We are missionaries with Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. We have devoted our lives to serving His kingdom in the country of Haiti. We have 7 children and a thirst for an intimate relationship with our Creator. There may be a lot of drama on the battlefield but one thing is for sure.....There's Never A Dull Moment!
Thanksgiving is almost here! Can’t believe how fast this month has gone. When Jose & I were in the states packing for the boat – we brought back in with us a Honey Baked Ham & a turkey! Our family, Miss Beth, Susan, & Erica will be together […]
As I look back over this past year – it’s been a difficult one for our family for sure….. Speaking transparently – we dealt with a lot of loss this year. Learning to work in Haiti without my brother has been difficult. Though I know he is SO […]
Funny how the day before I’m talking about being up all night and the very next day I’m thankful for the sunrise….which I often miss more times than not! There are times though where I’m “forced” to look at it….like when we had to get up early to […]

Jose, Asher, & I flew into the Mole this past Saturday after spending time in the states re-packing crates & barrels for the boat. We brought back with us hundreds of strands of Christmas lights! Sunday night we started decorating the courtyard. We’ve been working on it little […]
Today we spent the morning in clinic and the afternoon decorating the house for Christmas. By “we” you probably think I mean Jose & me. And in a lot of ways that’s true. But the “we” I’m referring to is Momma Gigi & I. WE do pretty much […]
Today I’m thankful for my hands. It’s hard to imagine what my ministry & family would look like without being able to use them. What it would feel like to not hold my children – to not be able to touch my patients to assess their illness – […]
This is a hard blog for me to write about. I’ve written it twice today and deleted them both. There’s so much I wish I could share …..and yet putting it online for all to read is not really wise. Since moving to the Mole in 2010 – […]
