Sandy leaves Haiti deeply impacted..

The two most recent hurricanes have impacted our communities in Haiti.
We are receiving reports of flooding, mudslides and impassable roads, which means limited access to food and water.  Farmers have watched their crops being washed away, fruit bearing trees uprooted, in some cases their harvests are a total loss. Then we received the story of Lucner Louis.  Lucner is a member of the Chadirac Leadership Council.  Lucner’s home crumbled under hurricane force winds of Isaac.
Not waiting for help from 410, Lucner began reconstructing his own home.  During the reconstruction a bolder rolled onto to his leg with crushing force.  Lucner suffered broken bones and a severe leg infection.  It was determined by Haitian medical professionals that his leg could not be saved.  The only option was amputation.
Due to the extent of the infection, the doctors performed three amputation of his leg.  Lucner is recovering in a local hospital.  Please pray for him and his family.  He is a great man of God and will continue to be a leader in his community.  Lucner is only one example of the resilience of the Haitian people.
Haitians are a resilient people, they will bounce back but they need our help. …

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

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:
