My friends over at World Orphans have been taking the video footage that we shot while in Haiti & turning them into short little video blogs to help illustrate what we are trying to accomplish. World Orphans, along with the organization I work for (Hope for Orphans) & a handful of other ministries were founding [...]

Priceless…

My son Daniel wrote the following note for me to take and read on my trip to Haiti. Well….I guess it got lost in my bag because I just discovered it. I thought it was worth sharing…nothing profound, just awfully cute. Written: “wons apon atime ther was a dad and a mom. That day the [...]

From Port Au Prince to Miami to Dallas. I made it back to Dallas tonight. As I came down the elevator I was reminded what my favorite part of any trip is.
Two more aftershocks last night…

We had two more aftershocks last night around 2 am. I’m learning that my belief in God’s sovereignty has been much more of an academic exercise then a heart felt understanding. My empathy for the Haitian people has skyrocketed. They’ve been living with this uncertainty every day since the quake. Every aftershock brings new terror. [...]

Today we visited an orphanage that Pastor Bataille (our host) started. There were about 24 boys at this orphanage. When I got out of the vehicle I was immediately drawn to one little boy with a dusty button down shirt that was missing the middle button. I went over and knelt down to get eye [...]

This morning Paul Myhill (President of World Orphans) & I had the opportunity to speak before 100 Haitian pastors at a Campus Crusade for Christ training conference in Port Au Prince. The training was being led by Esperandieu Pierre – who I mentioned in my last post. Esperandieu asked us to cast vision & encourage [...]

We had the opportunity to visit Haiti Children’s Rescue Mission yesterday. HCRM is filled with some kiddos that Hope for Orphans (my employer) has been advocating for. I’ve seen the faces of many of these children on computer in Dallas so it was especially sweet to see them face to face. HCRM was designed to [...]

In some of the developing countries I’ve traveled there is a form of “adoption” that is generally accepted but which stands in opposition to the biblical concept. In Haiti it is called “restavec”….but it exists in other parts of the world. For a simple point of reference here is how Wikipedia defines it: A restavec [...]

Today was a good laying the ground work day. Our team met with CMBH (Southern Baptist Group in Haiti) & World Relief. The net result of our time is that we will be able to meet with 46 churches in the coming week. Definitely a great start to the church to church partnerships we are [...]

Our team of 11 arrived in the Dominican Republic yesterday with no problems. We stayed at a Clarion Inn in Santo Domingo and this morning at 7:30 we piled into a 20 person bus and headed out for Port Au Prince. All in all the drive from DR was smooth. At one point along the [...]
