Traditions

Well Summer has come and gone and Fall is here. This October weekend my wife and I are participating in a family tradition we started back in the Fall of 1999. That year we joined with my parents, sisters and their husbands to have a family vacacation in southern Indiana every year since then we have taken our annual trips together and gone north to Lake Michigan. It's shortly after return from these annual trips that I prepare to head off to start a new season of mission work in Haiti. It has only been about 9 weeks ago that I returned home but so much has happened in Haiti since then because of all the destruction and damage from the hurricanes this Summer. We have lots of projects planned for this next season and will also be doing lots of hurricane relief work as well. I will be arriving in Haiti November 10th to get prepared for several of our upcoming projects and make an assessment as to how we can assist in helping with relief efforts in our community. January and early Feb. we will have mission teams arriving and departing Haiti every Sat. At this time we have teams also scheduled for March and May. Many of these Church teams and team members have gotten into a tradition of making these trips an annual event. They are a blessing and I know God is surely blessing them for all they do for us. We still have many weeks that are available for teams to come and help us with the work that needs done. If you are interested just get in contact with me at GAP Ministry and start your own tradition.

In God's love ,
