Hello friends, I’m sure by now you have all heard about the devastating earthquake in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Our hearts are breaking for the people there.

In September of 2008 we had the distinct pleasure of partnering with Humanitarians Initiating Progress in Haiti in order to help them tell the story of Haiti and HIPH’s work there.

The incredible women we went down there with (who founded and run HIPH) landed in Haiti the day before the quake, but thankfully made it to the north of the country before the quake hit. We have heard from them and they are fine. However we have another dear friend who went with us on that first trip in 08, who fell in love with the country and people, and who has gone back and forth to serve them ever since. He was in Port Au Prince when the quake hit, and we have not heard from him. Please keep him, and all of the people of Haiti, in your prayers as we wait to see what develops.

Love love love, The Bedouins

From our first trip to Haiti…

it’s crazy to lay here in a nice bed in a nice house with my nice new christmas gifts typing on my nice computer and looking at this photo that I took in October.  There are people living here right now.  They didn’t have a Christmas.  They dug through garbage again for stuff that they could sell in order to survive.  To them, yesterday was just another day of digging.  Pretty crazy to think about that.  Even crazier not to let things like that change you.  This new years, be changed…and in turn…change the world around you.

It’s been a little over a week since I made my return to these United States of America from my month in Africa.  It’s been a strange week, re-adjusting to life with air-conditioning, familiar food and a hot showers.  When I think back to my first two weeks overseas in Egypt with Times Square Church it’s like reflecting on a distant memory of a time far in the past.  With 9 days in Kenya and now a week in the states between my trip to Egypt and today it’s almost as if it was a dream.  It’s hard to believe that it was less than a month ago that I was living in Cairo and participating in the wonderful work that TSC is doing there.

Today the film came back from my time in Egypt and I began to reflect back on some of the adventures that we had there.  Next week I will begin my “story telling” of that trip and will start to share some of the wonderful things with you that I was able to participate in  during my time there.

Some of these photos may show up again later as part of a story, but I wanted to go ahead and post a few from the film that I just got back.  I’m so excited to see what happens in the future with TSC and Egypt.  I hope you enjoy a few “teaser” images from Cairo and I’ll be back soon.
