  • 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…

  • Heartline Group Week 4

    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…

  • Ever seen someone show up at the dentist wearing only a shirt?

    On Wednesday Ryan and I had the opportunity to go with a dental team to a small village way out in the middle of nowhere. In order to get there, we had to drive about an hour and a half, then turn off the main road onto a bumpy, rocky dirt road and go several…

  • Wergsy’s Birthday

    Yesterday was a pretty tough day today with everything going on.  It seemed like everyone was stretched.  We had basically zero people left to call upon if something happened! In the midst of the day we celebrated Wergsy’s birthday. Melissa worked hard to make sure the day was special for her.  Melissa has done this…

  • Moto Ride Turned Dangerous at Rebel Army’s Barricade

    The story begins… with the guys at Heartline (John McHoul, Asher, “P”, and myself) visiting a small village outside of Port-Au-Prince.  In a few weeks, we will be having a group of dentists come down to Haiti, and we were hoping to bring them to this village.  With all the rain, we weren’t sure if…

  • Haiti Flag Day – Haiti Libere

    Today is flag day. Haiti Libere – Haiti free! The Haitian flag is a symbol of pride for many Haitians. You will see the flag on TapTap’s, painted on walls, tattooed on bodies. From this article, “One of the primary symbols of Haitian freedom is the Haitian flag created in Arcahaie, a town located outside…

  • Packed Guest House / Construction / Painting / Pictures

    The last few weeks have been a whirlwind at the guest house: We had an over-packed house with 41 people at the guest house.  We just keep trying to break records here 🙂  There were enough cots for the groups and everyone had such a great spirits.  To God’s credit, it went very smoothly!
