Zach Ashely of St Paul Lutheran most recently got home from Haiti with the mission team from Trinity Lutheran. They had arrived to volunteer at the orphange and the earhquake hit the next day. Zach came out on Saturday to volunteer with Care-A-Van Ministries. . He has a love for children and helping people. He said he can't wait to go back to Haiti to be a blessing to others.
Lisa Franclemont is a member of Highpoint church and works at United Memorial Medical Center in the Cancer services program. Lisa herself is a walking miracle. Many people were praying for Lisa after she was struck by a car in August of 2009. She lost her right kidney, had a broken wrist, torn rotator cuff, and multiple fractures of her pelvis. You would never have known it to see her wandering around as she was volunteering with Care-A-Van ministries on Saturday morning visiting with the people and taking their blood pressure.
LeeAnn Babirad-Burns had a miracle of her own as well. LeeAnn had heart surgery last February. She had to be off work for 8 months. During this time is when Lisa needed extra loving care after arriving home from her injuries and LeeAnn was able to be there to help her out. These young ladies friendship started about 3 years ago. Lisa has been an inspiration to LeeAnn and now LeeAnn is currently enrolled in college to be a nurse.
These three volunteers were a blessing to the 48 families with 156 family members that received groceries and prayer on Saturday morning.
