This is my book about the work we have been doing in Haiti & what our Haitian friends have taught us about Hope.
About 'H.O.P.E. from Here to Haiti'
The idea for this book came from two major directions.
First, I have always marveled about something. Those who came on trips with us to Haiti always receive so much more than they were able to give. There is something about the field that does that.
Second, I find that so many people in America are wrestling with being hopeful in general. I know that, even though I have people multiple times each day asking about how I can be so cheerful, that it was a long journey from hopelessness to hopefulness. I believe that the things we learn from the mission field and from our foreign friends can teach us about being hopeful.
Our desire is to activate and equip you to a life of vision and mission. I hope this gives you a view of what we do, as well as how having a vision for mission can add hope to your own life!
