WOW! You may know by now that our friends and missionaries, Byron, Shelley, Sue, and those who were serving with them from the States are safe. It was covered in a news report here. If you watch closely, you will see them at 29-31 seconds in. But that is only part of the story. Below …

Did God Leave Haiti?
Ro 12:15 (NIV2011) Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. This blog I wrote for the church just last Friday, but I thought it wise to shoot it out here as well. Above is one of my favorite Haiti pictures, with my daughter Megan and one of the school kids. Can you …
3 Reasons to Go to Haiti
I just got back from Haiti a couple of days ago. We were asked not to post when or where we were going, as that information on social media can make you a target when you arrive. Later this week I'd like to post some things about our trip there, especially about what we learned …
God and Luck
JoLynn and I enjoy the monthly hot date at Costco. Usually, we pull in on a weekend and the place is packed. Still, I’ll find a nice spot close to the handicapped parking. She says, with jealous disdain, “You’re so lucky.” I reply, “Yeah, well, I had my devotions.” Is God like that? Does he …

Haiti TODAY, Oct 27, 2011
Not long after I wrote the blog below this one (What Can YOU Do For Haiti?), Sue, a friend from our ministry in Haiti, wrote me, giving a fascinating "HAITI TODAY" update she said I could share. I'll divide her correspondence into two sections. 1) Haiti for me. 2) Haiti for everyone. Her writing, (some …
What Can YOU Do For Haiti?
Having traveled to Haiti most every year since 2007, several folks have been asking me how they can help. I’m no Haitian expert, but we do have a lot of friends and contacts there. Here’s what I know, followed with some safe ways to help. The church our mission supports, Maranatha Children’s Ministries in Port-au-Prince …
