Truck update...

Many of you have asked about the truck repairs and expressed an interest in helping out with the costs.  Thank you!!!  We were able to pay for the new radiator and we also got an estimate this weekend of ~$2000 for all the repairs needed.




There are several ways to contribute if you would like to help with the cost of the repairs. You can mail a check to LifeBridge Church, Attn: Meghan Petyak, 521 Gluckstadt Road, Madison, MS 39110 and note your designation in the memo line of your check. 

You can also make a contribution on the church website: http://mylifebridge.com/onlinegiving. There is a line listed for Haiti Missionary Support.  Both of these methods are tax deductible and will be sent to us by the church.

The third option is to wire money directly to us in Haiti. We have found that MoneyGram is the most reliable service for wiring money from the states to Haiti.  There is a MoneyGram office in most Wal-Mart stores, but please note they only accept cash. You can also send it online at www.moneygram.com. There is a transfer fee for both methods but it is typically cheaper at Wal-Mart than it is online (2% vs 6%). They have a small form that you will need to fill out in order to process the transfer. The information they will need is our name and phone number.  John will most likely be the one picking it up so use his name, please.  We can send you our phone number privately (email us @ circlinghaiti@gmail.com)  or you can get it from Meghan Petyak @ LifeBridge Church via email: meghan@mylifebridge.com or phone: 601.605.LIFE[5433]. 

After the transaction is complete, you will receive a transaction number.  We will have to have the transaction number and amount in order to retrieve the money.  You can email us this information or text us the amount transferred and the transaction number.  

The guy came highly recommended and seems to be very proficient and knowledgeable.  He came back this morning to see if we wanted him to take the truck.

We will continue to keep you updated and as always, we covet your prayers!!!

  1. If you do not need a tax deduction, you may also deposit into an account that my parents set up and manage for us in McHenry, MS. Feel free to contact us for the account information.
