Looking Forward to 2015

The highlight of 2014 was my mission trip to Haiti.  God birthed this trip in my heart and mind in February 2014. I have a passion to help other pastors.  The purpose of the trip was to provide inspiration and instruction for pastors in a group setting. I spent three days with pastors and two days with pastors/wives. Terry and Carolyn Routon were great hosts and I enjoyed having JP Williams as a co-teacher. On my blog page this venture is titled “OUR MISSION HAITI. Certainly a group effort of God and people.

The pastors were very warm, courteous, and eager to learn. They were hungry to be affirmed in the ministry they were doing and to be encouraged to broaden the scope of pastoral ministry. I was learning right along with them as they asked questions and we discussed pastoral issues. The pastors/wives sessions were very informative as we encouraged each other to be supportive and enduring in working together as a team in ministry. Having an interpreter helped with the language barrier even though some knew a little English. Just being brothers and sisters in Christ brought a unique bonding that transcends any language and cultural barriers.

I would encourage you to consider a mission trip to work with the Haitian people. Christians there will be deeply impacted because of your sacrifice in going.  They encouragement to be discipled and to disciple others while they work in reaching unchurched people. If you have a heart for International mission, Haiti is the place to go.

I am in the process about 2015 and the possibilities of a return trip.  I want to continue working with the pastors and their wives as well as the orphanage. Would you pray with me and for me about 2015 and what needs God might use me to fill?
