I loved ending the semester at Mason last night by commissioning the team of students who will head to Haiti on January 9th.  So cool to think of how God is going to use them over the Christmas break.  I’m trusting Him for great things in their lives, for the growth of His church in Percin and for His protection as they step out in faith.

The focal point of their trip is helping the community of Percin dig latrines.  Currently, the community has no running water or latrines – they simply use the ocean.  And, yes, that would be the same place they bathe and wash clothes.  Not a good scene.  We’re trusting God to use this team to work alongside the residents of Percin to build four latrines.

Each latrine costs $400 to construct.  I was thinking it would be cool if all of us who read this post banded together to fund at least one of those latrines in the next 24 hours.  Who knows – maybe we could even knock out two!!  If you want to make a donation (thinking $5 or $10), just click here.  You’ll need to create a simple user account but that just helps us process your donation more effectively.  When you get there, please make sure you select the Haiti (GMU) team.

Pretty cool to think we could make such a big difference in people’s lives.  Let’s see how it goes.
