This month has been a very busy month for us in building more new partnerships. God has opened doors for us with local partnerships and around the US. It has been a real pleasure to meet with new sewing groups and new churches.
We greatly appreciate all of these new partnerships and look forward to the fruit that will be produced as we link arms. One of the best aspects of ministry for us is that we get to build relationships with our groups in the US, as well as build relationships in the field. It is a wonderful cross of cultures and diversity.
This month, we had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of our out of state sewing group coordinators, Dee Knight. Dee wanted to spend time learning more about the ministry and how her group can be positive contributors to Haiti Care Mission. It was a day full of vision sharing and organizing. We had a wonderful time learning about her group and how they are working to help us. If the way God connected us together is any indication of the great things that will come from this partnership, then we are expecting big things from this group. This group is from Asheville, North Carolina and would love to meet anyone from the area that is interested in joining them. We would be happy to pass on their information if you are in that area.
We also had the honor of speaking at a ladies group in town where the younger ladies of the church are learning to sew from the experienced ladies. It was encouraging to see the cross generational ministry of this group. There were 3 generations represented and the greatest part was that they all share the same dedication to helping others. The girls in Haiti will be blessed through the fruit of these women. They plan to make 100 dresses for us and we are honored to bring those into Haiti on their behalf.
Later in the month, we had the privilege to share at another local church and the response was great. They have committed to supplying us with 100 pair of flip flops before our next trip. We are always encouraged when we see people link arms with us.
We are grateful for all of you who have spread the word and shared our work with others. Most of the connections we are making are through personal testimonies of our support team. Thank you to each of you who are helping us to share this ministry.
In addition to sharing with churches and groups this month, we are in the final stages of preparations for our spring trip to Haiti. We will leave on April 18th and will be in country for 7 days. We will be bringing approximately 1000 items with us and will be sharing the Gospel at several places. We are looking forward to being back on the ground in Haiti and sharing the love of Jesus with the children.
Please pray for us as we prepare for the trip and as we go. Your prayers are very important to us. Thank you for your continued support.
