Have you ever noticed what a difference perspective makes in how we view things? I think about this sometimes as I am driving down the road (please don’t think this is too strange, it is just how my mind works) in the rain. If I were to stare at just one drop of water on […]
As many of you know, All Things New recently participated in One Spark here in Jacksonville last week and it was a huge success for our organization. We want to thank each of you who came out to volunteer, vote, or donate to our cause. Most of you saw our repeated communications on social media, […]
I am going to do the same thing Jessica did and just write about our day today from my own perspective… We started this morning by waking up at 5:15 and heading out. In the mornings, I drive our black JMC (we think that stands for Jianling Motor Company but we’re not sure) about 3.5 […]
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 […]
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 […]
After a full year of looking forward to being full-time with All Things New, the time has finally come! We are in Haiti for the next month and it will be our longest stay to date. So far, our time here has been great. We have a nice house that Christianville is allowing us to […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
There is so much going on with All Things New right now, I thought I would take some time to just let you guys know some of the things that are happening. GOD has blessed this ministry so much it is even hard to explain, but with that said, there is still so much more […]
