Rich prepares for a Road Trip

This weekend Rich, Sylvain and Ronald will embark on their first in a series of trips to visit each of AIS Haiti's seven Regional Committees.

During these trips we will visit our 56 evangelistic soccer teams supervised by 7 regional committees throughout Haiti so that we can train the chaplains in a curriculum a fellow Crossworld missionary has translated into Creole: Ken Sande's The Young Peacemaker.

In addition to this important training, these trips will also allow us to accomplish the following:

1. Train the members of the Regional Committees in leadership and financial skills.
2. Distribute over 1000 lbs of soccer equipment we have already received in Haiti.
3. Help each region prepare an annual plan and prepare an outreach during the 2010 World Cup
4. Deliver over 20,000 pieces of Christian literature: Bibles, tracts and materials in Creole to be used to evangelism and discipleship.

Normally, three AIS Haiti leaders will go on each trip: Richard Mears, AIS Haiti Director, Ronald William, AIS Haiti Board member and Coaching Supervisor; Sylvain Nelson, AIS Head Administrator and Chaplain Supervisor.

This trip will take us to Verettes and Gonaives and will last from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4th.

Please pray for safety in travel and a good time of training and fellowship with our volunteer leaders in Gonaives.
