After last summer’s tragedy, the Staff and Board made the decision to cease swimming in Houston County Lake and to build a swimming pool. However, it was additionally decided that we would honor Hudson’s memory by not having a broad campaign. Instead, one letter was written to David Weekley, a homebuilder and friend of Christian […]
The story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night (John chapter 3) is well loved for many reasons. Obviously, the gospel of salvation is clearly explained by our Savior himself (John 3:16).

Our last day in Haiti dawned bright and early. We typically spend our last day doing some team bonding, as well as finalizing work projects, cleaning up camp, and packing for our return trip. This morning, almost the whole team decided to wake up at 5:00 and brave hiking up Double Head mountain. Some of […]
Bon Swa from beautiful northern Haiti! Wow. What a day! It rained most of the night, but sunshine broke through this morning. By noon it was hot and steamy, and most of the mud dried up rock hard. Haiti is definitely a land of contrast. Today was a full day of work projects, including a […]
Bon swa, friends! This evening as I write, we are fellowshipping, playing games, or taking our first showers after a couple of days working in the pouring rain and mud without running water.
