We Made It!by Kyle Turner | December 21, 2015 8:22 PM
After several months of preparation, bags of luggage, and days of travel, we have all now arrived safely to Good Shepherd Orphanage here in Haiti! We are so excited to finally be here! Today we had an awesome day of ministry as we were able to decorate and put on a Christmas party for ASHCA, the handicapped orphanage. It was an amazing time of singing, dancing, eating, and laughing as were praised or Savior alongside 120 children with disabilities along with their families. We are looking forward to a week fun of blessings! Please check back for more great updates!

This morning we got to go door to door, praying with people and inviting them to church tonight. What a special time to share the Gospel with others during the week of Christmas!
Feeding Programby Bethany Richardson | December 23, 2015 9:31 AM
This afternoon we got to help with the feeding program and play with the community kids fit a few hours. These kids just enjoy being loved on and they are teaching us new lessons about true unconditional love. What a blessing.

Tonight we went to Bible study at church. Pastor Lucien taught about the real reason of Christmas and the promises of God. Here he is pictured with some other members of our big team.

We also had a chance to go to the maternity clinic and serve the women there with prayer, massages and a gift of new clothes for their child. We had a wonderful time!
Sun and Restby Bethany Richardson | December 24, 2015 7:09 PM
On Wednesday morning, we took some time to rest and enjoy some of Haiti's beauty! We spent the morning at the beach and it was so great. We had a lunch of paté poulet, which is a chicken Pattie and it was so great!

On Wednesday afternoon we decorated for a party here at the orphanage that was just for the kids and staff that lives and work here. We had so much fun decorating the rest of our big team!
GSO partyby Bethany Richardson | December 24, 2015 8:09 PM
Last night we had a blast celebrating with the staff and kids of Good Shepherd Orphanage at their party. We were able to serve them the food and entertain them with songs and singing. The kids loved getting a special moment in front of everyone to tell their story and get a gift from their director.

Christmas - wow! by Bethany Richardson | December 25, 2015 9:06 PM
Today was amazingly awesome.
There aren't many words to communicate all that was done and how we feel right now, but if we had to choose two it might be: overjoyed and exhausted.
We served kids all day at the party and had a blast serving food, water, juice and giving out a toy.
A Special Weekby Bethany Richardson | December 27, 2015 7:16 AM
To sum up the week, we feel blessed to have been in Haiti for Christmas. For most of us, this trip has been so powerful. From relationships within our team, to relationships with the Haitian and American staff, to the ministry we were a part of, the Lord was present in each piece.
Thank you for following along with us, here's to next time!
It's all for You, God.
