Follow With Us

Clinics are running smoothly, and almost all of our Haiti ARISE board members are here on the ground with us. It is really exciting. There will be blog posts from the others here, and you can also follow the blog from Jen Hartley, our communications director at A Restless Green and the HFL Medical team blog at HFL Haiti. Thank you for your prayers, support and encouragement. We WILL see this nation rise.
To leave here is going to be very difficult for me. I was very tempted to tell Marc to fly down here with all the kids and lets just stay. There is so much to do and even more so, there are so many here to love. As I have conversations with staff, family and friends, they all want to recount the dramatic events of the past months, with much expression and demonstrations. They are so lively, full of enthusiasm and love, despite all the challenges that they are facing. Difficulty is nothing new to the Haitian people. Suffering seems to be a way of life here. Though it is not chosen or prefered, it does form such a depth of character in a person, and draws them to rely on God's power and omnipotence. Yet, the earthquake is far beyond what any here have ever experienced, and the trauma of it is still having an impact. There is small pockets of progress happening, clean up of rubble, homes beginning to be rebuilt.
