The following is a letter from FBC Manasquan inviting churches to join them in a mission trip to Haiti this summer. They will be going to Grand Goave to build rubble homes. It is a wonderful opportunity and I encourage you to contact Rev. Gratzel for more information.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

A few weeks ago we sent out a mailing to the churches in the Manasquan Area Ministerium and in the North Shore Association of American Baptist Churches about our upcoming trip to Haiti in July of 2012. Our hope is to bring a 30 member team with us to Haiti including 10 folks from FBC, 10 folks from our community and 10 folks from ABC North Shore churches.

We're ready to get the ball rolling and I wanted to extend an invitation for you to share with any of your interested members to join us for some upcoming meetings about the trip. (We also have team members who would be willing to come to your church and meet with the apppropriate missions committees.) On January 8 at 12:00 noon our FBC Mission team will be making a presentation at First Baptist Church of Manasquan about our trip.

On January 22 at 12: 15 we will be having the first of our monthly team meetings for the trip. Subsequent meetings will be on the third Sunday of each month and we could adjust the time to better fit team members Anyone interested in joining our team is welcomed to come to either meeting (or both).

Please feel free to share my contact information with anyone who might have an interest.
