Pastor Mark's First Trip To Haiti

In preparation for the July 11th trip, Team Leader, Pastor Mark Olson spent a few days in Port-au-Prince getting to know the Foursquare staff, pouring into projects with teams that are there now, gaining a better understanding the the specific needs and how our team could best be of service. After an eventful taxi ride to the home-base, Pastor Mark, alongside a team from New Hampshire did some work on rebuilding the roof of one of the Assistant Pastors' homes. A rained out afternoon led to a visit to an orphanage with which the church is affiliated.

"I'm very much amazed and thrilled in the work that God is doing here. There is much more to share and I know this experience will change all your hearts in a great way." Pastor Mark
