CJ

Hello, I am CJ McMunn and I am going to be a sophomore at Biola University (Los Angeles, CA) next year. I am from Minneapolis, MN, and this is my first blog post. Excited? Me too.

I have been involved in sharing the Gospel to Haitians in all sorts of circumstances. Most of the time, we are in an IDP (Internally Displaced People) Camps, sharing with Haitians in there own environment, sometimes we are invited into their tent and other times we will talk outside or on the ground. The local town nearest to us, about half a mile up the road, is called Chambrun. We go there and share a couple times a week, and talk with people in their homes, on the soccer field, in the street, or on our own Nehemiah Vision Ministries Campus. We also shared the Gospel at a high school, and at the beach. This group of Campus Crusade for Christ students have a strong evangelical mindset, and it has pushed me to be open in sharing the Gospel with everyone we meet. Whether we bring it up sooner or later in conversation, it has always come up. If we encounter believers, we will pray with them and affirm them in their walk with the Lord. So, I thank all the students here for their courage and ability to share truth with anyone and everyone they meet. I have been running with some students and leaders too, and that has been an absolute joy. Haiti has brought my heart to a new place- a place of comfort and satisfaction. Never thought I’d say that, but this country and it’s wild-minded people are a blessing to my life. I swear women in this country can carry more on their head (without using hands) than I can with both arms.

I’d also like to tell my family members that I have been driving a forklift around the camp here, and I think it’s funny because I drive one at home for about 30 hours a week. Wherever I go the warehouse follows me.

Mom, Dad, Tyno, I love you very much and have received your texts, also I have checked my email. I miss you, and am praying for you. Don’t worry about me please (Mom) because the circumstances here are very good. We are blessed with beds and a roof and good food. I love it here. I might not come home, just kidding, but maybe. Alright, God bless everyone.
