My pastor, Matt Fry, leaves for Haiti today. He's traveling with other pastors to lay the groundwork for long-term help for Haiti. While the focus now is on clean-up and medical care, emergency food provision and security, soon, the nation of Haiti will need to rebuild. It's my prayer that the church will come together in unity, generously providing for this hurting nation.
Please join me in prayer for all the relief workers in Haiti. Pray for safe travel (my husband's team is traveling 10 hours by bus today to start working this evening), energy, strength to endure, and an ability to focus. Pray for the flights to and from Haiti to go smoothly, without delays. Pray for provisions to continue to arrive. The needs are far beyond what anyone on the island can provide.
Pastor Matt, we pray that your trip will be safe and productive. I pray you will have sustained energy to be the hands and feet of Jesus as you travel. May this trip be the beginning of wonderful friendships and partnerships in Haiti.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen (Eph. 3:20-21)

I forgot to add this: If you have a prayer for Haiti that you would like to share, please feel free to do so on this blog. We can join together in prayer!
Thank you for letting us share in Rob's trip. We will be praying for you, him, and pastor
Karen, Our daughter Shannon is on the team with your husband! We have been following your blog and we can't thank you enough for the pictures, updates, and uplifting words! I couldn't hold back the tears when I saw her and the team smiling in the DR with their red shirts on ready to go. She is so excited to get the chance to help. I am hoping to get some emails from her and I will be happy to forward them if anyone wants to send their address to sixbrookes@aol.com. Thanks again and we will keep the team and the people of Haiti in our prayers continuously. Janet Brooke
Janet, so nice to meet you by blog :). I love, love, love that a group of complete strangers - sharing nothing more than a passion to help the injured and hurting - can come together and become a "family" united in purpose. God's love flowing through them is a blessing, to them - as well as the people of Haiti.
God bless! and keep in touch!
We just arrived about 1/2 hour ago and are unpacking. We will begin working tomorrow after we meet with the current team. Thank you Karen for this blog and sharing our teams story. Thank you also for your encouragement in my coming on this mission. I love you! Rob Dawkins
