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 […]
First of all, it is important for everyone who reads this to understand how important our sponsorship program is to us for so many different reasons. The main reason is that our sponsorship program brings together the kids that we love with other people here that will love them too. That is such an awesome […]
There are a lot of really incredible things that are going on in our lives. As we are in the beginning stages of getting down to Haiti to run this orphanage and to be there with our kids, it seems like there is always something to do. And in the midst of that, this summer, […]

When I have preached at RiverTown Church on a few different occasions, I will occasionally say something like, “There are some topics that I come from a position of […]

If you ever decide to start a non-profit organization, and especially an international orphanage for the first time…I have 1 really big piece of advice for you – Get a Great Advisory Team! It is so clear that GOD put this team into place because we could never have gotten such a wonderful group […]
