We were just able to tell Dario (one of our translators) that his character just got him a job and a mentor with one of the local partners. # @kristabelieves wishing you a happy valentines day too! Wish I was home to celebrate with you, but “it’ll be worth it”… [...]

And so the journey begins… (@ Tampa International Airport (TPA) w/ 15 others) http://t.co/s5AQVAWw# I’m drinking my last Starbucks before flying off to Haiti.

building a better boat [thoughts before my trip back to haiti]

I feel like I’m learning the definition of trust as I hesitantly step into the boat. My anxiety increases with every heartbeat as I casually inspect the vessel that’s about to take me across Lake Azuei. Now isn’t the time for me to recall the River Monsters marathon that I watched before [...]

For the record, I hate talking about politics. Specifically, I hate how divided people become when talking about politicians and how they deal with the issues. I know that ‘hate’ is a pretty strong word, and I rarely use it around here. But I feel like it’s important for people [...]

We finally did it! Our family just sponsored a child, and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time. The only reason we haven’t done it sooner is because we just wanted to be very prayerful and intentional about who we sponsored. [...]

As an eleven year-old dreamer in Dumas, a small town in the Texas panhandle, I attended mission classes at our local Baptist church and wondered if God would call me to be a missionary to Africa. The thought thrilled and terrified me at the same time. But I simply prayed, “God, use [...]

Since my last mission trip to Haiti, I couldn’t wait to get back. That was August 2010, just eight months after the earthquakes that shattered an already struggling nation. I’ve even made it down to the other side of the island, but my heart ached to be just across the [...]
