In keeping this blog "alive," I'd like to take the opportunity to encourage others to take a short-term missions trip. It is such an amazing, life-changing experience and if you are able, you should go! If finances are an issue, do some fundraising at your church or in your community. Tell your family to forget Christmas/birthday presents and instead make a donation to your trip.
If you are interested in meeting the precious children at Gift of God Orphanage in Haiti featured in my blog, check out upcoming trips with Faith Missions International at http://fmisent.org/ShortTerm
If you are interested in going elsewhere like China or Africa, you can find information on the All God's Children International website at
http://www.allgodschildren.org/embrace-missions
There are several other ministries that also coordinate short-term missions trips to various countries around the world. Just type in "short term missions" on Google and see what you find!
