We are getting ready to go back to Haiti on Monday, and we are really excited to see our kids and beginning the process of getting them into the school that we know is best for them. But as I was thinking about getting back to Haiti I began to also think about the process […]
This coming Monday we are heading back down to Haiti for 5 days. It is a very short but necessary trip. Many of you have been praying for our kids to get into Christianville school, and that is the purpose of this trip. To make sure that all paperwork, money, and any other logistical issue […]
Have you ever looked back at the last couple of months of your life and just thought about how busy everything was. We just finished June and July with a really crazy schedule. I took the youth to Six Flags at the beginning of June, followed by Jessica’s last week of school, followed by a […]
First of all, it is important for everyone who reads this to understand how important our sponsorship program is to us for so many different reasons. The main reason is that our sponsorship program brings together the kids that we love with other people here that will love them too. That is such an awesome […]
There are a lot of really incredible things that are going on in our lives. As we are in the beginning stages of getting down to Haiti to run this orphanage and to be there with our kids, it seems like there is always something to do. And in the midst of that, this summer, […]
Just so you know, the kids are doing great! They are looking more and more healthy each time we see them, and we love them more and more each time we go down! They are so awesome, sweet, caring, and just incredible. I wish everyone who was reading this could meet them. There is a […]
So, we just got back from Haiti this past Thursday after a couple of weeks being down there. This trip was great in so many ways. We took a team down for the first week and then Jess and I stayed for an extra week to try and get some things accomplished that we have […]

Why is it so hard for so many of us to trust other people? I’ve noticed this idea before in the simple act of holding a door open for the person behind me. Almost every time I do, that person feels it necessary to place their hands on the door presumably just in case I […]
As we proceed both with an international adoption and starting an orphanage in Haiti, the idea of faith has been extremely vital to everything we do. When I have preached at RiverTown Church on a few different occasions, I will occasionally say something like, “There are some topics that I come from a position of […]
Have you ever noticed how faith can be so easy and so hard at the same time? All the time I try to think and say that I have faith that GOD will bring our kids to us in His timing, and logically that makes sense. Logically, it even makes sense that GOD is doing […]
I was just talking to a friend of mine that I haven’t talked to in a while, and we were just catching up a little, and of course the subject turned to Haiti. I started telling him about how much work we had done, how much more work we still have to do, and then […]
