I always said I would start a blog when my life was more exciting; when I started to travel, got married, or had kids......well, the time has come! I am going to be part of a relief team that is traveling to Haiti for the month of June. I am so excited about this opportunity as I have felt something was in store for me like this for years. I am going with a group of 30 people that I do not know, will be living in a tent, doing general releif work, & just showing people a little of God's love & kindness! It will be very out of my comfort zone but I accept the challenge:)
The organization I am traveling with will be starting a website, on which all team members may post, that you will have access to. I will post it as soon as I get it! I will also do my best to keep you updated on any details about my trip as I get them. If you are interested in reading about AIM teams that are already working in Haiti please check out www.theworldrace.org/haiti/ scroll down to the bottom & click on "Haiti relief blog".
On a change of subject, you may know that I had foot surgery a few weeks ago & am on crutches:) I have gotten a wheel chair at school since my arm pits & palms are sore & have now gotten several new nick names such as "speed racer" "hot wheels" & "wheely".....I haven't decided which is my favorite. I do get asked at least once a day to pop a wheely....haven't masted that yet;)
Being on crutches is starting to be challenging as I am a busy body & am used to running all over town! Running to the grocery store or Target is not so simple these days since surgery was my right foot & I have not been driving. I did however pull the car up in the drive way successfully today when the water hose was stuck under the tire! Does this mean I'm ready for the road? Yeah right, my mom would kill me! AND it's probably not very safe......... I get the pin taken out in a week & a half, then I can walk in the boot, I can't wait (laundry is getting out of control!)
First blog= DONE! Have a great Monday :0

Dear Family & Friends,
Hi! I hope all of you are doing well. I am so excited to share what has been going on in my life lately. For several years I have felt called to serve in missions & have done a few short term trips. I kept feeling a longer trip was in my future & it was. I found an organization called Adventures in Missions (AIM) that was serving in Haiti for the entire month of June. I felt drawn to this particular trip, so I applied, & have been accepted!
This trip will be a challenge as I am going with a group of people I do not know & will be living in tough circumstances. However, my heart's desire is to give the people of Haiti a small taste to Gods love & kindness; to plant a seed of hope in a what might seem a hopeless situation. I want the hurting people of Haiti to know, that God is good & is there as they grieve, recover, & rebuild. While we are in Haiti we will be helping in any area needed, including but not limited to providing shelter/construction, food for the hungry, orphanage work, assisting with clean up, etc.
I thank God for the opportunity He has given me & know that He will provide. I would be honored if you would support me in this ministry prayerfully, financially, or both. I am specifically asking for five people who will commit to pray for me each day until I return. The trip cost is $2000, which will provide a round-trip flight from Atlanta to Haiti, plus meals & transportation while in Haiti. Of the $2000:
$1000 due by April 1st
$750 due by May 1st
$250 remaining due by June 1st
I'm so thankful for God's timing & experiences he has given me that have lead me to this point. I'm even more excited to see how He will use me & what He will teach me during this time. Thank you to each of you! You have influenced me & helped bring me to this place in my life. I hope you will prayerfully consider being part of this ministry. Thank you so much!
In Him,
Jenny Covill
