arrow icon. My Sketch Book Connected Me to My Brothers and Sisters in Haiti 
Volunteer in Mission Sandy Parsons pulled out her sketch books and connected to the children of Arcahaie, Haiti. My experience in Haiti was most incredible. Our unique collection of team members included two cancer survivors, a victim of corporate downsizing, a recent corporate drop out, three fairly 'normal' individuals and a wild and crazy young woman. None of us (except our team leader) had any construction experience. As it turns out, we had the perfect mix!

arrow icon. "Honey, Jesus Is at the Door Again" 
Carey Cooper helped open the Susanna Wesley Preschool for the children of Camanchaj. Jesus keeps showing up at our back door unannounced in the form of a 4'9" Mayan woman with no front teeth. Jesus is going by the name Isabel and has a deviously cute baby named Norma slung over his back. You wouldn't believe how loud Jesus knocks and how persistent he can be with the door. The man, will simply not go away! Let me be perfectly honest with you...Jesus is really starting to tick me off!

Absolute single-hearted service…how does one do that? What would that look like? Some saintly person unengaged with this world's temptations and relationships that snarl much of God's creation into an unrecognizable mess? What does single-hearted service mean to me? How do I not become distracted from my intentions?
