Preparing to Journey



The team of 9 young adults from Greater Salem Vineyard is busy making final preparations for the mission trip to Haiti on Saturday, July 18. We will join four members of the Doorway to Peace Haiti Ministry in Les Cayes for a week of service. Painting the inside of the Pilgrim School will take most mornings. This includes a beautiful mural of God's promises and love for His people which will be painted in the preschool room. Afternoons will see the team playing games, singing songs and ministering to the children of Faugasse.
