First Team Meeting Recap

(This is from Friday)

Bonjou Haiti team!!!

Sorry about the delay on getting this out. Don’t forget we are going to TiGeorge’s tomorrow at 12pm, we’d love to see you all there! www.tigeorgeschicken.com or google TiGeorge’s Chicken. The next meeting this coming Thursday will be at the Constables, we will send out the address later this week. Mostly because I don’t know it off the top of my head and Alicia is going to work. All are invited even if you are not going to be on the ground with us in Haiti, we’d love to have you come and support us in prayer and fellowship.

We have a blog and a calendar that we are trying to put as much on as possible. This is a great way if you are going on the team to have your supporters, friends and family members be updated on what is going on with the team. I will do my best to get it updated while we are in Haiti too so everyone can check in and see what is going on with us all. All of our emails should be posting on the blog site too, so if you ever miss anything just go to http://www.khchaititeams.blogspot.com/ and our team calendar (which there is a link to on the blog) is http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=aliciamaesimmons%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles

Here’s a summary from our meeting:
We had a great time breaking ice and praying and worshiping together to start everything off. We then discussed Mexico, which all questions should be directed to Marie Constable at constable1999@juno.com

Shots: You should get your shots and meds and passport ASAP if you haven’t got them already. We highly recommend the city of Long Beach travel immunization clinic for shots, the lady there is super amazing. You need to make an appointment, the website for the clinic is: http://www.ci.long-beach.ca.us/health/services/clinics/travel_clinic.asp The sticks in the arm we have received previously have been: Hep A/B Typhoid and Tetanus. Then we get some type of Malaria pills and Ciprofloxacin. But you can just call it Cipro for short. We don’t remember the costs on this.

Cost/Deadlines: Based on previous trips we are expecting this trip to cost somewhere in the ballpark of 1000-1250. The first deadline for money is 575 due on September 18th. We want to buy our plane tickets ASAP so we can keep the cost low. Please let us know how you are doing with this or if you need help with anything.

Fundraising: We have many opportunities for fundraising aside from sending out support letters. If you need help with your support letter, we are available to help. We think it is best if the checks are made out to King’s Harbor Church and in the memo line the person writes Your Name – Haiti Oct Team and then sends it to you and you fill out a tithe envelope for that and deposit the envelope in the appropriate place. We are still wondering if anyone is interested in helping with the Lomita Fair and putting out some art to sell to raise money? Please let us know so we can reserve a spot. This is on October 11th.

Matthew 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Feel free to call or email us!
