Welcome to Starfysh. Fledgling. Infant. Wet behind the nonprofit ears. Birthed just months ago (incorporated February, 2010) and still awaiting official IRS nonprofit designation, Starfysh is, nonetheless, very actively growing behind the scenes. Web and literature development, legal, policies, strategies. All early, important, and necessary steps in creating the foundation for long-term effectiveness in a forgotten, out-of-the-way island of precious people in Haiti. They deserve our best and we shall give them our best.

Now, the last thing we want to burden cyberspace with is another hastily-developed, static website that never has anything new to say. It is our hope and expectation that Starfysh will always have something new to say. This weekly column is where you can find those “new things,” a journal of sorts. Updates, news, stories, reflections. If you’ve read this far, I count that as a success. Thank you. It means (I think) that you’re OK with “new” and grassroots and will probably at least give Starfysh a chance.

Bullet Points:

• An official, public launch of Starfysh is being planned for the Fall.
• 100% of each gift designated for a specific project will go directly to that project. Zero percent of that gift will be taken out for “administrative fees.” To learn more about how we pull that off, go to “Where Needed Most” on our projects page.
• We have just reached the full funding necessary to provide xray capability to a small mission hospital on the island of La Gonave. We anticipate delivery to the hospital in about one month, installation soon after that.
• New on this site is a place where you can go to get very specific suggestions on how you can pray for this ministry and for the people on the island of La Gonave, Haiti. Please pray. We dare not proceed without God’s blessing, wisdom, and protection.
• In just a few weeks I will be traveling to Haiti to meet with school, hospital, and village leaders on the island. Pray for direction, protection, connections, and progress.
