Harry Whitt on the Journey with Jesus
This month is the 25th anniversary of Pathway Outreach Ministries. I paused today and thanked God for His voice of calling and His hand of blessing. It has been truly twenty-five years of miracles and we are still praying and expecting more. We are also so thankful for those of you who have helped us during these many years.
I just returned from Haiti and I had a good and safe trip but it was the most dangerous time I have ever traveled to Haiti.
Butch Suddath and I finally made our way to Haiti. We were hindered in February by the protests that had blocked roads and made our travel within Haiti almost impossible. God blessed us with clear roads and a calmer situation. We pray for peace and political stability for the country of Haiti. We had no problems during our stay but it is something that stays in the back of your mind. The embers of unrest can quickly flame up. We appreciate the prayers that were prayed for us.
On a recent Sunday, I preached using as one of my texts, Psalm 119:32 (NKJV), “I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.” God works to enlarge our hearts so we can embrace the Kingdom of God and our place in it. The Lord has touched my heart once again to stretch my faith so that we can stretch our reach in the name of the Lord. I don’t know yet what more He has in store for us but I feel the rumblings of the Holy Spirit within me. The Lord will enlarge our hearts to encompass His leading into the furtherance of His Kingdom into this world. Stay tuned…
My last time in Cuba was seventeen months ago, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect as far as the people, accommodations, food, and the like. My traveling partner this trip was Gerald Hubbard. It was his first time to touch foreign soil and his first time to fly, so I was excited for him and interested in his fresh-eye perspective.
When I visited a slum area in India, I witnessed children living in squalor and it dawned on me, they were still smiling. I then thought about the thousands of children I have seen in Haiti and other places—in spite of their abject poverty, they continued to smile. Their smile has kept me smiling. There is something captivating about a sweet, innocent, smiling face. I love to see children smile (grownups too).
I had a great Journey with Jesus to India in the middle of January. I was gone for the most part of eleven days. The journey to and from India is quite an ordeal because it is literally on the other side of the world.
Odd and Unusual Things I Have Learned Traveling
This may be a little weird and I wondered if anyone was really interested in weird and trivia stuff from some of my experiences in other countries but here goes…

Old Boots and Old Friends
Old boots are much like old friends. They started out maybe a little stiff and came across somewhat stand-offish.. At first they may not have seemed a perfect fit but the more time I spent with them the more we molded into one. As we walked the roads together, we became a team of one.
