“No power, no fuel, no food, no funds.” This is a recent message from the Field Director of Grace So Amazing (GSA), a development organization in Mirebalais, Haiti. Recent riots due to gas prices and unemployment have made things in Haiti even more difficult than they usually are (if that’s possible). Crossview High School Youth Ministry in DeKalb, IL, started a partnership with GSA when they visited Haiti in 2015, and again in 2017. Normally they’d be going to Mirebalais this summer but due to the unrest, travel is restricted. In lieu of going they set a goal of raising $25,000 for GSA this summer. Would you help?

All profits from Kyle’s book and design will benefit GSA’s Children’s Home & Academy.  $15/t-shirt: Bella + Canvas, heather raspberry, navy print; fashion T, 52/48 cotton/poly. (click on View Specs for sizing, or stop by Crossview Church to view samples). Pre-order deadline: May 23rd, arriving June 8. for pick-up or mail delivery.

$10/book: “Haiti! Up! is so beautiful…”-Katie Olson, Feed My Starving Children; “Beautiful…Written with compassion & deep understanding.”-Kellie Hurt, GSA.  All profits through the summer benefit GSA.  Available for pick-up or mail delivery.

What Teachers, Kids, & Organizations are Saying About “Haiti! Up!”

 

Got to read “Haiti! Up!” with some 4th grade classes last week. Great discussion as they’re the same age as the main character. The purpose of the book is to tell the story of our beautiful & broken neighbor: Haiti. The book benefits a children’s home and school in Mirebalais, Haiti. Click the link on the menu to order a copy for your kids, school, church, or library.

“Neighbor As Yourself” Featured on Northern Public Radio

This was a fun interview with Northern Public Radio! “Neighbor As Yourself” is the January selection for their #WNIJreadwithme book series. Grateful for WNIJ’s commitment to featuring regional writers. I imagine that’s an unusual thing in radio. Click the link below to hear the interview, watch a reading, and to read Host Dan Klefstad’s accompanying essay:
