How A Mission Trip to Haiti Changed My Life
This past week was the closest I've ever actually lived in my faith, and that makes me sad. I've gone to great lengths to serve but I knew at so many moments during this trip, that I had so much work to do and that God was moving me to do it. Haiti was the poorest country my eyes have ever seen, but while I was there, my heart had never felt so rich.

Erykah Badu Takes a Stand to Help Detroit Rape Victims
Another reason to love Erykah Badu has arrived. The GRAMMY winning singer is joining the campaign to process abandoned rape kits and find the criminals connected to them by partnering with the Right Productions. In the partnership, Badu has agreed to donate money from her Aug. 12 concert at Chene Park Amphitheater to the African American 490 Challenge. The 490 is a partner of Enough SAID, the Michigan Women’s Foundation campaign raising money to test more than 11,300 rape kits found abandoned in a Detroit Police Department storage unit in 2009. The 490 Challenge bears that name because each kit costs $490 to test. About 10,000 kits have been tested so far, and money is now going toward completing the tests and investigating the results.

How to Support the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the Victims of the Dallas Shootings!
Today is officially the last day of what was certainly a week of tragedy and sorrow, we join the country in mourning and seeking fostering insight. This post offers ways we can remember Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the Victims of the Dallas Police Shootings.
Sadly the deaths of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile, in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, were both killed by police. Their deaths, which were both captured on video, reminded us that as country we may not have came as far as we often think. It aches at the hearts of mothers, fathers and people everywhere. As one could imagine, these killings added to the already long list of police killings, 123 black people killed by police in 2016 to be exact, have sparked protests nationwide. To add to the madness on Thursday night at was to be a peaceful protest in Dallas, TX, Five Dallas PD and Dallas Area Rapid Transit officers: Michael Smith, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Patrick Zamarripa and Brent Thompson; wounding six more, as well as one civilian.
