What an awesome feeling when the preparation of a lifetime of faith meets up with opportunity. For Bonnie, God's call to visit Haiti was a natural one. She grew up in Haiti and has felt compelled to help out in any way that she could. Bonnie shares the following:
"I will be going to Haiti with Kids Around the World which is an organization that goes all over the world installing playgrounds.
There is a team of 44 going from all over the US. I am the only Creole speaker so I will be doing a lot of translating during the week. While the men work on the playground we will be involved in many other projects at the orphanage. The orphanage houses 80 children and there are also 1000 earthquake victims on the site as well."
Bonnie will also be taking a few days to visit Port-au-Prince with an AWANA photographer and some AWANA staff to locate and talk to the Haitian Awana missionary. Sadly, all of the Awana churches were destroyed so the team will try and get a feel for the situation there as well and see how they might help and encourage the ministry to get back on its feet.
Please pray for a hedge of protection around Bonnie and her team from Kids Around the World. Pray that God will use her in a mighty way and that conditions will be comfortable ( Bonnie and her teammates will be sleeping in tents so also pray for good weather!). Pray for Chris and the family as they spend this week of Easter without Bonnie.
