  • 4 Days in Haiti

    I have been in Haiti for the past 4 days.  I arrived Thursday at about 2 and arrived at All Things New at around 5.  There were scheduled manifestations on Friday, but only a couple of small things ever materialized.  In fact, it has been pretty much business as usual since I have been here […]
  • Back to Haiti

    I will be heading back down to Haiti soon, and we would love for you to pray for us.  I will only be gone for about 10 days, but it is always difficult leaving your family behind.  On top of that, things in Haiti could turn at any moment, so please pray for continued peace […]

  • A Mother’s Perspective on the Unrest

    For 10 straight days an extremely large group of people succeeded in having Haiti on an entire lock down.  By this I mean we did not leave our homes.  Vehicles did not move, banks and government offices did not open, markets stayed shut down, and schools remained closed.   I have already heard it being called […]
  • Day 10 and No End in Sight

    Today is Day 10 of the manifestations and I have no idea how or when this is going to end.  The President spoke a couple of days ago and about 10 minutes later the US raised the travel advisory to a level 4 (the highest possible) which means, “Do Not Travel to Haiti.”  The people […]
  • The Manifestations Continue

    First of all, I want to apologize if it seems like all we can write about is the riots here.  It is true, that is all we are talking about but that is because it is consuming everything about our lives and ministry right now.  In fact, right now, we are trying to figure out […]
