T - One Week!

In just one week, we will be saying bon voyage to these cold temperatures and starting our week in Haiti! This year's mission team includes participants from three states!  Greer Putnam, Jim Lofgren, Paul Swicord, Christine Payne, Diana Hoins, and Sarah Finger are all from Virginia; Jana Poppe and Richard Finger are from Minnesota; and Susan Gutjahr is from Texas!  The Virginia contingent, minus Christine, met today to pack eleven suitcases full of donations.  Thank you to everyone who has donated supplies and money.  We are humbled by the outpouring of support from all of you including our home congregation, St. John's Lutheran Church and ECEC in Alexandria, VA; the FCA at Yorktown High School; and Girl Scout Troop 1588 from McLean, VA.  Jana, Richard, and Susan will also be bringing donated supplies from their friends and congregations.

Please include our mission team in your prayers as we prepare for our trip!
