Next Saturday, February 19, members and friends of St. John's will again be traveling to Haiti. This year's trip includes returning St. John's travelers Greer Putnam (our leader), Jim Lofgren, Paul Swicord, Tom & Liz DeMik, and Sarah Finger. Joining us this year are fellow St. John's members Brian Hoins and Mark Guilfoil, as well as Sarah's dad, Richard Finger from Lewiston, MN; Reverand Stephen DeMik (son of Tom and Liz), Wil Schultz, and Dave Steele from Houston, TX; and Terry and Christian Markwart from McLean, VA. We are excited to have them with us!
Those of us in VA met tonight to pack our suitcases of donated items. Nails, bar soap, diapers, toothpaste, exam gloves, and other items filled about 20 suitcases that will be also be left in Haiti. These suitcases become "dressers" for the Haitians to store their belongings.
Thanks you to everyone for your continued support and prayers. We will update as soon as possible once we arrive in Haiti!
Yeah! So excited for all of you! Keep us posted on how things are!
ReplyDeleteSarah - make sure to give those kiddies hugs for me!
Imagine you are all gathered at airport this early a.m. Hope the lines are not too long and smooth sailing into Port au Prince. Will continue to pray for you and the team on this mission of mercy. Say hello to Jorel and Debbie. Marni's working on fundraiser. Reading stories about Haiti's presidential candidates. Will there be leg wrestling re-match?
