Keith Earle – Reflection on the Mission Trip to Haiti

April 6, 2016 Called to Serve

Haiti paintingWe are so happy to share with St. George about the wonderful time we have recently had with our partners in Haiti. During our six-day visit we were overwhelmed and filled by the love and friendship that surrounded us.   Fr. Noe Bernier (our new priest there) and his team of hosts and staff were absolutely amazing in their care of our team.   From the moment we landed until we took off back to Texas we were surrounded by caring  friends who made sure our every need was met.   Our time was filled with wonderful food, fellowship, and quality development time with the school and church community there.  Fr. Noe ensured that we had the opportunity to spend time with the school’s students, faculty, and staff making our partnership stronger than ever.Robbie Haiti

We spent time taking pictures of student life and teachers, distributing donations, teaching music, and creating bonds between generations as we played and learned with the students. We were overjoyed by the continued progress on the campus as we saw the finished kitchen facility,  repairs to the school, and the walls going up for the rebuilding of the church! There is still work to be done and we will share the needs and dreams of our friends in Haiti with our community here at St. George.  We cannot wait until our next visit with our friends, and we are especially energized as we head into the Chain of Love event that supports the work of this partnership!

Blessings,

Keith Earle
