  • Guest House Orientation *Video*

    I have thought about making a video we can show to first time guests and groups that give an introduction of the guest house.  I have failed to put the idea into action the idea.  What really motivated me was the fact that Evan has a nice camera we could use for the filming.  I figured…

  • Who Doesn’t Love a Shopping Spree

    Thank you all for your continued support during out time in Haiti!  We couldn’t be here doing this without you.  Ryan and I will be taking a trip home in September for my sister’s wedding, spending time in Milwaukee and the Twin Cities.  If you would like to help the guesthouse out by donating any…

  • Melissa’s Birthday Failure

    It was Melissa’s first birthday in Haiti on July 14th.  I really wanted to do something special.  Let me start by saying that in Haiti, you can plan and plan, plan and plan, and come time to execute it… well.  Let’s just hope you enjoyed planning “something” because what you planned will probably not end…

  • Cross Posting – A House Call in Haiti

    I feel like this article gives a glimpse into a conversation with a Haitian and what it might be to live in their shoes.  Most of all – this puts into words what I can often not. (Thx Livesay’s for sharing) – Ryan A House Call in Haiti By John A. Carroll, MD Many years…

  • Big Decisions Ahead for the Future of Haitian Creations

    In Haiti, we have encountered situations in which we have never come across before.  For me, difficult situations.  All varying degrees of difficulty. Stories Here are some other stories I have read/heard recently from other Heartliners: A pregnant woman is being abused by her husband. She has no one to go live with and she understands…

  • Simple Faith

    Simple faith. What if we were a people known for just loving God and loving others? For a few years I went to an ultra-conservative baptist school.  How you looked on the outside was very important.  The school was a great school in many ways, a problem, though was with everyone expecting to appear very mature, pure…

  • Last June Group Departs Haiti (lots of pictures!)

    As mentioned earlier we had four groups back-to-back this June. This last group had a youth group that had been preparing to come to Haiti for over two years.  They had done a camp back home where they all stayed in tents, had a limited supply of water, and other projects which showed a little…

    We are on Week 4 of Heartline teams this summer.  This is the 3rd week of Life Tree teams.  The people staying are from all parts of the country.  The last couple groups have picked out that we are from the northern states.  It seems that people start making comments right after I say the…

  • Heartline Ladies Graduation 2012

    The women center had graduation ceremony.  I took some random video clips from it and put it together in a little video.  The video clips aren’t amazing but hopefully it gives you a sense of it. httpvh://youtu.be/pRpoN0Vc8bo The best part was really seeing the faces of the graduates.  Especially as they showed off the clothing…

  • Mwen byen, gras a dye

    Today one of our workers said to me, “Mwen byen, gras a dye” which means, I am well thanks to God or also means I am well by God. If this was the first time, I wouldn’t think anything of it but they consistently say this – day in and day out. They could be…
