We received word today that some of our dear friends in Haiti are suffering from illness. Pastor Louinet, who works relentlessly for our schools and local churches in Haiti, has come down with an unknown ailment that keeps him in constant stomach pain. Unable to eat and experiencing a strange rash on his face, Pastor […]
This Christmas, you can bring the story of Jesus Christ to a young Haitian child. For a young nine-year old in rural Haiti, having a book that is all your own is a special gift in and of itself. Having a book that tells the most important message there ever was would be a God-send, […]
Our Hope in Haiti team arrived home late Friday night, weary travelers but thankful to have made it home and to see loved ones. Pastor Mike wrote up an excellent quick recap of the trip that I definitely encourage you to read. There is also a link to a bunch of great photos. Check out […]
08/23/12 I got one final phone call from Haiti this evening. Dixie called from Port au Prince where they had just arrived after a wonderful, relaxing, beautiful day on the beach. Tonight the group will rest up in the comfort of Byron and Shelley’s home. They are excited to head home tomorrow! Continue to pray […]

What a full day for our team! Dixie said camp was good. Crazy, but good. With probably close to 200 kids attending, the culture and language differences, the heat and so much more, one can only imagine! 🙂 Even after camp was over for the day, the team played with the several children who stick […]
Dixie (my mom) actually CALLED me today from Pastor Louinet’s phone! It was great to hear her voice (though muffled and sounding very distant) and to hear that all is going well. It has been a pretty laid back day for the team and something of a day of rest and time to relax before […]
What would you think if you showed up for the first day of school and the teacher told you that you’d have to memorize everything on the chalkboard because there are having to do without pencils and paper? This year we have a great need for more school supplies for our Nan wo and Kawo […]
