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 […]
This past Friday Night was an incredible night for All Things New and we had a blast being there with all of you who were able to make it. This was our 5th Jacksonville Fundraiser and our first time with a new format that we called “A Taste of Haiti” and being hosted by Deerwood […]
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 […]
We had our Christmas party yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. The party itself was almost the same as last year with a local DJ that we hired to bring in speakers and music, Woodly and Milouse leading the program, some of our kids telling jokes/dancing/singing, food and drinks, and then a free-for-all […]
One of the best ways that you could partner with All Things New in 2018 is by attending our Jacksonville Fundraiser. The first thing I want to say about this event is that it is going to be a blast. We are going to celebrate with a Haitian festival including Haitian food, entertainment, a live […]
We believe that 2018 is going to be an incredible year for All Things New and over the next couple of weeks we are going to be sharing some of the reasons for that in this blog. As followers of Christ, we understand that GOD controls our future and we are relying on Him to […]
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 […]
Today I would like to introduce you to the newest addition to All Things New: Tilene. She is 7 years old and in the 1st grade. Tilene came to start living with us this past Friday afternoon. Our connection to her is through one of our house moms. Tilene’s mom died within the last few […]
Last Thursday I packed up my 11 month old and my 2 year old and put them on a plane to spend the next month of their lives in a 3rd world country. This is not easy on so many levels but I do it because I love Haiti, I love the people here, and […]
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 […]
Jess and I will be heading back to Haiti soon, and we are also about to start series of blogs to begin the New Year that you will not want to miss. But I did not want to miss the chance to write about something that struck me the other day as I was watching […]
