Haiti update 4

Haiti partners, I’m excited to report we are on our way! We have a 16+ hour drive to ft. lauderdale, FL ahead of us. I, Bronson, am looking forward to seeing how this time is used to refresh my commitments to evangelism and discipleship. Amber is excited about...sleeping at the moment 😃😜. (I wish I could sleep like she can in a car!)  Please pray for protection for us,  as the enemy hates the spread of the Gospel;  we are engaging in warfare of the deadliest kind, spiritual! “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

Haiti Trip - Overview

Amber and I are going to Haiti on July 1 st -7 th with 7 other members of Ballardsville Baptist Church (and 1 from another local church).  The trip is led by Brent Gambrell, the President of A Door to Hope Ministries. He has an ongoing ministry presence in Haiti, which takes short-term missionaries to areas of strategic outreach. We will be going to a village called Calebasse (Cal-eh-bass). We know we will be in Calebasse for prayer walking, sharing the gospel, and doing home repair. We don’t know exactly what else we will help with yet, because it could change before July! The possibilities include the building/repair of a church, helping with a pastor’s conference, VBS, or orphanage repair. Much of the work focuses on recovery and repair from the disasters Haiti experienced in 2010 (7.0 earthquake) and 2016 (Hurricane Matthew). ( See this later blog  - we received  news of more trip specifics ) Would you partner with us in praying for our trip?  Be sure t
