  • Help Haiti: Education

    This is Pastor Wilnord. We got to know Wilnard and his ministry while in Carrefour last month. If you are interested in helping fund the school in Wilnard’s church or perhaps your church (Or a group of Christian educators, or any combination) is interested in adopting this school to help pay the teachers, provide uniforms…

  • Stop reading books!

    No seriously. Books are great. Reading is fundamental. I’m all about practical resources and history and stories that carry you away to far away lands. But lets not get to the point where we stop thinking creatively about resourcing ourselves. Or acting in a way worthy of a historian writing about us. Or living a…

  • An Orphan Cared For

    I think a lot of people question our involvement in Haiti. I’ve heard it over and over again, “We have so many problems here in our country. Let’s take care of our problems first.” Yada. Yada. Yada. We can’t turn a blind eye to the world because our backyard isn’t perfect. That rant aside. Stories…

  • Social Currency

    “Why don’t they just fix it themselves?” If I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me about the people of Haiti I wouldn’t be $1700 short in my fundraising! There are a few answers to that question. At least from my über limited perspective. Haiti is so poor that they just…

  • Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda, But

    I’m always amazed how little leading most leaders actually do. If a leader takes someone where they would otherwise not go on their own— the fact is that most people we label as leaders are just people who talk about leading. On a good day they are administrators. On an average day, they are do-nothings…

  • Faith & Fear

    The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. Genesis 12:1 Can you imagine? 75 years old you hear from God loud and clear– leave, start a new life, leave everything behind. Abram’s entire life was judged based on this…

  • The Gospel is Social

    As I mentioned in my post last night, my head is spinning a little as I think about today’s evangelical church. And yet I know that simply by saying that the evangelical church should stop doing church the way they currently that some people will instantly categorize my thought as “social gospel” in order to…
