I think I'm supposed to do this.

Ok, so I guess I'm going on blog overload now! hahaha. Since I don't want to annoy anyone I won't send this one to anyone's email.

I get email updates from my church. This last one I got has all the mission trips my church is going to be a part of this year and I feel like there is one I supposed to go on. I really think I could be useful. They are having a medical/dental clinic and since I am/used to be a dental assistant I really think it would be a great opportunity to put my knowledge to use for good.
Three things need to happen and one already has. My husband said it was ok if I went! That is fantastic, especially after he found out how much it is! ;) The next thing that needs to happen is opportunities need to open up locally to brush off my skill. I plan to volunteer, but I still need those doors to open for me to do this and I also need the extra energy for volunteering. The third thing that needs to happen is of course finances. This trip isn't until October so that does give me some time to work with to save. I want this to be a God thing though, I kinda feel that it is. IF this truly is, I think all I need to do is take those 1st steps. Start a separate missions account and put money in it. God will see to fill it by October. The other step is brushing off my good old resume and stepping into the dental clinic to see what their needs are. (Believe it or not, I actually work right across the street from the one on base. Could that in fact be a God thing?) Again, if this is a God thing then he is going before me to set up slot where I can work, learn and brush up on what I will need to know for this trip.

I hope we can be in agreement by prayer, if this is what I'm supposed to do, ( I believe that it is) then all of these things will fall into place.

PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI

October 16-22, 2011

Medical Clinic and House Construction

Partnering with Hillcrest Baptist Church

This is a dual purpose community outreach project that seeks to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of Haitians then direct them to our local partners in Haiti for follow-up and discipleship.

The project will be divided into two parts:

1) construction - we will have one or two construction teams that will either build single family homes or will work together to build / rebuild a church building;

2) medical/dental clinic - we will have a team of medical professionals that will host a medical/dental clinic in one of the neighborhoods  of Port-au-Prince.

Cost: $475 per person in country plus round-trip airline ticket (currently about $800 p/p)
