Meet Travis


Last year I flew down to Haiti with 15 other students and adults for my first mission trip outside of the US. That trip was one of the most impactful 10 days of my life—so much so that when I returned to Cary after that trip, I couldn’t hold back my desire to go back. I’m leading this trip to Haiti with a great group of people. Each one of us has a different story, a different walk of life, and different reasons for wanting to go. The best part though is seeing how each one of our stories is fitting into the bigger plan God has for our group and trip.

I lose myself every time I think about this trip and how much potential it has to change our lives. We will be doing something totally different than my first trip’s team as we are working on land preparation for the building plans for the Haitian Children’s Home. This first trip has opened my eyes to so much more than the small bubble of a life I live in Cary, North Carolina. I’m excited to see change in our group members, and to be able to grow in a new leadership experience.

Please be praying for each of us in our preparation and support raising. Pray for our emotions, our physical strength, our authenticity as a group, and pray most of all for change. Thanks for everything you are doing and will do to support our team.
We’ll keep you updated on our trip progress every step of the way, so stay tuned. Until then—Grace & Peace.
