The annual CPR-3 board meetings are quickly approaching... This always gives me a chance to "pause and reflect." There are times that we can all get so busy "doing" that we do not take time to stop and reflect on all that God has done and is doing. I am humbled to be a part [...]

To that end we have organized the Respire Lavi Haiti Network. This network is led and implemented by Haitians to [...]
“Culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants. Years of study have convinced me that the real job is not to understand foreign culture but to understand our own. I am also convinced that all that one ever gets from studying foreign culture [...]
CPR-3 has begun selling purses on behalf of some ladies that attend the Bercy church. This is a small micro-business that they have started. The purses / bags are beautiful and have made their debut in Chicago this week at Momentum. The bags sell for $20 and all proceeds go back to these ladies to [...]
