  • Please Continue Praying!

    Click the “Donate” button to give to ATN I feel like, lately, all we have shared in regards to Haiti has been negative.  From the gas prices to the school closings to the rioting in the streets, it feels like these things are the only things we are writing about and focusing on.  Honestly, what […]

  • Another Call to Prayer for Haiti

    I try to make sure that I do not repeat myself too often when I write blogs for All Things New.  There are times, however, that repetition is necessary and important for our kids and for our ministry.  Today is one of those days.  Haiti is a wreck.  There are roadblocks throughout Port Au Prince […]
  • Gas Shortage, Unrest, and Prayers Needed

    We are coming and asking for prayer…Again. Some variation of this title has been an ongoing theme for All Things New and for other organizations in Haiti for over a year now.  Last July was the first big blow up, and it really has not stopped since.  I hesitated a little to write about it […]

  • Meet Stenia, Our Newest Addition

    This past Saturday after our trip to the beach (which will be a blog soon as well) we welcomed Stenia to the All Things New family. Stenia is a 7 year old girl who has lived with a distant relative since she was 2 days old. She has never met her Mom, nobody knows who […]
  • The Last 3 Days in Haiti

    There is so much to say about the last 3 days in Haiti, but I am not going to try and get everything into this blog.  The truth is, I have had a little writer’s block when it comes to blogs over the past few weeks. It seems like every time I sit down to […]
  • A Trip to Georgia

    This past weekend I (Matt) was able to take a trip from Jacksonville to Georgia to preach at Moon’s Grove Baptist Church (Tracey Deavors’ new church for all of you who know him) and to stop in LaGrange to meet with and spend time with some of our wonderful supporters there.  It was a very […]
  • What is Sacrifice?

    Today is the last day of our 100 for $100 Campaign!  Let’s finish strong! The last few times I have been to small group, this idea of obedience over sacrifice keeps coming to my mind.  I know why it did the first day, because that verse (1 Samuel 15:22) and concept was one of the […]
  • Freedom

    Don’t forget our 100 for $100 Campaign, just click the donate button to participate. With the 4th of July yesterday, I started reflecting on what the word “freedom” means.  It is actually a pretty complex subject if you think about the different ways the word is used.  From a political standpoint, as Americans, our minds […]
  • Living in the Tension

    Don’t forget our 100 for $100 campaign.  We are getting close, just click the “donate” button to help us reach our goal! Have you ever thought about or noticed the tension involved in living a life for Christ.  You have phrases like “hate the sin, love the sinner” or beliefs like the trinity where GOD […]
  • Father’s Day and Orphan Care

    Don’t forget our 100 for $100 summer campaign. We are trying to get 100 (or more) people to donate $100 to help us get through this time of not bringing teams down. I had an awesome Father’s Day here in America.  We got up and had my favorite breakfast (blueberry and strawberry muffins), played with […]
