Tyson went to Haiti in October

From Tyson:

This trip out of the country was an incredible eye opener to me and a definite life changing trip event. One of the biggest things that hit me on this trip was the power of prayer. The first couple days were very difficult when I realized there was nothing that I could do to make their physical lives here on earth better long term. I found myself lifting the Haitians up to God, knowing He was their only hope.

In the area where we were, there was a lot of believers so we got to meet, pray with, and encourage fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We got to listen to their stories and pray for their needs. We will never know how God chose to answer our prayers, but putting it in His hands comforted us and the Haitians, as we are confident He is capable to do anything we ask. Other areas of ministry we were involved with included food distribution at a tent city, ministering to children after playing soccer, and organizing a medical clinic. Because I certainly do not have any medical experience, I was able to spend time with the patients before and after they had visited the doctor.

We also went to an orphanage where we loved and encouraged the workers and kids. We were involved in the distribution of toys, mattresses, and formula. There are an estimated 125 kids in the Son of God Orphanage that need continued prayer because their life on earth will be very difficult. Since our return, we have found out that 28 of these children we spent time with have a serious case of cholera. Their only hope is in God and we are comforted in knowing that the Son of God Orphanage workers are true believers.

There is so much more I could say. I'd love to show you more pictures. As our church considers partnering with the Haitian church, please pray for wisdom for our church and also for myself, that we may know what our collective and individual roles should be. I also ask for prayer for the Haitian people, the Son of God Orphanage, and the cholera disease that is spreading rapidly throughout Haiti.
