Missional journey to Carries, Haiti in 2017
THURSDAY morning I joined the group of missionaries headed to the school. We spent an hour or so interacting with the pre-K students. They were a lively bunch who enjoyed the various learning activities we presented. After that I took a different group to the soup kitchen. Although it was their first time serving there, […]

I took Paul to visit the various ministries which make up the Mission of Grace on THURSDAY morning. It is Thanksgiving day in the U.S. and it felt a little surreal being in Haiti but our hosts did a masterful job of preparing a feast to celebrate this American tradition. About 20 guests including Pastor Francois

Just when I thought I had done all I needed to do in church on SUNDAY as I was finishing breakfast Ms. Lynn says she wants me to sing “My Hallelujah Belongs To You” this morning. And I found out I am leading the men’s bible study on Monday. After service Faviola comes to me and

It occurred to me that this week marks my halfway point…I have just a couple of weeks left here in Haiti. And what a week this has been! My time here has exceeded all of my expectations and has really wet my appetite for more. I wonder what God has in store for me in

As we were walking back to the guest house on SUNDAY after church service we passed by the soup kitchen where there was already a line forming. The two cooks, Dedine and LaNice, called me over and told me I needed to come to work right away (I am starting to think they like my company). Ms. Lynn stopped

TUESDAY after work I head over to the Men’s home (the boys have grown up now). There are six young men between the ages of 15 and 22 who live here and all of them would be on the streets if it wasn’t for the mission. Four of them are in school, thanks to the

I presented the message at the Grace Community Church on SUNDAY. Man was it nerve-racking! I have new found respect for those who stand regularly to deliver the message to a waiting congregation. I told God immediately afterwards “no mas” but then remembered that was Spanish and not Kreyol. However, since She is an all knowing

Life is a little slower now that the team has headed back to the U.S. After church I change clothes and stop by the soup kitchen. It is really hitting home that most of the people I see here would struggle to find a meal or simply not eat if it wasn’t for this ministry
