Hope for Haiti
In light of everything that has been going on in Haiti after the earthquake, Haiti has truly been on our hearts. After the hurricanes there in 2008, we sent an outreach team to work with the YWAM bases in the country. They had the opportunity to serve the YWAMers and Haitian people, help with hurricane relief work, and make lasting connections with the people of Haiti. Then, in the May of 2009, we received an outreach team from YWAM Haiti St. Marc that stayed with us for a few weeks. They shared with us more about their culture, history, and vision for their nation. We have felt very blessed by the opportunities we have had to experience Haiti and learn more about the needs for the nation.
We have been trying to stay as up to date as possible with what is going on in Haiti, especially with YWAM. Today we had a video conference with Terry Snow, the director of YWAM Haiti and he shared about the great needs that they have. They have converted their base’s gym into a makeshift, overflow hospital. There are so many injured people with very little medicine, people flooding out of the capital into the surrounding towns, and people who have lost their homes, family members and friends. Even though there has been great tragedy the Haitian people are rising up and beginning to help each other rebuild their nation. Terry shared story after story of miracles and faith and of comfort and hope, but he also shared their great need for help, teams and resources.
With that said we are answering the call and are sending our January DTS outreach teams there! Before the school started we had decided on 2 outreach locations, but after we heard about the earthquake and the great need, we went back to God and asked Him if He wanted us to go, and He said YES! So, we went back to our students and asked them to pray about it as well, and to our excitement they all felt that they should go! So, in the beginning of May we will be heading Haiti to help with the relief work! Please keep us and Haiti in your prayers as it will take many more teams answering God's call going with His love and strength to see this nation recover.

Summer Teams 2010!
Well, this summer has been pretty busy! So far, we have already had two teams...one team from Melbourne, Florida and another team from Indianapolis, Indiana. The first team was from Melbourne Calvary Chapel, which happens to be the Heather Madsen's home church. Their fearless leaders Julio and Mike, brought a new group of Middle Schoolers to Mazatlan, Mexico to minister in the colonias and do some evangelism at the Dolphins/ Flagpole area. What an amazing group of young people they were! All

The outreach team in Mexico City has been busy reaching out to the masses in bold and relevant ways. They have seen God's hand at work through the joining of churches uniting together to reach out to the people of their city and they have had the chance to help the Haitian embassy in Mexico after the earthquake in Haiti. They have had opportunities to work in two different high schools where they have been able to go into the classrooms and share all about God and the importance of knowing Him.…© 2010 Created by Lisa Tymos Parrish.
