Another Haiti update

Bonjou Haiti team!!!

 

Thanks to all who could come out today!  There are pictures on the team blog from today (http://khchaititeams.blogspot.com).  Our next team meeting is this Thursday at The Constables.  The address is 2303A Belmont Lane Redondo Beach.  The meeting is at 7pm.

 

Here is your Creole lesson for the week, Wally Turnbull style (as in a phrase you would never use):

Creole word for tonight is bon-bon.  Aliciia fe twop bon-bon.  Alicia makes too many cookies.  Haha.   

 

On the agenda for this team meeting:

Prayer, worship and fellowship

We should have some Creole language CDs for you this week.

Further planning for the art fair on October 11^th 8am – 4pm

Talking about airline tickets and prices

Share a testimony.  Please be prepared to do this, because we want you all to do it eventually J  We will spin Alicia around blindfolded and she will point at someone.

Hunger Dinner updates

Updates on Mexico from Marie

Projects/items to do in Haiti

We will need to get your name as it appears on your passport this week also for purchasing the tickets (we have it on the app, but we want to double check)

 

Don’t forget about (please reread as it has been updated a little):

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 18^th.  We are going to be buying our tickets over the next week or three.  You will be responsible for the ticket once it is purchased.  The sooner you can get money in for this, the better. 

 

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

 

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."
