Yesterday I told you the story about Gladine when we watched Jumanji together, so today I figured we should do an older kids story. We consider our older kids to be the ones that are 12 and older and 12 out of our 19 children fall into this age range now. The truth is that […]
Over the next few days, I am going to tell you guys some of the fun, cute, and difficult stories that have happened here over the past couple of weeks. If you have kids, then you know that there could be many stories each day told about the funny things they have done or said, […]
It has been a really busy last few weeks here in Haiti for a variety of reasons, but I wanted to take some time now to tell some of the recent stories about our kids. On any given day, if I were to take the time to write it down, I could probably have at […]
In the last blog, I talked about why I believe job creation is the biggest physical need in Gressier, Haiti. In this blog I want to tell you some of my initial thoughts on what I believe will help, what I believe will not help, and how I feel like All Things New can get […]
I am sitting here thinking about how crazy the past week has been and I just realized that it has been exactly one week since I arrived back in Haiti. That means it has been 1 week since I have seen my wife and daughter, 1 week since I began firming up plans for which houses […]
I started this blog while I was sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport and I am now finishing it as I sit waiting at jury duty in Jacksonville. I was basically finished with it in Fort Lauderdale when the airport lost wifi. That is not that big of a deal, usually I just copy and […]

As you probably know, we have been introducing our readers to each of our children through a series of blogs aimed at describing each child in a way that the reader gets to “know” them on a personal basis. We know that this is nothing like actually coming down and meeting our children personally, but […]
I want to start by giving everyone the chance to read all of the other blogs we have written introducing you to each of our children. This has been a fun series to write and hopefully a fun series to read as well and we hope you are really getting a chance to know each […]
So after what could easily be considered the worst week of my life, Saturday arrived. I woke up at 5:00am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I got up to pray which was hard to do. I couldn’t do anything but tell God we needed Him and the kids needed Him. I had no fancy […]
Yesterday Matt covered in such detail what went on between Wednesday and Saturday of that week that I decided to share something different today. About a month ago, I read Psalm 12 and would like to share it in light of everything that has been going on with us, with the kids, and with Audancin: […]
