Relevant magazine recently featured one of our church-to-church partnerships: Pastor Edouard Clerhomme of the Church of God Mission by Faith church (Carrefour, Haiti) and Pastor Ed Noble of the Journey Community Church (La Mesa, CA, USA): Since this [initial] meeting [in May], Journey and Mission by Faith have formalized their new partnership. Journey sent a five-person team to visit in early July to continue assessing needs and ways they can support Mission by Faith church and to continue deepening relationships between the new partner churches. As Journey covers their activities...

Haiti: I came to minister but got ministered too

There was a girl in the orphanage sitting while others were playing games. I felt like going over and holding her so I went over and picked her up. I held her and just looked into her eyes and could see what she had been through, the trials and tribulations. I put her down about an hour later and let her go upstairs with the other kids to do VBS. When she came down stairs after VBS she came looking for me and found me. After carrying her around for another 45 minutes, I took a break and stepped out to the courtyard which was up the stairs, about 30 feet. I looked down...

If I could bring one tangible piece if Haiti with me, it would be their music. Bongo drums, homemade percussion instruments, voices full of praise for the Lord and joy in Him, penetrated with occasional claps – music you have to move to, you have to join in with!! We have had the privilege, and I may be the only one on the team who considers it a privilege, of hearing this beautiful praise nearly every evening until past 10, and waking up to it at 4 a.m. almost every day. This… I will truly miss Sunday night. 🙁 This music is one of the simplest and sweetest...

Wow, time flies! We can’t believe that we only have 2 more days of ministry left here in Haiti – there seems to be so many things that God is showing us that need to be done and so little time to do it in! Today we did another medical clinic at the local church and VBS at the orphanage. One highlight was that we were able to buy 47 mattresses for the orphanage – check out the video on this blog. The kids response was better than Christmas morning. This afternoon we were able to do a “food drop” at a church in a local tent city. This was a little...

I was relaxing on my cot in the room I share with Brandon, Aaron and Michelle, and Jeff and Alycia and their daughter Brittney Hylton, a family from Georgia. A beautiful worship service was going on below us in the house. All of a sudden, a pair of vicious super-strong, flying … Pope and young cockroaches were discovered. Michelle’s scream of distress brought Aaron, Brandon, and Jeff running, followed by Clint with the broom. One cockroach met his demise (amidst a lot of yelling and screaming), but the second one escaped into the safety of the jungle beneath my cot....

Wow what a day… 1 Corinthians 4:1: This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. We started our day a little slow… Well some if us did. 😉 We thank God for a wonderful night’s rest! After a great breakfast graciously prepared by the pastor’s wife we got ready for an exciting day of ministry. We headed for a church where half of us would begin working at a medical clinic for the morning. The heat was intense; I mean that we were sweating while just sitting. 😉 We had our morning devotionals;...
