I have recently been blessed with the opportunity to go to Haiti. As you all know, Haiti was devastated by an intense earthquake very recently and is in dire need of all the help and prayer possible! I will be a part of a team going to a specific region that has not been effected by the earthquake. In this area, one of my travel buddies, Zach Stutzman, has family working with a funded ministry organization that operates an orphanage there. The orphanage is roughly about 2 hours from where the earthquake caused the most damage. So I will not be in the most dangerous part of Haiti currently, however, the need and reason for my trip is haunting. After the earthquake, 100,000's were left dead and trapped by rubble. This has consequently left 100's, if not 1000's of children without any family at all. So many of these children are now orphans, without a place to go to. No one to reach out to, no one to lean on. The orphanage we will be joining efforts with, has just agreed to transport literally HUNDREDS of these displaced children to the current facilities and the staff there is in a frenzy to accept the help of all who will answer the need. It is possible that a majority of our time there may just be spent holding an abandoned child. These kids don't have anyone. Otherwise, we will be doing what we are needed for the most.
Over the next month I will be in Portland, Oregon with Zach preparing physically, mentally, financially, emotionally and spiritually for our adventure. I will be tattooing there the entire month as much as possible to raise funds to help with the cost of us getting over there. We have no idea what the trip is going to cost total, but a rough estimate is that the both of us will need $1500 each. So a total of $3000 should easily cover what it will cost to get us there and back, and keep us fed. Again, this number is not a for sure total, it could be less, it could be more. With that in mind, both Zach and I have committed all excess funds to be given directly to the orphanage and the needs there. We need only what will get us there and back and some food along the way. BUT WE ONLY HAVE A TOTAL OF 1 MONTH TO RAISE THESE FUNDS!!!!!!
I have no doubt God will provide, so please read below to find out how you can help.
If you would, please consider how you can be a part of this journey with us. Whether it be prayer, financial blessing, or that you actually should be called to journey with us, I would seriously ask that you go before the Lord and ask His direction.
Prayer requests will be posted as thought of. Right now pray that God's direction would be clear to us, as well as the supernatural gifting of the Spirit in preparation here and while we are over there. Haiti is a place very strong in voodoo practice and satanic ritual, therefore our presence will not be welcomed by the principalities and the spirits of the flesh. We need prayer warriors to pray with us the entire length of the trip. Praise to God that the battle is already won!
Should you choose to contribute financially, please pray about a specific amount. Every penny is a blessing. You can visit the Paypal account we have set up currently to donate any and all funds. Again, as of now we need to raise a total of $3000. Donations can be made at :
