This is my brother-in-law, Travis. (with his lovely wife, Kristen)

Travis is many things; a devoted husband and father, a loving son and brother, the “fun” uncle (as my kids like to say, lol!), a hard worker, and crazier than most people I know. *grins*

But above all though, Travis is on fire for God! He is one of those people that you just can’t help but be affected by when you are around him – his energy and passion for the Lord (and for people) just seems to seep out of him and latch onto the nearest person.   :)

Why am I telling you this? It’s simple. Travis is on his way to Haiti in a few short weeks, and I am trying to help raise support for his trip. His passion for the poor is palpable, but his main focus is to bring Christ to those who need Him.

I truly admire Travis for making this trip. He is leaving behind his beautiful wife, his two children, and every single comfort of home in order to do what he feels he is called to do; minister to those in need.

I asked Travis for a little bit of information about what group he was going to Haiti with, and what exactly they were going to be doing. Instead of trying to paraphrase, I am taking a few things that he has sent me, as well as some of his status updates from Facebook to show you his purpose, and his heart.

In his own words:

“I’m falling in love with the hungry, the sick, and the poor.”

“Haiti in four weeks. We are going to attempt to build as many houses as we can in six days.”

“We are working with Child Hope International at The Lighthouse orphanage in Port-Au-Prince. We plan to make this a regular thing to bring the gospel; to clothe, feed, heal, and bring salvation to the poor.

We have been going to Mexico to build for the people and now we are getting off continent. Building is just an excuse to build relationships to lead others to Christ.”

‘What you have done to the least of these you have done to me.’ ~Jesus~ ”

 

 

Now, with all of that said, I would like to ask you to pray about this missions trip to Haiti. Please pray for safety for all involved, for the Gospel to reach the hearts of those who need Christ, and whether or not you should donate to this mission.

If you feel led to give, please use the Donation button below:
 

All donations will be sent to Travis at the end of this month. I am hoping to be able to post a screen shot of my PayPal that contains a huge amount of donations by the time we send it out.   :) — And don’t worry, all personal information will be blacked out for privacy reasons!

For more information on what they will be doing, take a peek at the following video links. The first video will pop up in a shadow box here on the blog, and the second link will open in a new window:

Thank you in advance to any and all who are willing to donate to this missions trip. Your support is greatly appreciated!
