Hey, all, it's me again. I've been thinking a lot about Haiti lately. Haiti was in the news a lot earlier this year but has fallen in the news rankings. Other large disasters have taken the place of Haiti's earthquake, but I don't want to forget about those special people. So I've been pondering our next Lifetree Adventures Haiti Christian trip. I'm so excited about the impact we can have on those impoverished and suffering people. We're just finalizing the details of our next Haiti Christian trip, but it looks to be our most meaningful yet. When that devastating 7.0 earthquake first hit in January of 2010, aid workers rushed in from all over the world. Haiti was already the poorest country in the Americas and now had more than 1,000,000 people homeless and 230,000 dead. But support has waned as the months have passed even though the need has grown. According to Dr. Robert Priest at Trinity International University, Haiti does not even rank in the Top 15 destinations for short term mission travel. That's a scary thought, based on the challenges they're facing there.

Our next Haiti Christian trip is full of meaningful work.
