Tonight we stood on a roof top in the midst of a beautiful, devastated Haiti and praised the Lord. Thunder rumbled through the sky, lightning flashed, and we were not afraid. At least not very afraid. Everything is different here. I wish you could see it. The God who fashioned the world is re-molding our hearts. He is teaching us to see through His eyes. To hug the orphans with the snotty nose. To hold the diapered infants even at the risk of an unexpected overflow. (talk to kristi) He is teaching us to ask for His voice and hear and obey when He comes. He is teaching us to give ourselves first...

Dry Bones Amidst the Rubble

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “O Sovereign LORD, you alone know.” (Eze. 37) The sun beats down on dusty Port-au-Prince as I follow Karl on foot through the city. We weave through street vendors and are careful to stay out of the way of colorful tap-taps bouncing down pot-holed streets....

“I thought Haiti needed me, but I found out I needed Haiti,” is one of the phrases we often hear. Even I came looking to see what I could do for Haiti. I came looking for how I to write and tell the world the things I see happening, the stories of what Haitians are enduring, the ways people can help this nation even if they are unable to leave their own. As staff we often chat about the misconceptions people have of life in Haiti, below is my take on one of these. Benny Veale recently wrote a blog series on those we pinpointed beginning with this one. ...

Liz Froba just returned from Haiti and shares the following. Ian Robertson, a videographer from the YMATH team shares about meeting Michelle. Michelle, if you remember, was the lady who tried to save her twin boys and lost both of them, one broken into three pieces in her arms. I’m not really sure what to say that will do justice to the mass destruction I saw today as I drove through the streets of Port-au-Prince. Smells wafted through the air, buildings were destroyed, people were everywhere, tent cities seemed to be every 500 feet, and...

For Christmas this past year Blair tried a new approach for her mom’s Christmas gift. She planned a mission trip for the two of them – to Haiti. When the earthquake hit they had to decide if they should go anyway – risking a new unknown. They did go and now Blair shares some of the struggles of feeling helpless in such a destitute nation… A dialogue is defined as “a conversation between two or more persons.” (If this is something you’ve yet to experience with Abba God I highly recommend it!) This specific dialogue...
