A Few Haiti Pics

I’m finally posting some pictures from our Haiti trip a few weeks ago.  My wife is an amazing photographer and she took some really great shots while we were there.  If you are looking for somewhere to get involved in the world look no further than Haiti.  If you want to know what to do shoot me an email and I’ll plug you in with some cool people who are doing huge things in this little country!  Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere with an 80% unemployment rate.  Those who do work make on average about $2.50 a day.  We visited several orphanages while we were there and saw the cutest kids ever.  1 in 5 children there don’t make it past their fifth birthday.  They need the power of the gospel down there in a big way.  If you are thinking about giving a big check to your church’s building fund tell your church to quit being such pampered babies and send the check to people who actually need it.  Basketball courts and fancy new sanctuaries are the reason people all over the world are starving to death.  27 billion dollars in America last year went to new church buildings.  That could have fed Haiti and then some.  We as the church have to step up and put our money where our mouth is!!!  I think our new slogan should be “Comfortable churches=Starving children.”  Ok I’m done with my rant for today.  Hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather.
