I know that many of you who keep up with All Things New are wondering what is going on with the new truck we are hoping to purchase soon. Yesterday was the last day for donations and today we are in the process of seeing where we are and what our next step should be. […]
Over the next few weeks, we are going to try a new series of blogs called “Teaching Tuesday.” Our plan is to test it out for a while, and if it seems to be going well we will make it a part of our regular blog series. I (Matt) served in different pastoral capacities within […]
You can find a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning in almost every Christian Church in America. There are different flavors, different brews, different brands, different presentations, and even different types of cups in which the coffee can be served, but you can almost always find a cup of coffee no matter the church.

If you read Jessica’s post from yesterday (click here if you missed it) then you saw how wonderful our black truck has been over the past 4+ years. We purchased it used in January 2014 (it is a 2011) and we have put quite a few miles (or kilometers) on it since. Today, however, I […]
Yesterday (Wednesday) we woke up ready to continue our quest of figuring out “normal” life here in Haiti with 2 babies and an orphanage. Our teams left this past Saturday (click here to read about these great groups) and we took a couple of days to recoup, so we are just getting back to our […]
Disclaimer: This blog was supposed to be posted yesterday, but a combination of a busyness with a team here and slow internet prevented that from happening! Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Have you ever read something, seen something on television, or heard someone say […]
As of this past Sunday, we are back in Haiti until the middle of June. This will be the longest Sophie and Elijah have ever been in Haiti so we are a little nervous about how they will do down here. Sophie loves it in Haiti, and every time we come with her she just […]
We are heading back to Haiti a week from Sunday (March 25) and we will be staying until the middle of June. Over the past few weeks we have been getting ready for the trip, resting up in preparation, attending a fundraiser, and making sure we know what we need to accomplish while we are […]
Our Jacksonville Fundraiser on March 2 (That’s just a little over a week away so click here to register) and our LaGrange Fundraiser in October (click here to join the Facebook group) are huge events for us every year and are important to make sure we can continue to do ministry in Haiti. I want […]
As of today we have been back down in Haiti for 2 weeks. We always get back down here and have very little time to get settled. We get right back into the swing of things and often on our first day back have several knocks at the door with people welcoming us back, problems […]
If you have kept up with the news lately then you know that our President made some unfortunate comments at a recent immigration reform meeting. I am not writing to make any type of political statement or even to discuss specifically what was said (or alluded to) at this particular closed-door meeting. I am not […]
We are heading back down to Haiti tomorrow and, for the first time ever, we only have to ride on one plane to get there. JetBlue just opened up a flight from Orlando to Port Au Prince, and we are excited about not having to layover in Miami for the first time, especially with 2 […]
