Yesterday and today were very long days. Yesterday started off with a meeting at 6:45am which was followed by what seemed like 15 other meetings throughout the day and ended with Zalex winning our FIFA tournament at around 10:30. Today started off with 2 large piles of rocks being dumped on the road outside of […]
Prior to getting to the rest of the blog, please CLICK HERE to view the invitation to our upcoming Dinner Event in Jacksonville. $75/ticket for a wonderful night!

I finally got the internet working at our house in Haiti. It only took about 25 phone calls to the same person until they finally sent someone out that could fix it. I can now update you on what has been going on here in Haiti, and it has been a really good few days. […]
When I wrote this, I was sitting in the airport getting ready to get on a plane to Haiti and then hopefully getting all the way to our house in Gressier. I have been to Haiti a few times lately, but I stayed in Port Au Prince because I did not want to put any […]

I think that anyone associated with All Things New, or any other ministry in Haiti for that matter, would have to characterize 2019 as a year of difficulties. It was a year of political unrest for sure, but it was also much deeper than that. The political unrest caused fear and uneasiness all around the […]
Have you ever noticed how there is still a sense of awe and wonder around Christmas? When you read about the birth of Jesus in the Gospels, there are all of these different events that come together that, if you really ponder them, they are hard to believe. Here are just a few of them: […]
I mentioned about a week ago that there has been “relative calm” in Haiti for the past few weeks. While there are some politically important dates coming up and some potential for things to change, we are praying that the peace remains and that Haiti can get back to “normal.” At the same time, it […]
Over the next couple of weeks, I want to highlight a few things that have been going on at All Things New that have been positive even in the midst of all of the turmoil in the country. I do not want to lessen the struggles that Haiti has gone through over the past year, […]
Many of you have been keeping up with All Things New and also with Haiti in general over the past 3 months of pretty extensive political unrest in the nation. A lot of people, both with All Things New and people in general who love Haiti, have been praying for this unrest to stop and […]
First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in Giving Tuesday this year for All Things New or for any other nonprofit. It was a very important and successful day for the ministry of ATN, and we could not and would not be where we are without all of you! The […]
