Well, Thanks for Asking ......

... how you can support us as we prepare and throughout our year in Haiti.

"TEAM BUILDING" is at the top of that to-do list I mentioned in the last post. It includes a gathering of folks who want to be a part of what God has planned for the people of Haiti, supporters through prayer and supporters through finances.

#1 - BIG item - PRAYER!

We need a strong cadre of prayer warriors who will commit to pray for us on a regular basis. (In fact, we are expected to have at least 50 before taking off for the field.)  We will make our needs known to you and covet your lifting them to the Father in our behalf. Knowing the value of concerted prayer (James 5:16) we consider this item a biggie!  Please let us know if you are willing to intercede in our behalf for the next sixteen months.

You can do that in a couple different ways.  Go online to http://wesleyan.org/gp/mdirectory2/WM29-0081 and indicate at "faith" under our picture that you will commit to pray for us there.  Or,  simply indicate in the Comment Section below this blog and we will get in touch with you. Or send us an email or give a call. Thank you so much for prayerfully considering this.

#2 - Financial Support

Larry and I have agreed to provide for our living expenses while in Haiti, which will include international travel, rent, food, etc.

We will be raising support for the expansion of the English and computer skills program, which, Lord willing, will continue long after our year of involvement.

$  3,000      Student computers 12 @ $ 250 each      (We found a deal!)
$  1,000     Instructor computer                                 (Another one!)

$  1,000     Curricula, Bibles, dictionaries

That's it.  Thanks for considering being part of our team.
