It is our final day of preparation and packing before leaving for Haiti! Each morning this week, we have met for prayer together and are all very excited to be part of what God has planned for this week in Les Cayes, Haiti. Tonight we are holding a "packing party" to pack up donated items and supplies for crafts and games. First thing tomorrow morning, we meet up with the college team from Christ Covenant Church at the airport, and the 22 of us will be working together this week.
Please keep us in your prayers:

*60% of adults cannot read or write / more than 50% of children do not go to school

*50% of the population has NO healthcare
*13% of children die before the age of 5
