Wow, it’s our last full day here in Haiti.
I remember when I applied to go on this mission trip, I felt totally unqualified because I just got saved in April and have a lot to learn. Many people on the team are community group leaders, church staff members, and people who are really passionate… Read more
Here are some of the sights and experiences of our team this week. We’re sorry that we haven’t been able to post videos due to a poor internet connection, but hopefully you can see a bit of what we have seen in Haiti!
It has been a very exhausting week of serving. There have been a number of projects the team has participated in. We’ve painted, sewn, cleaned, and helped minister to many of the kids. It has been an awesome experience and the team has been great. They have really labored with the joy of the Lord.… Read more
Wow, it’s hard to believe the trip is almost over and we will be returning to LA soon. I can speak for the rest of the team that this week has left an indelible impression on each of our hearts. Our hope is that everyone at Reality LA could experience these memories firsthand, as each… Read more
I’ve known for over two years that I was supposed to come to Haiti. I wasn’t really sure why, but I knew God would eventually send me and that it would change my life. God’s timing is perfect and after a difficult season in my life, the Lord positioned my heart so perfectly to receive… Read more
Our time in Haiti has been an encouragement to my faith, as I’ve been able to see God work in large and small ways. He is the all-powerful Creator, yet He has His eye on the sparrow.
Tonight we had the amazing blessing and privilege of getting to worship alongside the girls of Child Hope.… Read more
Here are some photos from our first day at the feeding program with Child Hope.
I went up to the rooftop this morning during sunrise for prayer and heard voodoo chanting off in the distance… again.
Haiti is actually a very beautiful place. It’s a little rugged here, but nonetheless I’m loving it. What really sticks out to me is the people. Essentially, Haitians are more open and willing to… Read more
Being here, I think about how when you don’t have much – whether it’s materialistic resources and opportunities, or love – there is more room for God in your life. We live with our hearts divided amongst many things because we have been given much. But God can become your everything more readily when there… Read more
I look around and I see a country afflicted by disaster, full of destitution and poverty. Buildings lie empty, people sleep in tents, trash fills the street, and yet I see smiles. I see a little girl, half-dressed, walking in the dirt, break into a smile when I walk by. She shies away and hides… Read more
They say that I can move the mountains and send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water if I would follow and believe with faith like a child
Sometimes, when I feel miles away and my eyes can’t see your face.
I wonder if I’ve grown… Read more
We traveled today from LA to Haiti with a brief layover in New York. We arrived in Port-Au-Prince mid-morning. The airport was a zoo. It was more chaotic by far than any other airport I have been to. There were guys in red shirts trying to help with everyone’s bags. I’d seen porters like them before,… Read more
