Haiti Report

Hey Everyone!

I am back from Haiti and so appreciative to you guys for making this trip possible.  We were able to affect so many lives together!  Despite the way this video may make it look: this was not a vacation.  We did SO much work. This trip was different from others I have done in that we did lots of manual labor.  Love always looks like something.  And, right now, in Haiti, love looks like rebuilding.  Love looks like cleaning up.  Love looks like restoring.

I felt a little guilty about being at beach a couple of afternoons during the trip. I am used to being in some rough places that could in no way be mistaken as a vacation.  However, one morning I read in Mark 6 how Jesus made his disciples rest after working hard in ministry. Sometimes, it's ok to rest!  Sometimes, you'll never make it through tomorrow's work if you do not take some time to relax after today's work.  I wanted to do the blog from the beach to show you a side of Haiti that doesn't really get covered on our news.  Port au Prince is not what all of Haiti looks like: this is another, beautiful side of Haiti.

Report letters and pictures will be available soon!
I can't thank you enough for partnering with me...ya'll are an amazing team!

NOTES: a. Matthew 24 talks about Earthquakes is diverse places (I say Matthew 26 in the video)
               b. Isaiah 61:4 references Rebuilding, Restoring and Renewing
