  • My Haiti Gear List

    Packing for a short-term trip to Haiti can be intimidating. With that in mind, I thought it might be useful for people going to see the types of things I take. I travel light. I plan on washing stuff out. And several items have multiple uses. In short, I do my best to be self-contained.…

  • Beyond the Dust

    The Dust It takes a while to notice the dust. You feel it against your body and it burns your eyes a little before you really notice it. If you’ve ever hung drywall or torn down a plaster wall you know the type of dust… it is fine, it covers everything, you ingest it, it…

  • Haiti Part Twa

    I leave for Haiti in just a few hours. I fly from San Diego to New York Friday, then have an overnight layover before flying from JFK to Port-au-Prince on Saturday morning. (Sneaking in a Mets game Friday night.) This is my third trip to Haiti. I’m nervous & excited & pumped & anxious &…

  • Last Chance to Join Me for the Haiti Trip

    Last month I wrote about an opportunity you have to join me for a Haiti Vision Trip this April 6-9. This is your friendly reminder that you need to register for that trip ASAP. (And if you thought you missed the deadline, you did, but God’s grace is sufficient for you to register late.)

  • Go to Haiti with Me April 6-9

    Join Adam McLane on a vision trip to Port au Prince, Haiti this April 6-9. Thought about going but run into a bunch of obstacles? This trip is for you!

  • Redemption Song

    Good Friday reminds me of this song and this moment for two reasons. May we sing songs of freedom this weekend. Jesus came to set captives free. May we celebrate and remember as ones freed from bondage. As we celebrate Easter this weekend, let’s remember that Jesus didn’t die just to redeem you. He died…

  • What have you done for me lately?

    A year ago the earth shook and the world changed. Billions were given. Tens of thousands have gone to help. Yet not much has changed. The poor suffered. The rich got richer. More people died needlessly. The UN has effectively lied, spending money studying and asking questions while accomplishing little. And America sleeps in their comfy beds tonight feeling like they did…

  • My favorite pictures of 2010

    I have thousands of pictures from 2010. Work events, family life, our garden, and two mission trips. But both of my favorite pictures of the year came from the same day in the same location. The Sons of God Orphanage in Carrefour, Haiti. The first picture is of Kristen. She’s with a little boy who…

  • Sarah Palin in Haiti and Me

    The other day I got connected to Emily Troutman, a reporter working for AOL News in Port-a-Prince, Haiti. She was looking for Americans who had travelled to Haiti since the earthquake and I fit that description. After a quick exchange of emails, she told me she was just looking for a couple of quotes about…

  • Go to Haiti this December

    As the video says, I’m looking to gauge the interest of a trip to Haiti this December 27th or 28th, 2010 – January 1st or 2nd, 2011. I’m specifically interested in leading a team of church/youth/college leaders who are exploring the possibility of a trip in 2011 or 2012. (Yes, this would be my 3rd…
