Haiti Mission Journey (Feb 05-15, 2009)

Our first Mission Journey of 2009 took place February 5-15. Chuck Perry led a group to Haiti working with Kendell & Yvrose Johnson and the Dufailly Christian Church.
Kendell was part of our 1st-ever Mission Journey team in 1985 (to Haiti). He fell in love with Haiti and later returned as a full-time missionary.
Also on the team were Donnie Campbell (Lawrenceburg, KY) and Chuck Bullock (Richmond, KY).
While there, the team helped with constructing a nice 18’ x 24’ block church building. The church had been meeting in a 21’ x 14’ tin shed. The team also helped with a VBS for the children in the afternoon and Chuck Perry held a week-long revival at night.
About the team, Kendell said, "Short-term missionaries have many different talents and bring a burst of energy that encourages people on the mission field. Not only can building projects can be done at a very fast pace, but it is also great to see the VBS and revival meetings with great teaching and preaching."
He went on to say, "More hands and feet on the job make a lighter load for everyone involved. The fellowship is great and the laughter and joy as we work together is wonderful. Thanks for the team who worked on the church building for the Dufailly Christian Church in Haiti. Thanks again for the encouragement!"
We hope to have a 2nd group travel to Haiti this July. Contact Teen Mission, USA, if you would be interested in going.
