Fulfilling Obligations

Greetings one and all! That's right, we have NOT dropped off the face of this glorious planet. We're still kicking. SO MANY THINGS going on right now but I thought that I would just pop in and offer you a small peek into my "life-space" as it stands right now.

One of the biggest lessons that I have personally been trying to learn as of late is that of the importance of servant hood. As I am learning, you are either a servant or you are not. There are no two ways about it. And, as the Bible tells us, you cannot serve two masters.

So the posts have been few and far between right now because I am fighting hard to wrap up outstanding obligations that I have had. Wedding videos, favors, and other assorted prior commitments are being attended to and swept off the plate in order to make way for our fully-attended, complete focus on God's call on our lives. Thanks for your patience during this time. We do so look forward to announcing some very exciting news in the not-too-distant future. Stay tuned!

As of this post, all trips are still current and will take place. Check back regularly for updates as schedules can change.

Love you all!
Luke Renner

*For more information about the differences between the "Discover Haiti" and the "Vision Quest" trips, please click here. Due to the complexities of the "Vision Quest" trips, space is extremely limited. As such, those interested will be asked to fill out a basic application. That will allow us to build the best team possible for each excursion. FIRESIDE INTERNATIONAL reserves the right to refuse the "Vision Quest" experience to any person(s) it deems "unfit" (either spiritually, emotionally, physically, or otherwise). Applicants who are denied (for whatever reason) may re-apply for a future "Vision Quest" trip or immediately assume a position on the next available "Discover Haiti" trip. Do not be intimidated by the application process. We don't bite. The application process in only in place because we know exactly what you're "in for" and you do not. We don't want you to bite off more than you can chew. Also, please be aware, each "Vision Quest" trip is presently under review for possible shortening. Nine days might be a tad too long for first-time visitors to Haiti. Our results for this decision will be made known as soon as they are made.

"Base Camp Announced"
Each trip that FIRESIDE INTERNATIONAL hosts will have it's own dedicated website that acts as an information hub and as Base Camp for the groups traveling on a specific set of dates. Currently, only the "Vision Quest" sites are up for 2005. Please feel free to visit them regularly for information updates and changes. For those checking on "Discover Haiti" sites, please keep checking back for a link. It will be posted shortly.

Here are the sites:
