Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you know, I went to Haiti for 7 weeks through Child Hope International to teach at a school for orphans. After returning from Haiti, I started working as the state-side administrator for the organization. I am so thankful that I get to continue to be a part of this ministry to help the people of Haiti, whom I’ve grown to love and care for so much.
I am returning to Haiti for a week from December 2-11th. This time I will not be working as a teacher, since the school has transitioned from English to French instruction this past fall. During this week long trip I will be creating an informational packet about the different ministries of Child Hope; orphanage, school, medical clinic, new transition program, earthquake relief, and community outreach program. Since so many exciting new changes have happened since I was there in the summer, I need to revisit these ministries so I can effectively and accurately communicate what Child Hope is doing to help the people of Haiti in order to raise awareness and support.
I am writing you to ask that you partner alongside me in prayer. Haiti can be very dangerous, and because I am arriving there shortly after their presidential elections, chances of rioting will increase. Please pray for my health. Many foreigners have gotten Dengue Fever while providing relief after the earthquake and now there is a Cholera outbreak, which has killed more than 500 and infected thousands. Lastly, and most importantly, please pray that God would strengthen and guide me in everything I do. That I will be Spirit led and a blessing to the missionaries, the staff, the orphanage kids, and the neighborhood children.
Also, if you’d like to financially support me on this trip, I’d greatly appreciate it. My trip will cost $700. You can address your tax-deductable check to Child Hope International and write my name on the memo line. Email me and I'll send you the address to send your check to
Thank you for your love, encouragement, and support. It means the world to me. You can follow my adventures on my blog at www.jessinhaiti.blogspot.com.
God Bless,
Jessica Selga
