This past Friday Night was an incredible night for All Things New and we had a blast being there with all of you who were able to make it. This was our 5th Jacksonville Fundraiser and our first time with a new format that we called “A Taste of Haiti” and being hosted by Deerwood […]
One of the best ways that you could partner with All Things New in 2018 is by attending our Jacksonville Fundraiser. The first thing I want to say about this event is that it is going to be a blast. We are going to celebrate with a Haitian festival including Haitian food, entertainment, a live […]
Over the next couple of weeks please check back often for updates on All Things New (assuming our Internet does ok in Haiti). We plan on reviewing the past year, vision casting for the future, and just saying thank you for all of the ways that you have helped All Things New over the past […]
I know I said I would write the next blog about our 2 big annual fundraisers, but I saw a slogan on the sign of a national charity and I had to get my thoughts about it down on paper. I am not sure if it was just a Christmas slogan or if it is […]
The main point of this blog…Come to the LaGrange Fundraiser this coming Sunday night at 5:00pm at FBC LaGrange! With everything that is been going on lately (my trip to Haitian court, Hurricane Matthew, etc.) some of our fundraising initiatives while we are home were pushed to the back burner for a while. Now that […]
I want to write a follow-up blog to the one I wrote about emergency aid and disaster relief. Emergency aid is absolutely necessary and it is the first step, but the process to go from emergency aid to relief to rebuilding to normalcy is a long and difficult road. I also want to clarify some […]
You may be wondering why we haven’t given you any updates on the kids yet, and I promise they are coming. We have some great pictures of Sophie with the kids (I even got one of Sophie holding Dinna’s face and kissing her right on the lips), our first day of school was yesterday, we have […]
If you have spent any time volunteering with a nonprofit, working for an organization that had to raise funds to survive, or if you support a ministry or charity then you know that fundraising is and will always be necessary. I sometimes wonder if people see us coming and want to run the other way […]
In this blog, I want to talk about some of the difficulties of raising funds for a non-profit. I will follow this blog up with one that focuses more thoroughly on the specific needs and issues of All Things New, but I wanted to start with some general fundraising difficulties that most nonprofits face. These […]
I want to start this post off by giving a disclaimer about the title…I do not necessarily think you have to choose between buildings and people. Sometimes you do, but that is not the point of the blog. I simply want to talk about how GOD has changed the direction of All Things New over […]
First of all, I wanted to remind everyone of a very important blog series that we are about to start. In the next couple of weeks, you will begin to see blog posts about each of our children. We are hoping to use these blog posts to give each of our sponsors and supporters a […]
Yesterday here in Haiti was one of those days that when we got to the end of it we turned to each other and said “Can you believe we got all of that done today”. So I figured that is worth a blog. Here is our day yesterday… Woke up at 6:00am. My goal was […]
