Is spiritual renewal happening in Haiti?

March 5, 2010

You can be the judge. I heard about this via a FB note, but was never able to verify whether or not it had actually happened. It did. This one is in French or Creole. It’s included because it shows the president attending and speaking at one of the services.

Chile vs Haiti: A quick comparison

Chile’s 8.8 earthquake has left nearly 2,000,000 homeless, at least temporarily, but the death toll currently stands at just over 700. While this is likely to rise in the coming days, already it is clear that the loss of human life will be substantially below Haiti’s 7.0 magnitude quake of January 12, 2010, in which an 217,000 people perished.

Interview with ‘Travesty in Haiti’ author, Dr. Tim Schwartz-Part 1

Last week I published a review of Travesty in Haiti: A true account of Christian missions, orphanages, fraud, food aid and drug trafficking by Dr. Timothy T. Schwartz. (Read that review here.) The book was so eye-opening that I immediately started trying to track down the author for an interview. Although Dr. Schwartz has been virtually 100% successful in remaining off the Internet grid, with the help of Dr. Robert Lawless at Wichita State...

‘Travesty in Haiti,’ book review

When I returned from Haiti on February 8, the first thing I started doing was looking for books that could help make sense of some of the things I had seen that obviously predated the earthquake: the extreme poverty, regularly being asked for money or things, and nightmarish logistical situations that seemingly prevented needs from being met. What I found was the books on the subject are few, but devastating in their critiques. I...

The Haitian government is right to hold 10 Americans for kidnapping

The news last week of the detention of 10 Americans in Haiti on charges of kidnapping and criminal association brought pleading from three Southern Baptist Leaders and fuming from a fourth. Current and immediate past presidents of the SBC, Johnny Hunt and Frank Page, and Executive Committee President, Morris Chapman, sent a letter to President Obama urging him to do all that he could do to secure the release of “the Idaho 10″ as...

Medical missions in Haiti, Part 2

Being part of a medical mission team in an emergency situation can be a dicey proposition. Unless you are in a controlled environment like the University of Miami field hospital located near the airport in Port-au-Prince or a city hospital run by the Red Cross and guarded by the US military the response can be unpredictable. On my first full day in Haiti, we were asked to visit an orphanage not far from where...
