This is a continuation of a story we have been telling over the past few weeks, so if you have not been keeping up, please click here for Part 1 or click here for Part 2 so that this will make sense. After the meeting, we knew we needed to do something, but we were […]
So after 3 long days of hiding our girl we were told her cousin had finally arrived. I don’t think Matt mentioned but we tried to schedule this meeting about 3 other times over the course of the last few days. Audancin repeatedly would not show up for the meetings (and we had Pastor Herold […]
Before I start the blog, please click here if you have not read part 1 so that you can catch up. So our girl’s cousin and her husband came to the meeting along with a local pastor named Pastor Lamentation that we had only met once. A side story is that this is the pastor […]
We thought it would be good for everyone to get the story from both Matt and my perspective. I will pick up at the same point Matt did yesterday. We arrived back to Haiti on March 13 after a few weeks in the states. March 14 started 3 weeks of back-to-back American teams coming down […]
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 […]
