Tomorrow I am scheduled to join six others on a 5-day visit to Haiti. This trip has been coordinated by Global Partners (GP), the mission arm of The Wesleyan Church, and is being lead by the GP General Director and the Area Director who is resident in Haiti. The team includes individuals from Cherryville, PA, Greensboro, NC, Mitchell, SD, Rock Island, IL, and Tuscaloosa, AL. The purpose of this "Rebuilding Haiti Vision Tour" is to experience first hand the life in post-earthquake Haiti, to learn about the next steps in rebuilding, and to understand ways that the North American church can provide practical assistance in a timely manner.
My (ideal) plan is to publish a post each day. However, I've learned that ideal plans are seldom realized, and that any plan involving Haiti is certain to be modified (sometimes frequently). Realization of this ideal plan depends on at least three factors: sufficient time in the day for me to compose something coherent, availability of an internet access point, and a live, functioning internet. None of these factors is guaranteed.
Some additional information about Haiti (pre-earthquake) and the involvement of The Wesleyan Church and the local church I attend can be found on the local church website.
