A Post by team member, Katie Kappler


I am very excited about getting to go to Haiti, because I will get to help people in Haiti, learn their culture and grow in my own faith and leadership. This is one of the biggest and greatest steps that I have ever taken. 
The verse that has been speaking to me now and is my favorite, is Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This verse is very important to me, especially when I am going on a trip like this. I do not have to worry about what is going to happen, because I have put it in God's hands to work through me. 
    I hope that during this trip, I can show more leadership. I am also looking forward to being able to speak in front of crowds. I think the thing that scares me the most, is sharing my testimony. I am going to be very nervous about sharing that in front of a lot of people, but I see that as and opportunity to overcome my fears and also grow in my faith. I am very excited for March 31st to come. I know I will come back a changed person and I will learn a lot to.
