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 […]
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 […]
We go back to Haiti early Friday morning, and we can’t wait. It has been a great time back in the states for the last month, and we have done a lot of things that we needed and wanted to do. I just wanted to take some time to recap our time here and to […]
Things almost never go how you want them to. Please do not read this blog and think I am complaining about anything. I know how blessed we are and I know that we have more than most people in the world. I am just making a general observation based on what tends to happen in […]
I wanted to take some time to talk about our sponsorship program. We started this program in March 2012 even before All Things New existed as a way for our children to be taken care of. Our initial sponsorship program consisted primarily of members of RiverTown Church, and it did not take us long to […]
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 […]
