Volunteer Testimonies

I had a blast!

Wow!!! I have to say that I had a blast during the HHHE mission trip of 2019. I had the chance to work and help the VBS team leader for the whole trip and worked with the health team on Saturday afternoon. I also had the opportunity to work alongside our very own eye technician and then with our physician team. That is what you called flexibility working wherever the Lord leads.

Steps to Wellness

Steps to Wellness was the theme for the Haiti mission trip 2019. The emphasis was on the Source of healing and natural remedies that He has placed at his children’s disposal. At all the locations, God as the foundation of all healing was highlighted. Our wonderful Heavenly Father is no respecter of persons and the solutions that He has the common diseases of Diabetes, hypertension and Cardiovascular were within the reach of all….including HIS children in Haiti.

The Trip of a Lifetime

I took my first mission trip to Haiti at age 14 with my Mom and Aunt. It was hot and humid, and I knew nothing of the language or culture. I took cold showers, got bitten up by mosquitoes (forgot my bug spray), and struggled to sleep. Still, this was the trip of a lifetime. I've been back three times, with plans for a fourth. The photos I captured of our work, the bits of Haitian Creole I've picked up while visiting, the delicious food, the warm culture, and the communities we impact makes every trip worth it. We help people stay healthy with holistic health education and supplies. We brought children joy and access to education with school supplies and Vacation Bible school programs, and we learned so much about the vibrant history of the country of Haiti.
