Yesterday Matt covered in such detail what went on between Wednesday and Saturday of that week that I decided to share something different today. About a month ago, I read Psalm 12 and would like to share it in light of everything that has been going on with us, with the kids, and with Audancin: […]
In the midst of our prayers, confusion, and fears, we saw God do something amazing. We had no idea what to do next but God already had a plan in mind. After the first couple of days doing meals and lessons at Hope Rising, Cara mentioned to me the thought of moving the kids temporarily […]
So we had a place we could now feed the kids and still get them some tutoring each day after school. Because we now knew Audancin was capable of anything, we were not comfortable bringing the kids into Hope Rising without some kind of consent from parents or family members. Our girl’s cousin immediately got […]
So the day after the meeting with our girl’s family, we went back up to the orphanage like normal. Everyday for the last year we have gone up at 5:45am, done breakfast with the kids, then dropped them off at school. Many of the kids were still very standoffish toward us. We came home, sat […]

We thought it would be good for everyone to get the story from both Matt and my perspective. I will pick up at the same point Matt did yesterday. We arrived back to Haiti on March 13 after a few weeks in the states. March 14 started 3 weeks of back-to-back American teams coming down […]
We are going to take the next few days to update everyone about how we haved ended up moving our children to a new place, the Hope Rising Campus. The past 2 weeks have been crazy (even for Haiti), but we are now in a new place where our kids are safe. There are still a […]
I thought that since the last couple of blog posts were so serious in nature, it was a good time for a light-hearted post today. I want to describe to you the process that we have gone through for getting a Haitian driver’s license. First of all, there’s a guy here at Christianville who just […]
The last few weeks down in Haiti have been some of our most difficult yet for a lot of reasons. In the midst of this, there have been quite a few potential decisions that have come up and that we have been praying through as we seek after GOD’s guidance. During this same time I […]
A few weeks ago Jess and I started a chronological reading plan where we will finish the Bible in one year, and that plan has led us to the book of Job. Job can either be one of the simplest books of the Bible (because of its narrow focus) or one of the more difficult […]
This past week we had a team come down from FBC LaGrange, and that team included my (Matt) parents Bill and Mike (my Mom) Bush. There are a lot of things that we will talk about and blog about from the past 3 weeks because we have had 3 different teams and we want to […]
