Haiti Trip Day 2: Teach a Nation to Fish

Most of us have heard the Chinese Proverb “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” That’s most definitely Operation Blessing’s motto. We started the second day with a tour of one of OBI’s most groundbreaking livelihood projects: the largest fish farm in the entire Caribbean, operated by Dr. Valentin Abe, one of Time Magazine’s 2010 Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.

The fish hatchery was incredible! Each one of the barrels contains 30,000 fish – a special crossbreed of ..read more

“The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety.” ~ Isaiah 14:30a

Its the end of day #1 in Haiti on a trip as Goodwill Ambassador for Operation Blessing (http://www.ob.org). It has been long, eventful and emotional, to say the least. I still haven’t quite processed everything I saw and experienced today…but will try my best to paint a visual of what its like here.

The flight down from JFK airport to Port-au-Prince was packed with a combination of U.S. based Haitians, doctors, nurses and amazing volunteers with huge servant hearts coming down ..read more

Haiti Earthquake: Help Victims Right Now

As many as 3 million Haitians were affected by the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Many have lost their homes and loved ones.  It is heart-wrenching to see tragedy strike those who are already struggling and impoverished.

In 2008, I traveled to Haiti on a mission trip that really impacted my life, and it holds a very special place in my heart. My eyes tear just thinking about the overwhelming fear, confusion and sense of loss the people of Haiti are feeling right now. But in the midst of this tragedy, according to The New York Times, thousands of Haitians gathered today for ..read more

O! ’tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments.

I was contemplating what to share for my Christmas message, and before I wrote a word I read an email from Mark Alexander, Editor of The Patriot Post. Its a wonderful message that eloquently puts into perspective the true reason for the season: the joy, the hope, the light that entered a dark world when Our Savior was born. MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Light of the Universe

Football a Marketplace for Ministry? How God is working through Tim Tebow.

The sweet taste of victory belonged not to the Florida Gators, but to God.

I’m settling back into the swing of things here in Seattle after a great Thanksgiving trip to my hometown, Virginia Beach, VA. Reflecting back over the holiday, there’s a ton to appreciate: family, friends, food, health, God’s daily provision….and yes…college football Saturday!

There’s nothing like watching the final regular season football game of my Alma Mater, the Florida Gators. It’s a highly anticipated part of Thanksgiving weekend. The tradition is simple: Must be clad head to toe in orange and blue, armed with school spirit and my world-famous ..read more

Wear the Full Armor of God in Your Workplace

I find it extremely encouraging and empowering to visualize that I am wearing not a suit or a uniform as I prepare for each day of work, but rather the full armor of God. I encourage you to focus on this powerful scripture as you prepare yourself mentally and spiritually each day as a minister ..read more

Shane Claiborne’s article in Esquire Magazine: “What If Jesus Meant All That Stuff?”

This is an excellent article that I read a few days ago in Esquire Magazine. Its a great letter to those who don’t believe worthy of a repost here:

What If Jesus Meant All That Stuff?

This radical Christian’s ministry for the poor, The Simple Way, has gotten him in some trouble with his fellow Evangelicals. We asked him to address those who don’t believe.

By Shane Claiborne

To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians. Christians who have had ..read more
