Bon Jovi ? Should I be Jealous?

Dieula Previlon is the International Initiatives Pastor at Irving Bible Church (IBC) in Irving, Texas. Many moons ago I served as the Director of Missions at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship (BTBF) in nearby Carrollton. Both are mega-churches that have had...

Orphans First on HORT (Assist News Service)

I'm a world-traveling Brit who lived in Sweden for a spell, moved to the US thirty years ago, and eventually married an American bride. I'm fluent in the "Queen's English" as well as the American corruption. In my book, that...

At Every Turn of the Blade (Haiti Reflection)

It's hard to get Haiti out of my mind. I spent many an evening there, sitting on the hard concrete roof, staring directly into the whirling blades of a Super Stallion or Sea Dragon helicopter, hoping that gusts of wind...

School of Rubble (Haiti Video Blog ? 1)

While the initial Haiti Orphan Relief Team (HORT) assessment group was in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas recently, the World Orphans members of the team shot daily video blogs. Unfortunately our Internet connection in Haiti was less-than-desirable and we were unable...

To Soar like Eagles (Haiti Reflection)

While waiting at the new Haiti office of World Relief (the former one collapsed in the quake), the initial HORT assessment team watched a few children from the adjacent King's orphanage play basketball with a tennis ball. When their hero...

Of Sacrifice and Suffering (Haiti Update)

I'm humbled by the many amazing Haitian pastors the initial HORT assessment team has met over the past couple of weeks. To be able to survey over fifty churches, we split into three groups that crisscrossed all over Port-au-Prince and...

Every Child Deserves Their Home (Haiti Update)

There is little doubt that the Idaho group lacked good judgment and made some terrible mistakes when they tried to take Haitian kids across the border into the Dominican Republic. The latest reports about these children state that "all had...

The Chaos and the Calm (Haiti Update)

After surveying many churches associated with the work of World Relief yesterday, we decided to cap off the day with another visit to downtown Port-au-Prince. We pulled over at Rue Dessalines, a central artery that cuts through the littered shambles...

?To the Center? (A second aftershock in Haiti)

Because of the aftershock at 4:26 am yesterday morning, the whole team decided to create our own version of a tent city atop the heavy concrete roof last night. The rain clouds hovered with the helicopters early in the evening...

Aftershock (Haiti Update)

I was awoken early this morning by the whole house shaking and a deep low rumble that sounded as if the underworld was growling. Three seconds later, after an initial period of disorientation, I heard a scream that sent the...

Inside the Rubble and Outside the Doors (Haiti Update)

Today we met with Pastor Fritz in Carrefour, the approximate epicenter of the Jan 12th quake in Haiti. Fritz is the one who took in Rood, the boy who lost eleven members of his family - and his arm -...

The Weight Upon Them (Haiti Update)

Imagine that you live in a two storey house where the second floor and ceiling/roof are eight-inch thick slabs of concrete, threaded with rebar. Imagine that the walls are bulky concrete blocks set between twelve-inch square concrete pillars. Basically, you...

The Winds Blew and the Ground Shook (Haiti Update)

After the first couple of days in Haiti, I started to get discouraged that the story has, for the most part, fallen off of the US media radar screen and the collective consciousness of America, replaced by Apolo Ohno's soul...

Broken (Haiti Update)

Things don't have to be shattered to be deeply broken. During the night (Wednesday night), the rains came. The pastor's house we're staying in started to leak at multiple points, including waterfalls gushing into a bedroom and stairwell. From a...
