Albert Jones says, “My desire in leading a missions group to Haiti is that we
learn what it means to love others as
ourselves (Mathew 22:39) and develop a passion to serve the Lord.”
Students
will be led by two UC student leaders: Natalie Graham and Bethany Yontz. They
will guide students as they engage the community in events such as a sports
camp, building a house, and finishing their week up by helping at multiple
orphanages.
These dedicated students
are eagerly awaiting March 11-20, also known as Spring Break, to arrive so they
can board a plane to Haiti. Once there, they will have a bus ride of four hours
to their destination of Fermathe.
Upon arrival, students
will be joined by four other colleges from the Kentucky area who are there to
serve the Lord as well.
