Highlight video from team in Haiti last week... AMAZING! big tears rolling down my checks AMAZING! want to go back right now sooo much it physically hurts AMAZING! thanks for sharing Kyle :)
We are a family that loves each other, loves Haiti, and more importantly loves Jesus. And out of that love for Jesus we desire to voluntarilyremove ourselves from the status quo in order to seek justice and mercy with the poorest of the world's poor. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere so we are excited about continuing to be servants of the poor in our own American backyard. The nature of our calling and ministry is similar to that of our Saviors--- to preach good news to the poor... to proclaim freedom for prisoners... sight for the blind... to release the oppressed... to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor (Luke 4:18-19). We are seeking to not only bring the gospel to the lost and oppressed people of Haiti but TO BE the gospel or good news in the way we pour our lives out in service to the precious people of Haiti. We pray that you would partner with us in our journey and that our stories would somehow touch and inspire you to "go and do likewise" wherever God has placed you!!!
