Providing something as basic as Tylenol to a small child with a high fever who wouldn't have had access to it otherwise was a profoundly humbling experience. Whether it be be through medical care, community education, or meeting basic needs, I can't say enough about all the good Missions of Love is doing in Haiti. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing organization!
From breaking ground on a building project to simply taking the hand of a stranger - the impact we can have for God is almost as remarkable as the impact that God can have in our own lives when we serve Him. This organization was founded by wonderful people, and their honest, unassuming willingness to serve is a model for us that strive to follow in their footsteps.
Being a part of Missions of Love has been a life changing experience for me. Thinking I was retiring, to travel and do things at home that I had always put off. God had other plans (The Mission Field). I was with Missions of Love for 2 years before I traveled to Haiti with Dr. Bob and Betty Johnson. From the moment that I stepped off the plane, I knew it would not be the last time I would visit Haiti. As secretary I already knew a lot about Jolivert , Haiti,( Clinque Jolivert), but to see the progress of the last 20 years + was amazing. At Jolivert there is something for everyone, whether you are medical or ministry or just like to help build and repair, God will use you in the right place, it could be as simple as holding a child while the nurse or doctor examine them. I would highly recommend Missions of Love for your first mission trip.
