Send Me

To start off :
 
WHAT'S UP EVERYONE?!
 
 

Alright, so, this one is going to be slightly different than any of my other posts. This post is a flat out open invitation....because I'M GOING TO HAITI BABY!!!! (Read first then I will explain how this is an invitation)

The dates that we have set for this trip are July 2nd-7th, & we're currently scheduled to fly into Port-Au-Prince, and then travel via vehicle two hours to a town called Montrious (to which I had mistakingly been calling "Monsterous"). Located near that village is a school of about 165 children that we'll be spending most of our time at. The school is on the slope of a mountain called Mt.Piat, and it is an underdeveloped area. Although my group has previously gone to this school before, it will be my frist time working with this school in Haiti. While there, we'll be doing a lot of different things there, such as :
A) Building a reservoir for the bathrooms, since the area currently doesn't have a supply of running water for the students.
B) Giving the bathroom two different rooms, each one having a shower (so, this bathroom is quite an important commodity in the area)
C) We're also planning on bringing medical supplies and clothing to the area.

 
But wait Brandon, we still haven't seen any kind of invitation...
 
 
Right! About that!

So, for this trip to happen, I'm extending a threefold invitation!
The first invitation is...
 
1) To prayer.
 
This is, without a doubt, the most important part of everything. My life is living proof of how utterly
helpeless that I am apart from Christ, and so WE NEED PRAYER.
 
2) Financially contributing to the project (combined with prayer).
 
So, the estimated costs for the building, water line, water reservoir, and septic system is about $3000. We are doing fund raising events (garage sales, etc.), but we, as a team, want to be able to invite others to join in on what we're doing. The best way to make sure that your donation is safely done is to send a check to "Allie Powell Missions," which can be sent to :
16916 NW US HWY 441
High Springs, FL 32643
On the memo line, designate it as "Piat School" to ensure the funds that go to the designated area. We're believing to have the funds raised by March 31st.
 
3) Financially contributing to...THIS MANIC HISPANIC (and prayer)
 
So...I love you family. This is where I, personally, need your help. I need help raising the funds to be able to go & to pay for my ticket and whatnot. I'm wanting to raise $800, which should cover for the ticket, hopefully brining supplies and other expenses (food, etc). I have set up a GoFundMe account where donations can be made. Also, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! I am utterly dependent on God & I need prayer. Thank you all so much for reading this, for being in my life & for any contributions you have made. God bless you fam!
