What word would best describe you: Passionate

Describe the perfect day: A perfect day would start off with prayer, a cup of coffee and reading the Word. A walk outside would be awesome especially if shared with someone. The rest of my day would be spent traveling some where with friends or family and seeing new places, meeting new people, and seeing how life is going for my loved one's. Eating watermelon would be awesome too. :)

Who are the top 3 most influential people in your life: Jesus, Martin Luther King, and Mother Theresa.

What’s going to be playing through your headphones on this trip: Worship Music...probably some crazy variety. Ron Kenoly for sure :)

Why did you sign up for this trip: I want to serve my brothers and sisters who are suffering. Love on them. Treat them how I would like to be treated in that situation.

What excites you most about this trip: What excites me most about this trip is getting to see what God is up to in another part of the world and especially a part of the world where an unexpected natural disaster occurred. It would also be a blessing to see how the world has helped and what we can continue to do. I'm also excited to be used in anyway God wants me to be used. I'm also excited to fellowship with team mates and new friends in Haiti.

What are you nervous about in this trip: Some things that I'm nervous about is fund raising in a short amount of time, and some of the things that are happening in Haiti safety wise. But I know if God wants me to go the money will be there and there will be peace about my safety.

How can people pray for you through this trip: Pray that God be glorified. That God's hope and love be understood in the hearts and minds of people we meet and serve with. And that we have patience and peace. Good communication. Pray against spiritual attack. Attack within the team and the new culture we are going to be in.
