Welcome!

Family & Friends,

Welcome to our new blog!  As you can see the title is "Adventure Forever- Grimms in Haiti."  This is a continuation of our former blog, "Our Adventures in Haiti," of which many of you were faithful followers.  This updated title reflects the new work God is doing in our lives...solidifying our calling to serve the people of Haiti and giving us a path to being able to live there long-term.  That path involves Cory's recent acceptance of a career missionary position with Christian Reformed World Missions, who have maintained a permanent presence in Haiti for almost three decades.

We welcome old friends who supported us in previous adventures as well as new friends who will partner with us in the years ahead.  Our hope will be to move to Haiti sometime this summer.  Before that time we will need to raise funds from churches and individuals, recruit prayer partners, and undergo training through World Missions.  Cory will also continue his job as a pastor with American Reformed Church in Luverne, MN, until shortly before the time we leave.

In the weeks and months ahead we will update the progress of our preparations for moving, describe the work we will be doing, and introduce you to our many new ministry partners in Haiti.  As always we will authentically share our adventures, struggles, joys, and prayer requests.  This time around the kids have also agreed to contribute to the blog with reflections on what God is up to, what it is like for a kid to move to Haiti, and other thoughts.  So please consider checking back on a regular basis, or feel free to submit your email to the right in order to receive a notice when a new blog is posted.

Please pray for the people of Haiti as they embark upon an unknown political future.  In normal times the federal government is unstable.  This is even more true these days as a transitional government with an interim president has been appointed due to an unsuccessful election in January.  The hope is to have the long-term government in place in a couple of months.  The practical impact on regular folks is rioting in the streets, reduced income from tourism, a sense of uncertainty, and the complication of daily lives which are already difficult.  Pray for God to raise up godly, visionary leaders for Haiti!


May God Bless Your Adventure Today!
