The Transition: Haiti 13 Project

As the team prepares to take the trip back to Haiti again, the blog will be transitioning to this year's mission journey. The posts from the 2011 and 2012 trips will remain in case you'd like to read about that trip.

Praying for each of you as you travel to be Jesus' hands and feet at MOH. May God fill you with His Spirit and do a mighty work in and through each of you in a new and fresh way this week!
Praying daily,
Terri
