In the midst of the chaos, grief, and pain that we’ve seen here, there’s been so much hope – and a TON of fun! We were working in the office on our last afternoon there and Terry ran in and asked us to come help with…. a GIANT truckload of rice and beans! I think [...]
Aftershocks

We awoke this morning to the earth shaking. It’s such a weird feeling – I never will forget it since I was in that big one we had in Kona a few years ago. The same low rumble that you can almost feel more than you can hear, followed by a thump, then another [...]

Then we strategized how to organize a national [...]

He let me know that today they drove through the part of Haiti most effected by the earthquake, Port-au-Prince.

Johnny wrote these two messages on his Facebook page a little earlier today:
1/18/10 “Just arrived at YWAM Haiti in St. Marc. We spent over ten hours on a bus today but it’s so good to be here. Already been praying with some of the refugees and we’re having an orientation in a few minutes. Pray [...]

Here we go….
Jeremy and I are sitting in Skyharbor Intl Airport in Phoenix AZ, a little tired, disheveled, but none the worse for wear. We’re stoked to be on the journey that the Lord has laid out for us… (BTW – ever notice that saying ‘SkyHarbor’ is basically saying the same thing as AirPort – so SkyHarbor [...]
