  • It’s your turn to go to Haiti

    My trip to Haiti was two-fold. To serve the Haitian church. Each day of our trip was spent meeting with local pastors, meeting their people, and assessing/serving their needs. As I wrote about on the YS blog, “Jesus is the one feeding the people in Haiti.” As I documented over and over again, I was…

  • Ephesians 5:14 and You

    “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:14 I first memorized Ephesians 5 with Kristen in 1995. We were dating and we had discovered that memorizing Scripture together was a way to channel our, um, energy for one another. It worked! This passage of Scripture has been…

  • The Bible is Dangerous, But are You?

    This message by Francis Chan will mess with you. A trip to a third world country, in my case Haiti, will show you just how much syncretism we practice in America. Here are some of the gods we mix with our faith. – The safety god – The comfort god – The performance god –…

  • A new kind of missions trip

    I’ve been on a lot of missions trips. But never one that was three dimensional before. The three dimensions of the Haiti trip: Going and experiencing for myself. Using Twitter and Facebook to tell stories live, sharing pictures and videos with thousands around the world. Watching the experience change my friends while they participate in…

  • Technical Haiti Update

    I’m pretty much hijacking the Youth Specialties blog for my trip to Haiti. Sure, the other bloggers may post, too. Fair warning, this blog is going to be a little different for the next 7 days. You can follow my day-to-day Facebook status updates and Twitter updates. My “blog plan” is to capture little moments…

  • Meet the Team: Clint

    Responding the Haiti Crisis from Adventures In Missions on Vimeo. Meet Clint, a member of YMATH. I think this video gives a flavor for the heart of the Adventures in Missions staff I’ve met over the past 3 weeks. They are practical, passionate, and matter-of-fact. I can’t wait to watch these folks do their thing.…

  • I’m just a guy

    My backpack has come out of the garage. In mission trip language that means things are getting close. I’m at the point in preparation where I’m tidying things up before I go. Work stuff, family stuff, medical stuff, buying stuff, gathering stuff, and doing whatever I can to not think too much about where I will…

  • Preparing for Haiti

    I chose to be just crazy enough. More importantly, I want to encourage others to be crazy enough to recognize that they can change the world. — Adam McLane, August 28th 2009 In moments like this I feel like there is little I can do. While I would love to hop on a plane and…
