The Engel Exchange: Life Begins at the End of your Comfort Zone.

For those of you who know or for those of you who don't know....

Richard and I are going to

Haiti

April 1st - 8th

We can't even begin to describe how excited we are to go on our 1st international mission trip. We will be staying at a missionary compound in Gressier, Haiti and working in the surrounding areas doing whatever tasks need to be done along with about 20 or so people from Journey Christian Church.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere so traveling there with people we don't know to well, being asked to do whatever at any given moment, and not knowing the language is definitely out of our comfort zone.

Whether you came across this blog post by accident or you are a friend, we ask you to pray for us. We are praying that God stretches us. We are praying that we can be the hands and feet of Jesus with the little time we have there. We are asking Him to open our eyes and ears to allow us to come back and share things with others to give Him the glory. We are also praying for the safety of our group as we travel. Interesting fact is that our compound is only 18 miles from the airport but due to poor road conditions it will take around 2 hours! That van ride should be fun!

We've already seen God work around us as we are preparing for our trip.

My anticipation is rising and I can not wait for my world to be shaken.
