samford students at convo

Today at Samford's convocation, three students spoke who were at Canaan during January. They all are nutrition students and were assisting with the nutrition program. One of them, Katie Snider, spent all of last summer serving in the program alongside Bobi. Katie's become a legend around Canaan for her heart and passion for the Haitian people. When Mandy and I first met her at a Starbucks, we could tell she was going to be awesome.

The ladies did a wonderful job sharing their heart for Haiti.

I was so encouraged by a few things:

1) So many more folks were exposed to Canaan and the nutrition program. Who knows what God may bring from that?
2) It reminded me that this whole effort is such a team thing. It doesn't evolve around one person, or an organizational hierarchy. There are so many dedicated people getting after it, spreading the word in their own circles. Two Beeson friends (Patrick and Kennerly King) recently got to do the same and share with their youth group about Haiti. We want you to be empowered to do that too! Please share the story with your friends. Own it like its your thing too.

Amazing things are happening on the ground. I hope to update thoroughly soon.
