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 […]
As many of you know, we just got back from a week long trip to Haiti with a team of 12. This last trip was a blast! We took my parents, Jessica’s parents, my sister and brother-in-law, Jared and Natalie Nobles, and Chase and Angela Covington. We wanted to show our friends and family what […]
The past few weeks seem to have been really difficult for some reason. As many of you know, my grandfather (Dang Dang as we affectionately called him) passed away a little over a week ago. It wasn’t sudden, and he had a long and wonderful life, but it was still tough. We were very close […]
I recently began reading through and studying the book of Isaiah. There was no epiphany or big spiritual reason why I began to study the book, I was actually in the midst of going through the New Testament (I was in Luke) when I left my notebook in St. Simons, GA on a recent trip […]
If you have not had a chance to read our blog from Tuesday, please click here. The way that Jess described the difficulty of coming home and the difficulty of the daily routine of the children that we love will really help you to understand what GOD is leading us to do. I am going […]
A couple of weeks ago we had our first fundraising dinner for All Things New. One of our advisory team members, Karen Whalen, came up with this idea for people who believe in this ministry to help get our name to as many people as possible. The idea is simple. A family expresses their desire […]
I have to say, this is the question that we are asked more often than any other…”When will you guys move down to Haiti?” I’m not sure if the implication is something like, “I can’t wait until you guys are out of the country” or if people are just curious as to when we are […]
Every time we go down to Haiti, it is clearer and clearer that GOD is calling us there. It was really difficult to come back this time with so many things up in the air for our kids, but we know that GOD is working. Also, we now have another couple, Jacob and Amy Kelley, […]
This coming Monday we are heading back down to Haiti for 5 days. It is a very short but necessary trip. Many of you have been praying for our kids to get into Christianville school, and that is the purpose of this trip. To make sure that all paperwork, money, and any other logistical issue […]
Jess and I talk about how much we love these kids all of the time. It is funny how GOD has placed such a desire on our hearts to be there with them, take care of them, and most of all to love them. I can’t imagine how this happens. How GOD, at the exact […]
One of the next big things that we need is to purchase land in Haiti. This is much easier said than done (as are most things). It is not the same as it is in America. You can go to a title insurance company, or to a mortgage agency or lawyer and be pretty confident […]
