Giving life everywhere that we go.

This is less about where we go and ALL about WHO we go with. We desire to bring the reality of Jesus Christ everywhere that we go. Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus is already at work in the World & we would not even begin to pretend that we are bringing Him somewhere that He is not already working. Through every mission trip we will encourage, support, and lift up those who are serving tirelessly in the location we are traveling to, whether that means Mexico, Washington D.C., New York City, or Williamsburg.

Haiti, December-January 2011 | Blog 3.

If this trip only teaches me one thing, it will be most definitely be appreciation for what I have. There are just so many things we take for granted every day that so many of the earth’s population do not have.

I have never, not one day, gone hungry that was not by choice.

Yesterday was an awesome day; we were able to minister to local children that live in the local tent cities. We had a goodie bag and a hot meal for each of them. I was really doing great, having fun, loving on so many little children! Then the food was served. My heart split wide open at the sight of 400 children all sitting, eating what may have been their only meal that day. All the while knowing all of the excess that my family and I have back in the states. The luxury of eating whenever, whatever we want.


This trip has already been eye-opening, one that I feel everyone should experience. There are people out there without food, without electricity, without fresh water, let alone a Starbucks on every corner.


We can do something! The problems here in Haiti and around the world may be bigger than us, but for sure, they are NOT bigger than the God we serve. He is the answer! Through Him, all things are possible! We just need to open our eyes and get out there!

Love you all!
