Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
This past Sunday, Pastor Jay Threadgill, director of the Fisher’s of Men missions base, sent us out to do ministry about an hour north of Port-au-Prince high up in the mountains. Leah and Nathan, my classmates ministered in a town called Miblais. I went with Christy, a teacher at the school I work at, and […]
Things are going well in Port-au-Prince. God is doing so much. My primary ministry is coaching children in math, grammar, and word building in a class for students who have fallen behind. Watch the video above to get the latest update!
Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince at the beginning of the month, I was surprised to discover my main ministry in Haiti would be one-on-one teaching in the ministry’s K-12 school, Morning Star Christian Academy. The school is an English school. I have had to remember much that I have forgotten like long division, fractions, what […]
For the past two months, I have been working with First Haitian Baptist Church every Sunday morning. The church is located in the inner city a few blocks from my house. I have been teaching Haitian kids songs in both English and Haitian Creole in preparation for our Benefit Worship Concert this Friday for Glory […]
When I was sixteen, God touched my heart for the people of Haiti. I borrowed some books from the library and read about the people. My heart broke over story after story of oppression. I began to pray for justice in Haiti. Eleven years later, God has opened a door for me to go to […]
We are in a very serious battle against abortion in our nation. However, there are positive signs that the battle is beginning to turn. Since we began praying in front of the Supreme Court in 2004, abortion has steadily declined. I used to use the statistic that 4,400 babies die every day from abortion. That […]
After two years of hard work, on May 15th, I graduated with the class of 2011 from IHOPU’s Forerunner Justice Program (FJP). It has been an adventure for sure! Starting in Mexico on our “dis-orientation” trip, I saw firsthand the injustices of bloodshed and witchcraft, poverty, human trafficking, and unresponsive hearts to the truth of […]
Having a Heart Free From Judgment At the beginning of the month, I went with a team from Bound4LIFE Kansas City to help launch a new Bound4LIFE chapter in Southern Illinois at Community of Faith Church in Marion, Illinois. The church has a long history of Pro-LIFE ministry standing on sidewalks outside of abortion clinics […]
A Vision Birthed in Silence In 2004, on a prophetic prayer journey with Lou Engle, we prayed in front of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s house asking God to birth songs that would end abortion. I asked Jesus, “Give me songs to end abortion.” God answered that prayer quickly, as I stood in front of the Supreme […]
Special Mission Trip Report- January 8th-18th Last week, I returned from a nine day mission trip to Haiti. I am amazed that in the midst of tragedy, so many Haitian people have chosen to respond with worship. I met many who had lost husbands, wives, and children in the devastating earthquake last year. If I […]
