Seems like nearly every other week we have a team from C3 headed out somewhere. Our last team just returned from African not even a week ago until we sent another group to Haiti.
Some of you know that @ C3 we are more like facilitators in building villages that restore and repair the lives of [...]
Kenya, the last stop on the African trip for our team. It’s not a huge surprise that the team has been having a great time; meeting, planning, seeing the needs in Africa first hand so that as they return in a few short days we can continue to make adjustments to how we meet those [...]

It all started with Malawian doctor, Dr. Anne Maseko Alaniz, delivered Joe and Julie Knittig’s (C3’s Executive Director) last baby, Bella. In the hospital, the Knittigs’ [...]

Day 10 was a day or review for Marsha and I…we spent several hours reviewing our trip and a few more really sharing our notes on each village we were able to visit and capture…
Some great stories were retold, a few of which we will be talking about more soon with many of you.
So for those of you [...]

We left early to get a head [...]
Over a week in Haiti and were still loving life…in fact now more than ever! At this point Marsha and I have probably made lifelong friends with our partners and will always have a few special orphan kids that just keep us working extra hard for this cause!!!
Day 8 was all about Cambry, in the [...]
Day 7 of our Haiti trip was a trek to our first destination, the village of Cherette, Haiti. Cherette is know for its heavy practice of Vodou and most of the area are pretty hard to get to (so you will need a good 4×4 and a really good driver), but we have a great presence that [...]
