Great is the Lord!

We give our God all the glory and praise for this past trip to Haiti.  In Psalm 145 David sings a song of praise to our Great Lord.

" The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made" Psalms 145:9

Because of God and his strength and guidance a team of 43 students and chaperones had the opportunity to travel to and from Haiti and serve him.

What a fruitful and amazing trip for all.  Safety and really overall health for each of us, along with life transformation.

Thank you for sharing your Sons and Daughters and supporting them to "GO" on this trip.  I pray they have been transformed in "Him"  The students did a great job in serving, helping, and sharing who God is.  We have been very blessed to have led MVCS students to Haiti since 2011 and are now preparing to move to Haiti permanently to serve full time on the mission field.  We have a nonprofit organization called Ministere des Bras Ouverts. (translation: open arms ministry) and will remain in connection with Monte Vista in the future.  We have opportunities for you to come serve at anytime.  You can visit the website at mbohaiti.org.

Monte Vista will be going back to Haiti with some great leaders from the school in January of 2016.  Please pray about this and many of the students have indicated they would like to return.  We also have summer opportunities and internships available.  We are excited for what God has planned and Thank you for continued support and prayers.  This is a relationship we would always like to maintain.  If you would like to be put on our monthly update, blog please email me at amy@mbohaiti.org  or up until May 28 amyrivas@mvcs.org.

Future trip dates:  May 28 - June 4 (or longer)  Please sign up now.

A few Updates

'If you are looking to donate $$ for mission projects, trees, cows and goats, Please do not pay to MVCS  the money, check goes to Ministere des Bras Ouverts and you can drop it off to Mrs. Rivas

For the required donation list, you are to pack that in your own luggage.  If you have a second bag(not preferred)  I will only pay if it is donation items not extra clothing and your own food.  Please pack wisely. Baggage fees are expensive and difficult to pay for all second bags.  You can bring two carry ons the plane.  Just no liquids in the bags to carry on the plane.
Thank you.

for your sleeping mat, it it rolls up you can carry it on the plane so it does not take up room in the bags.

START YOUR MALARIA SUNDAY!!!!

remember to pack your own towel, washcloth, soap ( just as if you would be going to camp, not a hotel.  Do not forget your Bible and Journal.


You should be going to Gods word, prayer and Journaling

Happy pacing

so excited to see what God has in store for all of us on this trip

Be at the San Francisco airport Thursday April 2 8:45 PM
