Shawna's Haiti Trip in Pictures

Shawna travelled to Haiti from February 5-11 with a 16 member team from Grace Baptist Church. The mission team went to serve at the Church of the Redeemer Savanne Pistache in Port au Prince. Shawna's primary work in serving was conducting a medical clinic for hundreds of people that don't have access to medical care. Shawna also spent the week with my sister Mary and our two beautiful girls, Jesula and Redjina. Here is a brief look into her week in pictures.

First Meet with the Girls
Finally getting there to see the girls, after weeks of anticipation and a long day of travel, is always a Glorious thing. We thank God for these two girls!!!

A Day at the Orphanage
The mission team travelled 3 1/2 hours from Port au Prince to the orphanage in the mountain community of Camatin for the final day of the trip. That last day with the girls brings on every emotion you can imagine!!!

I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
