Welcome to My Readers

 
Hi! My name is Becca, and I want to tell you about one of my biggest adventures (so far). 

January 12, 2010, an earthquake devastated the country of Haiti, particularly in the capital city of Port Au Prince. 

We've all seen images on the news; recent numbers say more than 316,000 people were killed. 


More than one  million are currently homeless, living in tents and temporary shelters. 


And even though this happened over a year ago, only 5% of the rubble has been cleared away. 



In the face of such tragedy, God is working.


I was privileged to be a part of a mission team in May 2010; our purpose was mainly to help clear rubble on a church compound outside of Port Au Prince. 


But as you'll see in the following posts, what we experienced was so much more. 


I'm going to relate my experiences on this blog for one reason and one alone. 

It's not about me.

I'm not trying to brag or make myself look good.


My purpose is to show God at work through ordinary people.


I hope through reading this you will catch the vision, and see what you can do to rebuild Haiti.


God bless!
