Day 1 again in Haiti

Today I flew to Haiti for a second time. And when I walked off of the plane I was singing. I couldn't be happier. I love working here. I love the people. And we have an amazing group of people all working together. They inspire me constantly.

We drove to Newburg NY at 1am and got on a plane at 6am. From there we flew to Fort Lauderdale where we had a four hour layover. Then we flew to Haiti. Last time coming into the airport was chaotic and somewhat scary. But I'll give myself some credit and say I'm getting better at this. We, as always, had to hurry up and wait, but that just seems to be the way it is. We were waiting for one more of the group to make it to the airport because there had been a thunder storm in FL that delayed our flights. But in the end we all made it safe and sound to the airport.

Again walking outside there was chaos as we tried to haul all of our bags through while being watched by a crowd. But this time it just felt normal and expected. We got to our new little bus that MHJ (Missionaries in the Heart of Jesus) shipped to Haiti for their use and for Pastor Vincent and his kids. (He is the pastor we worked with before with the kids and for the food distribution and clinics in Cité Soleil.) And from there we went to the guesthouse. We were all exhausted. We ate dinner, unpacked, and relaxed. And now it is time to get some rest because tomorrow we get to work.
Goodnight!
Love has no borders,

I never would have guessed...

Dear Friends and Family, Many of you may know and some may not so here it is... drum roll please... I am headed back to Costa Rica, and this time it is for two years! This past February, I visited Costa Rica to recruit GAP students for Lancaster Bible College. While I was there I heard about their need for a new Female Student Life Coordinator. I never anticipated this position being available at a time when I would be in a position to take it. While I was in Costa Rica with LBC I was able to speak with the directors of the program who offered me the position. After I returned home I had a lot of praying to do. I took about two weeks to pray and seek good counsel. After considering my options and seeking Godly wisdom I called the director in Costa Rica and officially accepted the position. In this position my primary responsibility will be to build relationships with and disciple the GAP students in the program. We hope to have 20-25 college age st...

Dream Job

Pc: Abby Shaw Hello everyone! It has been a little over a month since I arrived in Costa Rica to serve as the Female Student Life Director for the GAP program. In some ways being here is still surprising because I never imagined I would have the chance to come live here again. In other ways, living in Costa Rica and in the Villa feels absolutely natural; it feels like I am home. In many ways this is my dream job. Starting from 10th grade when I first traveled to Costa Rica I knew I wanted to spend my life traveling and mentoring students. I had no idea what that would look like or that I would end up in Costa Rica. Then not only am I working at GAP, but, I am also continuing to work for Lancaster Bible College as their International Admissions Counselor. God has been so generous. Our Leadership Team GAP Students 2018-2019 Pictured above is this year's GAP class. The students have been here for three weeks. In those three weeks they have begun...
