With great joy and anticipation we are off to LesCayes, Haiti again. St. Mark Mission Team is packed and ready to go. Team members are Leonard Lowe, Christa Repas, Mark and Jackie Rychel and David Toth. We plan to help our fellow Lutherans at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church and Orphanage in LesCayes and Ile-A-Vache, Haiti spiritually, medically, educationally and physically. Through sharing our faith, servicing a foot and ankle clinic, exchanging Christmas traditions with the children in creating greetings to bring back home and completing odd jobs around the orphanage, we pray the love of God will shine.
Our trip will begin Monday morning with a drive to the Detroit Airport then a 3 hour flight to Miami. We will overnight in Miami and fly to Port Au Prince Tuesday morning. We then transfer to a smaller airport in Port Au Prince and fly in a very small jet to LesCayes, arriving late afternoon.
We are packed to the max carrying such things as car parts, medical supplies, a solar panel, computers, christmas trees, clothes, shoes and personal items requested by those residing in Haiti. Thank you to all that donated, shopped, packed, participated in any way to the fundraisers and prayed for us! Please continue to do so.
I will try to blog daily as long as I have power to transmit. Please take a minute to respond. Click on "post a comment" in the lower left of the page. It is wonderful to get news from home!
We will return to the US December 8th and back to our homes December 9th.
