with doing construction at Mariani. We passed buckets of rocks, water, and eventually cement. The Church is in the process of building two rooms upstairs. After construction we got to help out with VBS and have lunch! Later we went back to Good Shepherd Orphanage where we got to play with the kids. They loved playing games and playing with the balloons.

Day Two of Ministry

by Meghan Frezza | June 21, 2016 4:38 PM

We started off the day with construction again! We are making a lot of progress. Some of us got to do community outreach. We prayed for families and got to share the Gospel with the community. Three people came to know Christ. It was such a great experience to have. After lunch we headed back to Good Shepherd Orphanage and had time to be with the kids! We got to share Jesus with them and it was great getting to spend time with them. God is doing so many great things this week. We can't wait for our last day of ministry tomorrow!

Craft Time

We spent time teaching the kids what it meant to be the hands and feet of Christ. One boy wrote he uses his feet to play soccer for Christ. They loved getting to draw and color!

Last Day of Ministry

by Meghan Frezza | June 22, 2016 9:27 PM

It was a great day of ministry! We all worked so hard, always seeking out ways to serve. We continued to pass buckets of concrete up to the second floor of the church! We continued to do community outreach and got to give out about 10 Creole Bibles today! We prayed for so many people in the community. They were so open to us, ready to receive prayer. Later we had a chance to help out with VBS. We were so sad to leave Mariani today, but it was incredible to see how God blessed us and the community this week.

The kids at Mariani got their faces painted, which soon turned into them giving us tattoos. It was so much fun!

Beach Day

We enjoyed going to the beach today! We got fresh coconuts and they were delicious. It was so nice to relax and enjoy Haiti. Later we had lunch at Haiti Made Cafe and got to have pizza! We ended the night with worship and getting the chance to talk about the best parts of the trip. We can't wait to get home and share! God has blessed us all this week!

Hi Ladies love your pictures. Looks like you're having fun, doing the Lords work can be fun and joyous. I pray that you will form good work relationships during your mission trip. I pray that you fulfill the joy of these dear brothers and sisters, help them to be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in them, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:2-5). I pray in Jesus name, Amen. You all are awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Hello First Baptist Ladies. You all look well and happy. God has blessed you to be a Compassionate and Caring Spirit to help the less fortunate to achieve a better life and to know God. I, pray your travel is inspiring and gracious and lots of new friends made their in Haiti. We miss you. Derenda, did an excellent job with class on Sunday. We pray for your speedy and healthy recovery to Killeen. May God bless and keep you. Peace, love and blessings, Regina.

Hello ladies! Love seeing the pictures of what you're doing there. Praying that God blesses the children and adults that you are ministering to and that you are blessed and refreshed for giving of yourselves. Even though I am no longer in the ladies "Joy" class, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Praying for you and your families as you minister to others and share the love of God to those who so desperately need it. II Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Hello Barbara, Toni, Darla, Stephanie, & Graceila wonderful to see you all in the pics, seeing you serve! Love the pics, May your week continue to be filled with his presence upon you daily as you are involved in each task assigned and hearts be touched to commit their lives to Christ. Psalm 27:7-8 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Hugs, I can't wait to hear all about how God used each of you!
