As many of you know, we have been in the process of adoption for almost 3 years now. We began this process prior to accepting GOD’s call to start and run All Things New and to move to Haiti to take care of our children. It has been a long road (to read our adoption story, […]
When we came back from spending a month in the states, one of the best new things we drove up to was a new basketball court! We had a generous donation made to cover the cost of the slab, the goals, and a couple of new basketballs, and we drove up to see the new […]
It has been a while since we have posted a “day in the life” blog, but we like to do it from time to time to give everyone a little taste of what life can be like here. Of course we tend to choose the slightly more eventful days, but it is not a huge […]
Many of you may be wondering why we have said, on numerous occasions, we need more funding now than ever. I want to talk about the biggest reason for this being the case…New Hires! We have had to make multiple new hires for our children and for the ministry to function well. I can assure […]

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 […]
I am writing this from Haiti rather than from America like I initially thought. We are trying to catch back up on blogging after taking almost a full month break in December (which was worth it) as we tried to spend time with family, catch up with friends, and do some fundraising around the end […]
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. […]
Growing up it was well known around my house that I strongly disliked…ok hated change. Change bothered me so much in fact, that I can remember my parents replacing chairs around our kitchen table and me feeling upset and sad over the loss of the old chairs….crazy I know. With that being said, I find […]
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 […]
