  • 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…

  • 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…
