I don’t know how many of you remember a blog that I posted a while ago about a dental experience I had here in Haiti a few months ago, but if you missed it, click here to read about it. That experience was much different than others I have had in the states, and today […]
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 […]
Matt and I were talking the day we traveled back to Haiti and thought it might make a fun blog so here goes. We traveled back last Saturday, January 3. I woke up at 3:00am making sure to give myself plenty of time to take the last hot shower for quite a while. Matt got […]
This is the last blog for the week, and next week we plan on going back to our normal 1-2 per week. Thanks so much for reading and keeping up with our ministry. I cannot say enough how encouraging it is to have you behind us and how much we need and covet your prayers. […]
I know that we have written a lot about One Spark over social media for the past couple of weeks. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew why this was an important event for us before it begins on Wednesday of this week. First of all, here are some important things to know: […]
I have experienced something the past few weeks that I have just been able to put my finger on. I have probably experienced it before, but living here for the past month I think it has become very evident to me. I have become so aware of intense physical needs among people that live around […]
Don’t go to Haiti unless you want to change the way you think about everything in your life. Nobody told me that last year, and I’m glad they didn’t. I just got back several weeks ago from my second trip to Haiti and it finds a way into every area of your life. Through my […]
Hopefully each of you guys read this post that Jess made last week about some things that she has seen here that we never thought we would see. If you have not, you should click the link and read it, it is very interesting, funny, and sad at the same time. Anyway, with that said, […]
First of all, this Jessica, not Matt. I am 31 years old and in the process of moving to Haiti to run an orphanage. Over the last two years we have been to Haiti about 13 times. Most of these trips have been for a week or 2 at a time and right now we […]
I have to be honest about something to start with…I did go shopping on Black Friday. I am not necessarily against Black Friday in general, but it is definitely not my favorite day of the year by any means. It is a tradition for my family in LaGrange for us to go either to Newnan […]
It has been a while since we have posted a new blog, and we apologize for that! There is so much going on, it is sometimes difficult to do everything that we would like. Today, I am going to take some time to just let everyone know of the many changes coming. Beginning this ministry […]
There are so many things going on right now that can only be explained by the grace of GOD! Some things that have happened with All Things New recently are just incredible, and there are also some events in our personal lives that GOD is just showing us His love mightily. This post is going […]
