We had a leadership team that went to Haiti to help get an aid system flowing. That system started, in earnest, on Monday with helicopters and trucks (with a lot of elbow grease shifting from truck to truck over flooded roads). We expect that system to drive about 68,000 lbs of food and a CDC […]
Read more...By God’s grace and at his mercy, we made some progress, today. We’re a bit tired and I’ll keep this short.
We got food delivered to Gonaive by helicopters today. There are now more than 1,000 people living in the children’s village in Gonaive. All, and many more, were fed there today - many for the […]
Sorry it’s been a couple of days since the last update. I’ll provide some detail here so you’re fully up to speed.
Let’s start with great news: the kids in the south are fine. They’ll need more food this week. We’ll get that to them, no problems expected.
As you know from reading the news, Gonaives is […]
A quick update - not much time.
The good news is that the 250 children in the Gonaives village are fine and have some food and water for a few days. We don’t know about the other 200. The bad news is that Hurricane Ike is preventing the helicopters from flying in the aid drop we’re […]
Sorry it’s taken so long for another update. I need to be brief. Here’s the situation:
The kids in the south have endured much but seem to be safe.
Gonaives is a mess. BUT, the 250 orphans in our children’s village are ok. In fact, the water has receded in the village such that the grounds of […]
Today’s update by necessity must be brief. We know much less than what we do not know. What we do know is that all of the children in Port-au-Prince and in the south are safe. We also know that the situation in Gonaives is worsening by the minute. We have secured water purification kits that […]

As we stir to go about our days doing this and that, stop… Drop to our knees. Let’s not just fold our hands. Get on our knees.
First, give thanks. All of our children in the south are safe. We’ll have to assess damage, but the children […]
Several months ago I was snow skiing in the Colorado mountains. It was the same trip that I busted up my shoulder and my pride. It is also the last time I wrote a blog. Can’t explain why but here I am again.
It was during that ski trip I remember one particular ride up a […]
Mike needs a blog break - he’s wounded.
Mike busted his collar bone in a “skiing accident” with Rick Heiniger. 1 surgery, 1 metal plate, and several screws later, he’s recovering. Rick, of course, returned unscathed. Fox claims he wrecked avoiding a 5 year old girl who cut in front of him. I don’t buy it. […]
