  • What is a “Non Event” Fundraiser?

    Today I will take a step back from describing the situation in Haiti to tell you about our Annual LaGrange Fundraiser that is taking place right now.  We have always done our LaGrange fundraiser in the Fall and our Jacksonville fundraiser at the beginning of Spring.  Planning a fundraiser in the Fall is always an […]
  • 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

  • Pray for the Bahamas: Hurricanes in the 3rd World

    I am sure everyone who is reading this, even if you do not live in the southeastern US, has heard about Hurricane Dorian.  As I write this, I am waiting in Jacksonville to see how close to the coast it comes and how much it will affect us here and out at the beaches.  With […]
  • 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 […]
