Tuesday We made it to Miami and are now boarding plane for Port. Great team with a mighty God going before us! Gotta go! Afternoon: Well, I guess you would call this day 2, as we left late last night. We have been resting some this afternoon in the kitchen area of Byron and Shelley’s […]
Heads up, the Fantastic Four are departing!
We have a team of four leaving Monday that will be hiking into the the desolate mountains of the Kawo region. We will be taking pictures and updating information for about 300 kids. Also, we are bringing up–can you believe it–a sewing machine that can be operated by a crank lever on the right side […]
Monday trip log: journeying home
We spent the day at the beach. Wonderful!!! Marla from Ebeneezer Glenn Orphanage took us to Moulin Sur Mer and stayed with us some of the day and then went back home. Byron from Maranatha Children’s Ministries picked us up and we are now in Port with the Tluceks. I love the friendship we’ve developed […]
Sunday Trip Log: Pa za pa.
A Haitian saying “pa za pa” tells the story of Hope In Haiti in more ways then we know. Translated, “pa za pa” means “step by step.” Eleven years ago Dixie Montgomery and several others had a dream to help the poor children of Haiti overcome their depressing situation of inherited poverty. They never would […]
Saturday trip log: rain in the valley, sorrow in the mountains.
What a week to have an outreach. We have had rain all this week, which is not normal in the month of January. This is the ‘dry’ season, but things continue to look green due to the unusual rains. During the Kwazod (Outreach) last night (Friday) the rain poured down when we arrived after dinner. […]
Friday trip log… stopping the rains!
Greetings from Haiti. Last night’s outreach was well attended with around 1500-2000 people. How do you count the masses? Pastor Louinet decided this year to have the meetings in the city’s soccer field (terran). They built a large stage, hung lights and put up huge speakers. The funny thing is, the stage was facing the […]
Trip log: Thursday
Our night was long and not as quiet as the one before. Throughout the night Harley thought he heard water running and thought the downstairs toilet was possibly running our water tank dry. It was not running water but voodoo drums in the distance…. always a good reminder why we have invested ourselves here outside […]
Going somewhere different
After a Monday night departure, the team arrived safely in Miami Tuesday morning and then eventually caught their connection to Haiti. Travel weary and hopeful, they caught their prearranged ride to Nan wo and trekked into the interior of the island. By 7pm they had made it. “We were all very hot and tired, but […]
Leaving soon: a team ready to teach.
As the first ticks of the new year have gone by, a small group of individuals have moved from celebration to preparation. Four men and one woman are packing and re-packing their bags, getting ready for a trip into the nation of Haiti, where they will serve, teach, and share the Hope of the Gospel […]
