Almost Home
Haiti, Thursday Night June 28, 2019 It feels weird to be packing up to go home already. Here is a short list of what I can remember that we did or took part in during English Camp Leadership Training. But first… There are two big needs here. Sue’s 2003 Rav4 is done for. The head …
10 Things that Only Happen in Haiti
(mostly) Only in Haiti… Do people dance in the heat. I get dancing in the rain, but around here, when anyone is singing dancing is the norm. Maybe it isn’t the heat that stops me joining in, maybe I was Baptist too long. Are car horns more necessary than mirrors. 3. Do the dogs love …
Voodoo Caesarian
HAITI TRIP, June 24, 2019 What a fun day! I got to tell an opening assembly Bible story—chose the one about King David’s 3 friends sneaking into Bethlehem to get him a glass of water while others acted it out.

The Man Named Jabez
Haiti June 21, 2019 Yesterday I had the most amazing conversation. I met Jabez, a man from India living in Haiti. Jabez came to Christ in India. From there he immigrated to the States for higher education. While in Bible School for his undergrad, he married a Haitian gal—apologies I forget her name. Jabez went …
Believe Me
BELIEVE ME: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly I bought this book on the belief that it was a balanced approach to help evangelicals like me deal with the bi-polar Trump presidency. I think many of us have questions like… “How can I reject President Trump’s Junior High name calling, and yet support his …
