Early this morning most of our team hiked to the first fort. The views from there are of the Artribonite Valley and the town of Dessalines. Gorgeous! When we arrived there were quite a few people there praying and later singing. It was a beautiful time listening to their prayers, praise and worship. The pastor […]

Encouragement on Day 2
Dear Friends, We just finished our second day of Kid’s Camp. It was a little crazy today, but the kids had so much fun. Noah tired them out by playing a Haitian version of Sharks and Minnows. It was hilarious to watch them. The kids made cross necklaces with beads, learned about the crucifixion, and […]

February Trip Log: We made it up!
I have tried like crazy to get things out to you all, but there has been literally no signal. Finally today Harley and I climbed the mountains up toward the ridge overlooking Kawo for about 45 minutes, and now I have a bit of signal. Thursday: We arrived safely in about 6 hours. Everyone […]
