Dear
I am super excited about this year’s spring break because I plan to go to Haiti for a youth mission trip! But I can’t do it alone, I need first of all and most importantly God’s help and second I also need your prayers and support.
On this trip, a group of 12 of us will be staying at an orphanage there for about a week. We will pack our suitcases full of food, clothes, and presents sent by their adopting parents in our area for the kids. This will give us a chance to help out as much as we can at the orphanage and share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. I am excited to see all the plans of service the Lord has for us there. What an amazing opportunity I have to reach out and love the orphans of Haiti!
Unfortunately the funds for this trip are great. For the total trip including airfare, the expenses are a little over $1200. Our youth group has worked hard to raise funds by doing numerous fundraisers, and we still have more in the works. We are almost halfway to reaching our goal! If you would like to help support our youth group financially, you can send a check or money by mail to New Braunfels Bible Church, 652 Loop 337,
New Braunfels, TX 78130 or you can just send it back to me at the address above. All checks should be made out to New Braunfels Bible Church with my name and youth mission Haiti on the subject line. For more information, you can visit my blog that I have made to help support the outreach to the kids of Haiti. If you have facebook, it is easier to donate if you go to my blog, http://youthmissionshaiti.blogspot.com. I will also post while we are in Haiti, so you will be updated on our ministry there.
If you are unable to partner with me financially, I totally understand and your prayers are more precious to me than anything. Pray that we will trust in God’s providence and also that God would work through us to touch the hearts of all the people of Haiti, especially the kids. Thank you so much for your time and support!
Blessings,

Support and Spaghetti!
God's blessings are never ending! My goodness I sent out my support letters just last week and already our Haiti funds are getting greater and greater. While at tennis practice the other day, a friend of mine gave me a 100 dollar bill, and then later that night while I was babysitting my pastor slipped 50 dollars and an encouraging note into my purse. Our God is always faithful. For any of our group members who still need to get their plane ticket payed off, I strongly suggest support letters. I have posted mine as an example to help get you started. Send it to your close church family or friends asking for prayer and support. We need all the help we can get. Thanks to all who helped with our youth Spaghetti Dinner (special thanks to Paige Wells for her amazing servant's heart. We could not have pulled it off without all your help). 2200 dollars total was raised! The bake sale was tremendous, the spaghetti buffet line was delicious, and the fellowship was incredible. It was a complete success!
