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 …
(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 …
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. We added some xtra-biblical events like crawling backwards and falling into the pool. Good fun. …
Haiti June 23, 2019 Today is Sunday. I suppose you knew that. It’s about 8am here--something you didn't know. We don’t know yet if we will be going to church. The roads may be safe, or not, in that part of town today. We’ll wait for reports to come in before traveling. Yesterday was a …

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 …
Lately I’ve been getting asked, “Are you going back to Haiti this year?” The short answer, yes. I hope to bring a tiny group to Haiti this June, if God allows. And, if you want to give to that endeavor, that information is at the end of this blog. Mostly, this year especially, we covet …
This update just in from our Missionaries in Port-au-Prince. February 17, 2019 Celebrating Milestones and Facing Crisis This is Gaelle. (photo from English Camp 2018) She is one of five children, soon to be six. Gaelle has now missed 7 days of school: meals, vitamins, snacks, Bible stories & play time. We are thankful that …
Thanks to so many who supported our trip to Haiti this year. I went early with a few, and here are 3 things that pretty much could only happen there... 1: Up to my armpits. We had a couple of toilets we couldn’t get to flush correctly. One was the toilet the 96 too-young-to-aim …
