I would like to announce with great excitement that I have been accepted to serve in Haiti!
I don't know all the details yet, but here is the basic gist:
• I am going with a group of Ellerslie alumni.
• I will be serving in an orphanage and a Christian school, wherever I am most needed.
• I will be leaving in the next 7-10 days (the exact date is still uncertain, because I don't have plane tickets yet).
• I will be living in an apartment with the other Ellerslie girls.
• The apartment is in a guarded compound called Club Indigo that is described as "posh."
• I will have internet access and electricity but no "snail mail" (Haiti has no mail or post office system)
• I intend to keep my blog updated as often as possible (but it may not be daily), and I intend to post lots of pictures!
In the meantime, you might want to go visit Christy's blog. She is down there at the moment, doing what I will be doing. Her writing and pictures are beautiful.

Rebekah I'm so happy for you! And I look forward to hearing your updates from Haiti! Dear Jesus, I pray you give Rebekah everything she needs to be poured out for your glory in this place you are sending her. I pray you give her Your grace and Your growl and that you would be able to flow your love and purpose freely through her, amen.
