We have a phrase around here that helps us in “seeing” what direction God would have us pursue, we call it “connecting the dots.” You may remember as a child using the connect-the-dots coloring book. After connecting the dots in the “right” order, an image would emerge and you could finish coloring in the picture. Through the years the Lord has been faithful to connect some dots for us spiritually and in this way we see an image of His purpose and will emerge.

God’s Image Emerging and Enlarging 

The great adventure is that the image of God’s will is ever unfolding and growing all the time. This is how Hand to the Plow has tried to proceed for over 21 years now, we simply try to connect God’s dots and watch the picture emerge. While we began with a very specific call to pray for Haiti (and we still embrace that calling), other dots have emerged and the image of His will for us is ever growing.

It is our desire that this website will give you a picture of how the dots are connecting and the image enlarging. You will see that the ministry in Haiti has grown from work camps to include clean water projects, Christmas for Haiti, and now, the building of the new Mission House for Phyllis Newby.  

Beyond Haiti, the Ezekiel Stick ministry is literally touching the world with a simple walking stick and a powerful message of God’s faithfulness in the midst of suffering. Also, Joshua Expeditions (read more) take us all over the world “on assignment” for the purposes of seeing God’s territory taken back.
