Mission Trip 11/15/17 What a team !!! Pastor Reid, Abby, Debbie, Luke, Keith, Danny, Ali, Andrew, Kiersten, Lori, Danny, Katarina, Ronkokoma Rotary, Arnie, Russ, Eddy & Myself

What another amazing Missions trip! We had a pretty large team going this time and everyone brought their love and passion to serve with them ! As soon as we arrived it was like family brought together! We went straight up to our church where the team quickly embraced the people young and old as they shared from their hearts why they were there. We blew up balloons in the dark that had little lights in them ! It made that whole mountain top just seem to glow and radiate the love of Jesus ! We spent the rest of the week going all over that mountain visiting and giving out food, clothes, toys, dolls etc. One afternoon was spent on the street where we had set up tables. We had coloring stations, painting stations, a game table, and nail polishing table !! Oh my gosh !! What fun it was to see the smiles on the faces of the young and old as they went from table to table enjoying their time! Later ,we decided to go to the other side of the mountain and share there as well ! What a scene it was as all the motorcycles pulled up to get us up that mountain ! Truly a moment none of us will ever forget ! The day before we left, we had such an amazing time with all the kids. Jean had them all come to his yard where we had a few stations set up . All the kids and some adults tie dyed t-shirts ! Our team taught them how to rubber band the shirts and then how to carefully put them into the dye. They all had so much fun ! When it was time to take off the rubber bands and see their t-shirts, you should have seen their faces ! They were so proud and they wore those shirts like they were gold ! Arnie, Russ and Eddy joined us that day... what a blessing ! They are from the Ronkokoma Rotary. They actually traveled to Haiti in the hopes of getting our church and school water ! As they went up that mountain, we all prayed for the answer we were hoping to hear ! And guess what ??? We are going to get WATER !!! Thank you Jesus !!! Thank you for these faithful men and for all those that helped to make this possible ! We are waiting on God's perfect timing and we know it will happen. God moved through each one who came. It was another beautiful mission trip. We thank Jesus for this incredible opportunity and we love our Haiti family so very much !
