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 […]
This is a continuation of a story we have been telling over the past few weeks, so if you have not been keeping up, please click here for Part 1 or click here for Part 2 so that this will make sense. After the meeting, we knew we needed to do something, but we were […]
So after 3 long days of hiding our girl we were told her cousin had finally arrived. I don’t think Matt mentioned but we tried to schedule this meeting about 3 other times over the course of the last few days. Audancin repeatedly would not show up for the meetings (and we had Pastor Herold […]
Before I start the blog, please click here if you have not read part 1 so that you can catch up. So our girl’s cousin and her husband came to the meeting along with a local pastor named Pastor Lamentation that we had only met once. A side story is that this is the pastor […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It has been a couple of weeks since our last blog, but we have had two wonderful teams come down the past 2 weeks and we have been really busy hanging out with them and working with them as they shared the love of Christ down here in Haiti. We have another team coming this […]
A little while ago I bought a daily Bible Study book about prayer because I wanted some help with that part of my relationship with Christ. It was a guy whose works I have read before, and while I don’t usually use books like this, it was something that I needed at the time. It […]
We have recently gone through a very subtle but very necessary and important transition at All Things New. I want to first describe what we have accomplished, why we have accomplished it, and how it is different than what we thought we were going to do when we started All Things New 2 years ago. […]
I (Matt) wanted to share with you an interesting experience I had yesterday. I need to preface this post with the fact that recently I had a crown fall out and I was having some pain in 2 of my teeth for the past few weeks. So, I decided to set an appointment at the […]
