It has been 6 days since Rachael departed from Medford Oregon to begin her adventure in Haiti. I found out yesterday that she went with the Anthem Ministry Students up to a mountain to reach a village that hasn't received much relief since the earthquake. While the team was there they did some major outreach and built some essential structures (bathroom, etc.) for the village.
She sent me a message today from the base camp that we will be staying in, and told me that there are a couple good guys who have come down to Haiti to stay and serve for a couple months at the base as well. I'm excited to join hearts with these other servants who share in a love for Haiti.
Lastly, a few awesome things Rachael told me about is that it is rainy and cooler, as expected, and she stayed in a tent during the hurricane that passed through. She also enjoyed a nice shower in a waterfall, something few are brave enough to do.
In these remaining days for me in Medford, I am continuing to seek the heart of God and pursue His presence. I just talked to someone yesterday about it, but we chatted about how just like Paul I am finishing my time here strong and well, so that I can be propelled into my time in Haiti. Thank you for all your prayers and love for Rachael and I.
In Love,
Jonathan

Jonathan and Rachael Head to Haiti
The day is coming soon when two hearts will come together with the call and purpose of serving missionaries: John and Debbie Booker, at the Foursquare Church Base Camp in Haiti. The two of went to Haiti in May with eight other people apart of the ministry school we were apart of. We spent a week worshiping, interceding, helping clear rubble, and ministering alongside of others with a shared love for the country and people of Haiti. This trip really opened mine and Rachael's heart for the people of this nation. A nation that has been ripped off by government, greed, and the enemy, but holds amazing potential to be a beautiful, healthy, thriving country.
Rachael will be traveling to Haiti on September 22nd with a group of seven others who are apart of Living Waters Church in Medford and Anthem School of Ministry out of the church. Upon arriving (we presume) the small team will depart from Rachael at Base Camp and head up into the mountains by donkey to minister to a village that has not been able to be reached since the earthquake. They plan to build a bathroom and other sorts of essential things for living.
I will be leaving October 5th and arriving in Port Au Prince on the 6th. I would have liked to leave earlier but I made an agreement to work until October, so I will be finishing my work up prior to going. Upon arrival Rachael and I will be serving the missionaries however we can. We are not positive about all the things we will be doing, but we go without expectations and hopes. Rather, we go with available hearts, willing to do anything no matter what it is. We understand that this is the heart that God desires, a heart abandoned and hungry for whatever God has in store, for the greater calling for His will.
So this is just the beginning and we hope to keep this blog up while we are in Haiti to update everyone on what is taking place. Please be praying for us, the teams that we will be working with, the missionaries, and most importantly the people of Haiti.
In Love,
Jonathan
