We're going back to Haiti!

Dear Friends and Family -

It seems like a day doesn't when we are not asked the question "When are you guys going to Haiti?"  Well today, we have some exciting news.  From March 26th-April 3rd we will be going to Haiti!  Immediately following the earthquake, although our hearts desired to go, we were instantly involved in communications for the Child Hope orphanage in the US.  I was obviously working on the Child Hope website/twitter/facebook and Alicia was hired to coordinate relief for Child Hope full time.  Thus, we were stuck in America.

The door has finally opened and we are extremely excited to be reunited with our friends in Haiti and serve alongside them.  Lucas plans to develop new content for the website (pictures/videos/new features) and also help with the computer related issues they are having there.  Alicia plans to meet with the staff in Haiti to develop a better system of communication as well as assess supply and project needs.

We are going with high hopes and bowed hearts as we anticipate encountering the reality of the massive devastation in a country we dearly love.  We are very excited to reconnect with and encourage our dear friends as well as the wonderful children.

We ask that you would pray with us for our trip and for God to guide us and direct our steps.  Please continue to pray for Haiti, the hard working staff at the orphanage and the children there.

Due to the short amount of time we have before we go, and since Lucas works for eDivvy and developed the cool little widget you see below - we have set up an event on eDivvy.com to raise funds for the trip.  If you feel so led, you can support us financially.  Your contributions are tax deductible.



Lucas
