Today we fly to Port au Prince, Haiti for a week of ministry. You can read all about the reason for our trip, and our friends who will show us all around the country they have come to love, here.

Hope in the Healing will take a break for a couple of reasons. One, we will have almost no opportunity to obtain internet. From my understanding, even though the compound we are privileged to stay in does have a generator, we will only have electricity sporadically. Sometimes daily, but never a surety. So it will be impossible to blog and update you in that fashion. And also I will be so busy there will be no time to actually write!

I may be able to post to social media at times, again it will be totally random. If you want to follow me on my personal Facebook please friend me under Nannette Elkins. I will be happy to friend you back! Other social media buttons are up in the right hand corner of this page, please follow me on Instagram and Twitter and I will do my best to post pictures and updates on our journey.

While we are gone, would you please keep us in your prayers? There is civil unrest in Haiti because of political elections. It can be a dangerous place but, as we know, so is every other corner of the world right now. We go in Jesus’ name and pray we can be a blessing to the missionaries that live there and to the Haitian people as  well.

We will be visiting several orphanages and understand our hearts will be torn for these children. Many have been displaced by the earthquake in 2010 and will likely never have a real family. Pray that we can show the love of God while we are there and just let them know they are loved.

Two of My Three Sons are going with us and we are ecstatic about that. We should have memories for a lifetime and we are so happy to share it with them. My DIL is expecting our first granddaughter and it wouldn’t be wise for her to make the trip so she and Kyle will not be going.  (This crazy photo was hash-tagged #nomoreroomonthecouch at my MIL’s on Thanksgiving.) I love them!
