Together in Mission: Haiti

There is a new Lutheran Church in Haiti. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Haiti is a growing body of believers with 12 congregations scattered across Haiti. The Florida-Bahamas Synod of the ELCA asked me to put this video together for the 2010 Synod Assembly.

Heading to Haiti

A Haitian boy plays a home-made guitar. This photo was taken several years ago while in Haiti on a shoot.
ELCA Disaster Response, ACT Alliance and the Lutheran World Federation are sending me to Haiti to record images and reflections following the January 2010 earthquake. I will travel via convoy through the Dominican Republic to Port Au Prince.
Your prayers for those affected and for myself as I travel are greatly appreciated! After you pray, support Haiti relief.

Iraqi Voices Amplification Project
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Causes, Education, Faith Based Production, Middle East, News, Peace and Justice, Travel
I am excited to announce that on October 1st, I leave with a group of artists for a three week trip through Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Even better, I want you to come with us!
As part of the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project, Intersections International has brought together a delegation of creative artists, for a trip to meet with Iraqi refugees and various humanitarian agencies. We’ve created the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project Blog (www.intersectionsinternational.org/iraqivoices) to share our daily experiences with you. We will post video clips, audio interview files, photographs and reflections. You will also find complete biographies about the other artists as well as the history of the project to date. Please subscribe, check in daily and share your own reflections with us.
The Iraqi Voices Amplification project will lift up the stories of Iraqi refugees who have been forced to leave their homes and country as a result of the current “Global War on Terror.” The Iraqi refugee crisis is one of the most underreported humanitarian crises in recent history.
An estimated 5 million Iraqis have been displaced from their homes, many living as illegal migrants abroad, unable to work or access health care and other social services.
Intersections International reached out to us and we have all formed a group of story-tellers, dancers, musicians, journalists, playwrights and photographers to gain a more complete understanding of this crisis and then help tell the story. Once we return to New York we’ll craft a multi-media presentation about our experience. We hope you’ll join us for the journey. Sign up for the Intersections newsletter to get updates as we travel and about this project.
You can do even more with us on the trip. To help offset the cost of our travel, room and board you can donate to Intersections International. For donations of $50 or more, we’ll send you a postcard from our trip. For donations of $100 or more, we’ll also give you a shout-out on the blog as a project “Amplifier!” To support the work of Intersections International and the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project go to:

P.S. Remember,to join us on the web as we travel through Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. We will be posting audio and video updates along with daily summaries to our blog.
