Traveling to Haiti - June 7-18

I changed the title to this page as I realized that I am truly a woman "on the move" and this summer is no exception. In one week I leave for Haiti with a team from my church who is finishing up a school focused on discipleship training called, D-school. I have had the privilege to support the school as their Administrator and now get to travel with them to Haiti.

(if you don't have time to read this but would like to financially support my trip to Haiti...scroll down. The main purpose of this email is to keep you updated on what's happening with me.)

I have been to a few third world countries but never to one that has been considered a "disaster area". Recently, when speaking with those who have visited Haiti, it has come to my attention that there is really nothing I can do to prepare for this trip emotionally aside from TRUSTING GOD IN EVERYTHING and believing that He will make my heart and the hearts of my teammates ready. With much prayer, reading of articles, teaching from friends who have been to Haiti and fasting, I know that we will be prepared for everything God has in store for our journey. The bible says that God prepares good works for us in advance and since we are His workmanship, He will make us ready for this trip. THANK YOU LORD!

The D-school is partnering with a ministry called, "Haiti Transformed" out of Antioch Community Church in Waco, TX. For a detailed description of what we will actually be doing along with their longterm vision for Haiti, visit www.haititransformed.org. You will be blessed by it.

We as a school still have about $5000 to raise. Since we have raised support for our travel already, all the money from here on out will be invested in Haiti's economy as we hire translators, workers, provide meals and pay for a place to lay our heads at night. Anything we receive beyond that, it is our desire to invest in Haiti Transformed housing project. Currently they have enough money to pay for 15 houses. You can directly put money towards these houses through the Haiti Transformed website.

To help our students get to Haiti, share Jesus with the people, disciple those who have come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and help rebuild, you can do this through financial donations. Write your checks to:

***Do not write on the memo line but instead attach a sticky note saying that it is for "d-school haiti trip" or "rebecca windle"***

If you would like to support us in prayer while we are there, we will be able to send text updates. Send me your email address and i will get you on there. We know that God wants us there, and because of this, we believe that we are going to have some "wild" stories to tell. Can't wait to share!

Much Love and thankful for you (whoever you are reading this:))
