By Enoch Haven, Frontline Arlington

It is hard to believe that I have been working at Frontline Arlington for 7 Months. Time, and nearly everything else, moves quicker than normal in Washington DC. I continue to work with the Connect Team at my congregation in Arlington, and I am excited about how this ministry is progressing. I have also started regularly meeting with several volunteer leaders at my church for support and discipleship. In addition to praying for them and hearing their ministry concerns I am also walking through the book The Master Plan of Evangelism with a couple of these men.

On February 17-19th my church will be going on a Winter Retreat at Massanutten Resort, and we are currently preparing for this event as a staff. In addition to working with the Church body at Frontline Arlington, I have also been spending a good deal of time doing ministry with the students at Georgetown University in Washington DC. MBC hosts a weekly service at Georgetown, and is very involved on the campus.

On January 14th I was able to attend a retreat with the student ministry leaders at Georgetown where we planned out events for the upcoming semester. Just before Christmas, Pastor Edward asked me to consider leading a team of Georgetown students on a mission trip to Haiti. I excitedly said yes, and on March 3rd I will be flying to Haiti for a week with a group of about 10 students. I have already had two meetings with the team, and we will be meeting weekly for the next month and a half in preparation for our departure in early March. As you may recall, in early 2010 an earthquake caused a huge amount of damage to this already impoverished nation, and two years later, the effects of the quake on this tiny nation can still be strongly felt. During our time in the country we will be working with an organization called Mission of Hope. This is a large ministry which seeks to serve the country by working in disaster relief, providing food, and educating children. MOH also has a medical clinic, and recently opened a facility that creates prosthetic limbs for those in the community. I encourage you to check out the MOH website for more information about the work they do in Haiti. www.mohhaiti.org

Tonight I am heading to another meeting with my Haiti team. Please pray for us as we prepare for this adventure!
