Hearts for Haiti Mission
Mission Team Prepares to Return to Haiti
January 6th to 14th, 2008


The First Trinity Haiti Mission Team is preparing to return to Haiti from January 6 through 14, 2008.  Our home base will be the First Lutheran Church of Les Cayes which includes a school and separate girls and boys orphanages.  The team is busy getting ready to:
 

  • Support those in ministry in the area

  • Share songs, activities and TLC with the children

  • Tackle projects on the facilities’ To Do List

  • Work with SEED ministries

  • Arrange assistance from a dental mission team from Grand Island, NY

  • Be available and flexible as other needs arise.

The 2008 team includes Tracy Bramwell, Jaime Christ, Dan & Renee Gietz, Ceci Huang, Amy & Dan Mahl, Anne Miller, Sue Steege, Kim Taylor, Pastor Allen Werk, and Pastor Chuck Whited.

We would like to thank all who supported our fund raising efforts at the Hearts for Haiti Craft Show in October and our Chiavetta’s Chicken Barbeque in December.  If you are looking for ways to participate in this mission trip from home you can:

  • Sign up or contact Kim Taylor to be a prayer partner for a mission team member.

  • Pray for the team as we prepare, travel, minister, and return.

  • Provide monetary support for team member expenses or project needs by noting Haiti Mission with your donation.

  • Donate needed supplies for mission trips and ongoing Sea Container Project.  Click here for full info on the sea container project
