One House

Thank you for being involved in, coming along side, and joining in this journey and mission. Since you and I are new to Heartline, I wanted to take a moment and share a story written by Beth McHoul. Who is Beth? Beth and John have lived in Haiti for 22 years. They are truly the heart of Heartline. This story takes…

Blinding Flash of Reality

Ever since moving to Haiti, we have noticed that our Haitian staff has been eating rice, beans, and a small chicken drumstick for lunch every day. Literally every day. They are very kind and offer to make extra for us whenever we want it. Sometimes we say yes, and it is actually pretty tasty. But…

First Drops of Water From Well

The well pump is now installed and the first water has been pumped from the well! This is a huge blessing for the community and for Heartline. Why Heartline? Heartline built five houses for families on this land and were looking to complete it with building a community well (for all around the area) and…

New Friends

I wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for our time here in Haiti. Especially those of you who have been praying specifically for us to make new friends and build relationships. It seems as though your prayers are being answered. Meet Charlotte. She has been quite shy until last night. But…

Water is Found

Water was found! This is near the five Heartline houses that were built in an area now being called “Jerusalem 7”. Before this well was drilled by Living Water the community would need to walk over a mile away for a well. This will be a huge help for this community.

Feed My Starving Children

Food straight from the Feed My Starving Children factory in Minnesota! This could be the most nutritious meal they will have during the week. I had recently volunteered with a group from PTC to pack food at Feed My Starving Children. I enjoyed seeing the other end where the food is delivered. You will notice…

Port Au Prince Fellowship

This is my second church service I have attended in Haiti. Port Au Prince Fellowship is possibly the only English church in the city and thus attracts American visitors on any given Sunday. They began ‘offering’ and the first thing the pastor says to the many visitors, “We don’t want your money. If you do…

Running in Haiti

As many of you know, Ryan and I are big into running, and are used to going about four times per week. Since arriving here, we have been busy learning the ropes at the guesthouse, adjusting to the heat, and settling in. Today was our first chance to try out running in Haiti. If you have…
