let me tell you about canaan.

canaan is one of our partner communities & we LOVE visiting there. the people are thriving, loving & FULL of joy.



after the earthquake a lot of people came to this mountain to start a new beginning. the coolest part of the story is that way before the earthquake a sweet woman answered the lords voice to go to the top of this mountain everyday & pray. she prayed & prayed for what God had in store for this mountain. flash forward to today & there is a church right where she prayed. there is a school that they started in faith that is growing & thriving & so full of LIFE!

this past trip we were able to do VBS with these school children & share the love of jesus with them. they are such bright kids with incredible futures!



we were so blessed to have tracey on this trip with us who organized our VBS! she had stories, games & amazing crafts. we had some people that donated funds for us to buy a parachute to play SO MAY GAMES with. the kids LOVED it so much!


THANK YOU TRACEY!

Now to some really really really cool news. we have the opportunity to partner in a different way with this community. we met with the amazing jameson who oversees the school to discuss needs that they have.


he selected 10 children who are in need of sponsoring for their education. 

i sat down with jameson & asked him what the children needed for the entire school year. 
for each child they pay a fee of $100 for the school year, $45 for their uniform, & $130 for books. so for $275 you can send one of these children to school for the ENTIRE YEAR!











look at their faces! these beautiful faces are the FUTURE of HAITI! if you would like to help sponsor one of these childrens education please emails us revelatorinternational@gmail.com

this song, "build my life" has been my heart for a few weeks now. i wondered why it was stuck in my head day after day - then i went to haiti this last trip & i knew why. God has a sweet way of reminding us of TRUTH when times are really tough. this is our first post as RI on a blog & def. will not be our last. usually we would probably write about who we are, who is on our board, why we do what we do but instead i want to just share about what is going on. this last trip to haiti was rough for my spirit. rough for my heart. new kids. sad stories. kids who have been there. things being taken from them. lies. deception. tears. a longing to be loved. need. urgency. so many emotions. my brain is filled with a jumbled mess of figuring out ways to get money FAST. there are so many children in need. so many children longing to be cared for. to be loved. to belong. sometimes i want to yell at God & say WHY? God, HOW did this happen. i loo...

haiti june 2019.

FINALLY! i spent a long weekend with the boys & it was SO NEEDED. they have grown so much & i was so insanely happy to see them. not in a photo or video but with my own eyes. let me just tell you getting there was something else. 8 months since my feet were on haitian soil & if you know me you know that is a LONG TIME. the day cory took me to the airport i accidentally left my phone in the car, the incredible ticket agent allowed me to use her phone to call him (insert praise hands) on his way home our car went crazy & stopped right in front of a library so he just coasted in (insert praise hands again). he is literally on the phone with me telling me everything as I am about to board the plane, i was like get behind me devil. an uber driver, a good friend, a tow truck, cory's step dad & an alternator later the car was good to go. when i walked into the house my heart was just overcome with thankfulness. yes we still need to raise $4000 before august ...
