The Church in Action Part 2

Last week I shared about a portion of my trip to Haiti in July of 2020. Despite the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, I was able to spend time with Pastor Poyis and learn more about Haitian culture. Sunday, July 12, 2020 We continued our drive through Canaan and onward North just on the edge of the ocean north of Port-au-Prince. It was pretty and reminded me a little of the south side of the island of Maui where it is a little dryer inland and more lush toward the ocean. We traveled about 10 miles until we got to this [...]

The Church in Action Part 1

In July of 2020, I was able to visit the ministry compound despite COVID-19 circumstances. It was an incredible trip, and I’m excited to share some of my favorite stories on the Connect 2 Ministries blog. Sunday, July 12, 2020 After the service, I went and had breakfast. Poyis came and told me that he was going to drive to another town to pick up some men who wanted to help paint the new Children’s Home. Poyis gladly agreed to let me tag along. Poyis, Moto, and I got onto the school bus around 10AM. We were headed to a [...]

A Celebratory Sunday in Haiti

In July of 2020, I was able to visit the ministry compound despite COVID-19 circumstances. It was an incredible trip, and I’m excited to share some of my favorite stories on the Connect 2 Ministries blog. Sunday, July 12, 2020 I woke up at 6AM, got dressed and went out to the front of the compound where the church is by 6:30AM. A handful of people were already inside waiting for the service to start. I said hello to Poyis and the others and observed them as they greeted the people coming through the front gate. In the spirit of [...]

2020 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

Today, the global movement to bring awareness on human trafficking touches the heart of each of as at Connect 2 Ministries closely. Over 100 children rescued from trafficking now call our Regency and Mercy Children's Homes their home, and they refer to Pastor Frandy Poyis as their Papi. One of these children is Johnny, and his testimony is incredible. Johnny was the oldest of 7 children, but his mother could not afford to keep him. A common and acceptable practice in Haiti is for a parent to try and secure a better life for their child by selling them. So [...]

A Biblical Response to an Instagram Comment

This week, as I was scrolling through my same-old Instagram feed, I came across a rather triggering post. I follow a humorous account that posts different things sure to make the Christ-follower laugh. However, this post was anything but funny. The post read:  “Most Short-Term Missions Trips Are Just Vacations That Make You Feel Better About Yourself.” This thought made me nervous. “Do people actually believe this? This must be entirely satirical.” Yet sadly, many people in the comment section entirely dismissed the importance of emotional human connection and even more importantly: the severity of the need to spread [...]
