Jenny Cramer



Hello all, my name is Jenny and I am a life long giver and smile generator!  I am a mother of a 10 year old boy and a 2.5 year old girl.  I love adventures, knitting, snow, tea, quiet evenings, solutions to problems and contemplating the world and God's plan for me in it.  I work as a special education teacher in Minneapolis with middle school aged girls who have had difficult experiences in their schooling career thus far.  The work is intense and high energy and never dull!  We learn a lot from one another.  This is my first time traveling with a group to be the hands and feet of God.  I am grateful for the opportunity to be of selfless service in a non-imposing, gentle and lasting way for those in need of help.  I am grateful for the guidance of friends in this journey!  God is good.

Rick Bode


1 Peter 4:10  -Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

My name is Rick Bode. My wife, Sherri, and I have three girls and are expecting another soon. My hope for this trip is that God would humble me and produce in me a servants heart, as Jesus is our greatest example. To be a witness of Christ's love to everyone we encounter while there and a witness of the things God is accomplishing through Healing Haiti back home.

I am a school psychologist working with students with significant mental health needs in Minneapolis Public Schools.  My husband Chris and I are blessed with three beautiful and loving children, two boys (ages 7 and 9) and one spunky little girl (age 2).  I am excited to travel to Haiti with my brother and sister-in-law, as well as a dear friend and colleague of mine, who is also leaving her family and our work at Minneapolis Public Schools to serve the people in Haiti. I look forward to helping those in need in Haiti, as well as exploring what God has in store for me and how I can best serve others.
