Day Two – History and Vision Today was our first full day of learning, conversing and dreaming. We started off with a history lesson from Joseph, our World Relief representative in Haiti. We got a better understanding of how two centuries of history directly affect behaviors and beliefs today. When Joseph is asked, “Is Haiti […]

Airport Departure
Our 42 men on the Mexico Build Team were successfully checked in this morning, and off they went to San Diego! Tomorrow morning they will venture into Tijuana and begin building houses.

Zambia Team Returns
As we enjoyed these beautiful brothers and sisters in Lusaka at the various schools under the Church of Central Africa, we recognized how we are far more similar than different. We all share the same life challenges such as family concerns, education, parenting, and reaching out to and serving the needs of the community so […]

Sun & Fruit
It was a beautiful day. Not only did the sun shine brightly on us, and we felt its warmth, we saw fruit. Felu gave his heart to Christ. We have seen him return this week to multiple talks, today talking with Michelle at the end, eventually praying with her. Brian and him went to play basketball in the […]
Softening Hearts
Chris, who we shared with you about yesterday, told Stacie and Michelle that he would really like a Bible, so Michelle went and got one for him. She promised if he came back today, she’d have a Bible for him. He came back for it! There was Shaina, who said “I’m debating coming…but I don’t like […]
Fearless at PSU
Today began with a vibrant prayer and worship meeting in which we talked about specific conversations we had on campus yesterday, and then we prayed together about these people – Chris, who grew up with Atheist parents, always believed there was good and evil, and had an experience where he felt like God reached out to […]
