The end of 2023

Image
 2023  There’s just so many things I miss about down South at our home base. And yet so many things I’m eternally thankful have changed. Haiti life loves to throw curveballs and this year of evacuating and starting completely over was the biggest one to date for us.  Sometimes I can’t compartmentalize all the feelings. Happy and sad. Scared and at peace. Worried and content. Stressed and grateful. And although it’s been an eventful year, it’s also been a fruitful year.  I’m eager to see how the Lord guides us to minister in a new city during 2024. What’s to come is only known by Him and there’s a whole lot of joy resting in that.  There aren’t adequate words to describe my utmost gratitude and sincere thankfulness for people like you who sacrificially give to others, especially ones in a whole different country. God will bless you in return. I know He will because you are helping feed, educate, and employ many children and adults who otherwise wouldn’t have a ch...

Held at gunpoint by the gang

Image
7 automatic weapons were pointed at us as the gang surrounded our vehicle. I thought, this is it. It’s over.  I was going to be taken.  Here’s what happened on the 30th of December:  For the past several months with all the issues in Haiti, I’ve been sitting in the back seat instead of the front whenever I leave the house to go into the city or come from the airport to leave the city. Less people can see me in the back so it just feels safer.  After lots of deep breaths I felt confident I could quickly go to the grocery store to get the basic necessities and then make the trip back to La Limyè.  Before I even got in the truck and after I was in, I prayed for safety, thanked Him in advance for protection and prayed no traumatic issues would happen on the road because one can only handle so much in a lifetime and I thought I should be about done.  Once we left the grocery store we passed the round about and headed down that road. When we got to the outskirts ...

The Nightmare

Image
News articles called it a massacre.  We called it the new nightmare of reality. In the middle of Tuesday night the gang killed around 16 people and set fire to over 10 homes and word is out that over a dozen more people are still missing. Over a dozen families broken forever. Over a dozen families traumatized forever. A whole community displaced as refugees because home is now a war zone. I woke up to the news yesterday and texted my friend who lives just up the road from me in Haiti. Both heartbroken and in utter shock for this to happen just 20 minutes south of us. Why are they doing this? I don’t know. Why won’t anyone help Haiti? I don’t know. How or when will I ever see my children again? I don’t know. But I still trust You, my Lord. With every ounce of my being. My town has been calm and I’m so proud of that. But the gangs new territory just South of us is blocking all traffic from the capital still. As in necessary supplies can’t be brought in and only a select few brave pe...
