I really do know the real Jack Bauer! Two years ago, I went on my very first mission trip with Bauer’s team (aka Steve Ijames) and ministered in Haiti. This trip changed my life and ultimately God has opened the door for me to lead mission with Visiting Orphans! He’s a fantastic leader, and it only took me begging him one time to convince him to lead with me again to Haiti January 20th- 27th 2012!! Take a peek at a short clip of us a year ago, planning our 2nd trip back to Haiti to bring formula post-earthquake with my church family. (He’s a hoot!)
I have 6 spots open for “Simply Love Haiti” 2012 Mission Trip!!
Apply here- Visiting Orphans
Do you know the #1 reason why people are not serving in Haiti? The F.E.A.R. of earthquakes, violence, and disease are keeping the numbers down low for Haiti Mission Trips. Well, I want to break the mold and DO IT AFRAID!!!!! I’m bringing a co-leader who has traveled extensively throughout Haiti and has built a relationship with the police in Port-au-Prince… they trust this guy! We will travel through Haiti with the best of the best!! My new Visiting Orphans “Hope for Haiti” mission trip in 2012 will change your life- I promise!
Tell me what your thinking?

I can’t wait! Two of my favourite people, Kari and Steve, coming to Pignon, Haiti! I live here, and my husband and I direct the Haiti Home of Hope Orphanage. There is going to be so much to do during that week, I’m not sure how we will fit it all in. Just be ready to serve and love orphans, widows, the sick, and the lame. We will spend time out in the rural areas ministering to the poor. Come and let God use you to comfort these dear people.

Hey there! I’ve felt the call to go on a Visiting Orphans mission trip for about a year now (since returning from Ethiopia for our daughter’s adoption.) But I’ve been so undecided on where/when to go, until now. Once I read about this trip, I just knew this was the one for me. I just submitted my online application. Look forward to serving orphans with you in Haiti!!!
