UPDATE 7 A brief update in the few minutes I have before work… The team was planning to be up at 4:30 and hitting the trail as soon as tents were taken down and everything packed up. Which means they are hiking down as I type. It is a faster journey home, being nearly all downhill, […]
Day #6: Goat stew with intestines and brain for breakfast!
UPDATE 6 Tony texted this morning before the day really got going… He said there was another church service last night at 9pm with singing and dancing that went late. Sounds like it made for a late night for them so they were a bit tired this morning. Nothing new, huh? It also rained last […]
Day #5, part b: The team makes history in one small corner of Haiti
UPDATE 5, part B! Tony texted this afternoon to share a brief update on the day’s adventures… After a great first half of the day spent with the school kids and continuing to gather updated info, the team took a 6 mile round trip hike to visit a daughter and granddaughter church of Kawo. This […]
Day #5: A final day full of joys and challenges!
UPDATE 5 Tony sent a text early this morning before the day got hectic…. He said there was a church service last night with wonderful worship late into the evening. They got good sleep and woke to a cool morning and a Haitian friend Lukman, worshiping on his guitar with a few English songs he […]
Day #4: Photos, construction, weaving, visiting…
UPDATE 4 The team had a very busy day! Part of the group spent the day helping Dixie document the info for the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade kids. They took photos of each child as well. The guys on the team spent the day working alongside some of the Haitian men getting posts and […]
Day #3: Mountains conquered!
UPDATE 3 I know many of us were awaiting news that the team made that treacherous hike up the mountains to Kawo yesterday…. only to not hear anything last night! I’m sorry, friends! I also was in suspense, but went to bed without news. It didn’t come in till about 11:30pm, BUT it was GOOD news to […]
Day #2: A proverb: “Mountains beyond mountains…”
Tony texted this afternoon to say that the team arrived in Dessalines/Nan wo safe and sound with no hassle. Unfortunately, the consul was closed today so Dixie, Asher and Louinet were unable to attempt any more progress towards getting Louinet a visa. After arriving in Nan wo, the team visited the orphanage where Dixie and […]
Lace up your boots… we’re going for a hike!
Being so soon on the heals of the January trip, you may or may not be aware that another team has already left for (and arrived!) in Haiti! That’s right! Dixie has taken another team down to Haiti with the purpose of making the long, grueling, breathtaking hike up the mountains to Hope in Haiti’s school […]
Greetings from Haiti
August 1st – Port au Prince Greetings from Haiti! After spending a week in Nan Wo with Pastor Louinet and the camp kids, we are excited and worn out. Excited for what God is doing in the lives of the Haitian youth we worked with, and tired because of the amount of energy it took. […]
Team in Haiti
We are alive and very well and very tired in Port-au-Prince. We head north to Dessalines tomorrow morning and will be off the radar for the next week. Thanks so much, friends, for the prayers that sustain us as we go!! God is good. Always.
