"Everyone has a dream, calling, or passion that they hope will one day be fulfilled. Second to my love for God is my love for the people of Haiti. Serving God by serving them is what I dream to do. It is my deepest desire and passion. Currently, I reside in North Carolina. I live an easy life here which consists of working and studying for the Lord, but I am ready to give it all up. One day I hope to live among the people of Haiti so that I can teach the Haitian children. The 2012 mission trip to Haiti will be my second trip to that region but most certainly not my last. My request is that our team be kept in constant prayer. Great things will be done on this year's trip. The word and will of God will be fulfilled, but we need a healthy, strong and happy team. Prayer is very important to me and is very important to the success of this year's trip."
