With Everything, By Margaret Carpenter

Hi my name is Margaret and I am going to Haiti this summer to hopefully spread the love of Jesus. I actually wanted to go on the 2012 Spring Break Haiti trip but unfortunately I didn't have the same Spring Break as the Mecklenburg county kids therefore, I couldn't go. Obviously, God did not want me going on that trip. Since I didn't get to go on that trip I prayed for a long time about if God really wanted me to go to Haiti. For months I kept praying hoping to just feel God telling me that I should go on the 2013 Haiti Spring Break trip. Thankfully, one Sunday morning at church, during the sermon, Pastor Chadwick showed a video of an amazing Haitian Singer named Claudell singing the song "With Everything". The video brought me to tears and I could feel God telling me that He wanted me to go to Haiti. Every time that I watch that video now I get chills. I could listen to it over and over again. While I'm in Haiti I just want to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I'm hoping He will work through me and amazing things will be done. One thing I'm scared of happening while I'm there is getting sick. I know when you go to a foreign country the chances of getting sick are a lot higher because the water and such isn't as clean. Hopefully God will keep our whole team safe and no one will get sick while on the trip! Blessings, Margaret
