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 …
Would You Like to Live Off the Grid? Do You Like Kids? HAVE I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!
Imagine this for a minute… Imagine having no city water or sewer, but you do have an electric-powered well and a septic tank. You can’t drink the water because it is dangerously polluted, so you use it for bathing and order your drinking water delivered. You have no dependable city power, but you do have …
What Can YOU Do For Haiti?

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. We added some xtra-biblical events like crawling backwards and falling into the pool. Good fun. …
Missionaries Lie
Haiti June 22, 2019 Missionaries Lie. That or I’m a bit slow in understanding. It did take me 8 years to get that 4-year-degree. THE GOOD When the missionaries say “English Camp,” they are referring to the entire camp, from training of leaders through the end of camp. I didn’t realize that. So this coming …
What’s Up With Haiti?
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 …
Did God Move Us to Haiti?
We moved. Is God laughing? We downsized, but not having enough room for kids to move back in with us wasn’t the main reason for moving. I’m now walking distance to work (1.1mi), but I’m still so lazy I drive. The new place has more land. I’m not sure why. How much sand without an …
Groan
Read through without groaning. I can’t. I was wondering, why would a single, white gal from the states move to the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere? It’s dangerous. It’s hot. It stinks. You take one-step off the plane and you groan. That’s the reason. In Mk 7:31-37 Jesus is moved by a mans suffering, …
