Ole Miss students have a passion for Haiti!

A few weeks ago I spoke at Ole Miss University to a gathering of college students from the Wesley Foundation. These students were AWESOME!! They are fired up for the Lord and are finding grand adventures on their hearts. It is my prayer that our conversations together possibly gave them one more nudge to DIVE IN!!

These students energized me with their questions and their hearts for a population of people/culture they know very little about. The students also raised money for lights for deaf families in Haiti. This group spoke to me in a powerful way when I noticed that the envelope of money was a massive stack of single dollar bills, change, and essentially, everything these college students had available.

I was reminded of the scripture that discusses people giving out of their poverty to bless others. It was evident to me that every student in that room simply emptied pockets, purses, and backpacks in order to support our work with the deaf in Haiti. WOW!!! Once again, my heartfelt thanks goes out to them for their passion.

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
