It’s hard to judge and determine the level of impact than a person makes on other people.  This has been especialy true for us being missionaries here in Haiti.  Culture and all sorts of other factors come into play, which make it difficult to assess just what we have been able to do here, or at least from a relational perspective.  And finding the balance between meeting one’s physical needs as well as spiritual needs [...]

Ever since Christmas the guys have been tryng to plan a trip over to    the Isle of Tortue to have some sort of guys get away.  The ideal spot for this get away is an extremely gorgeous and untouched beach on the South west tip of the Island.  I mean this beach is gorgeous (at least that’s what I heard); like top five in the Caribbean type of beach, and it’s even nicer since nothing [...]

I am amazed to think about all the Christians who spread the love and message of Christ in countries that are much more hostile to the gospel than Haitians.

ell we just got back to Haiti from visiting the US about two week ago, because my (Kyle) brother got married. Even though our trip was extremely exhausting for the entire Jones family, we had a really great time spending time with our family and friends and watching my brother and his new wife experience a wonderful moment in both of their lives. Things are starting to look up for us here in Haiti, or [...]
