"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Cor 10:31

Serving the people of Haiti as an act of worship of our Lord

In response to the massive earthquake that devastated this beautiful island country and killed almost 250,000 people, the compassionate folks of Grace Fellowship UMC, Katy, TX donated over $65,000.00 to a Haiti Relief Fund.

$55,000.00 was immediately donated to several reputable agencies already working in Haiti and $10,000 was held back with a future hands-on mission trip in mind. The Grace Fellowship mission team will be in Haiti from August 2nd through August 7th!

Ten people from our Hurricane Relief Team, Emergency Response Team and Orphan's Hope Small Group were invited to participate. God has blessed our team with 3 Grace Fellowshippers who are from Haiti!

We will be serving under the leadership of Bob Sjogren of UnVeiling Glory Ministries in partnership with another ministry, Thirst No More. The primary plan is to do relationship evangelism in the tent cities. We will also serve at an orphanage, help in a medical clinic and possibly do some construction. Needs are changing daily so we are living by biblical principles that whatever we do, we will work as unto the Lord and will do everything for the glory of God!

We covet and appreciate your prayer support!

More Pre-Trip Thoughts

When Norlande left Haiti to move to the US, she never wanted to forget her beautiful country. After the earthquake hit, she had cousins living with her family here. She was grateful for the opportunity to help them. Upon hearing of this opportunity to go to Haiti she felt such a surge in her spirit she knew it was God pushing her. She is excited as this will be her first mission trip! Norlande looks forward to helping her fellow Haitians, especially the children. She is sure God will use her and that she will grow as a Christian. Norlande's mother Rolande will also be traveling with the team.
