Jason ColeJason grew up attending RFA church. He met his wife Lindsey there. They have been married for 12 years. Before having children of their own they were involved in children's ministry and served as missionary associates through the Assemblies of God in Kosovo from February 2010 - June 2011. They returned to the U.S. for the birth of their first child, Raleigh Daniel, then moved to Knoxville, TN. They moved back to Raleigh in the fall of 2013, just in time for the birth of their second child, Liberty Pristine. This will be Jason's second trip to Haiti. His first trip was last year.

I have been at RFA church for 8 years. This is a picture of me and Caleb from a previous mission trip to Haiti. The Lord put the nation of Haiti on my heart many years ago. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to serve and love the children of Haiti. I can't wait to find out what God has planned for our team!

I am the Youth Pastor The Church On The Boulevard in Baltimore, MD. I got saved in 2004. I have never been on a mission trip or even outside of the country. During a teen retreat I was leading this past summer, I was given the opportunity to go on this mission trip to Haiti by an invitation from Pastor Chris Connell. I took it! I am excited to see what God has planned for Haiti and for me!

Camille Brooks
I have been blessed with a giving spirit and I can honestly say I have displayed acts of kindness and care since I was 3 years old. Since then it has been my mission to help people. This will be my first mission trip. "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest." Matt 9:37-38
I have heard His call and am blessed to serve the children of Haiti.

"My family and I moved to Raleigh in December 2015 and found a church family at RFA immediately. My wife and I lead a small group RFApex and I volunteer with RFA Creative doing photography and videography. I am excited to go on this trip with RFA and was overwhelmed by prayer and support to be able to go on this trip from family and friends and churches that we have been blessed to have relationships with through the years."
