My apologies for the long silence! I (Andy) recently returned from a two-week missions trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti with a group of 24 from the Westgate Church in Weston, MA. We ran VBS and meal programs in a church in central Port-au-Prince and a church in Cite Soleil (the slums), and we poured a cement roof on a new church building.
About 200 kids in Cite Soleil came each day to hear Bible stories and the Gospel, play games, and receive a hot meal.
I had some wonderful opportunities to share the Gospel, share my testimony, give juggling shows, and love the kids there. As we prepare to immerse ourselves in a new(ish) language, it’s a great comfort to know that God’s love can transcend language and all other barriers. In fact, nothing can separate us — and the scores of kids in Haiti who asked Jesus to be their Savior — from that love. Cool stuff.

That's right. The three of us -- Josh Bolton, Jamie Jacobsen, and Andy Stuntz -- are delaying college for a year to serve as missionary interns in La Ceiba, Honduras. We'll be helping two new missionary families as they plant a church, start a medical clinic, and reach out to street kids. Mostly though, we want to be vulnerable and to experience and share the power and hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's where it's at, and that's where we want to be. Join us as we slowly learn what in the world that means!
