BARBADOS!
After 2 years without a vacation for Kristi and myself, we were able to take a trip to beautiful Barbados. It was a much needed time to relax, get a tan and eat great seafood. Our arrival coincided with a big western swell...this meant great surf all week long. We rented a little vehicle called a moke and drove all over the island getting lost and exploring the beaches.

Samaritan's Purse Haiti: Chapter 1
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Eyeing Africa will now be figuratively eyeing Haiti...
Homeless and hungry many Haitians face their futures. We are doing our best to change that.
