After the terrible earthquake of January 2010, thousands of Haitian people were badly injured and homeless as their homes and neighborhoods had crumbled around them. They became refugees in their own country, needing a safe place to get medical care and try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and start over again....
“What’s a Mountain to an Eagle?” Are you facing something “overwhelming” in your life today? We have been through many things, too. Bobby and I have found ourselves with our backs against the wall. We have faced death. We have been “beyond broke,” with bill collectors calling and some trying to repossess our truck while...
Gabion Houses: This week, the crew started building the Gabion houses! We have raised money for 10 houses. Onward we go by faith! Next week, be looking for pictures. Food distributions: Starting Tuesday, Sherry, Jesse, and I, along with our team, will start distributing Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals to different villages. Not only will we...
At dawn on Haiti’s border, small boats cross a quiet lake toward prayer and provision. The roads are unsafe, so mothers and children come by water, each holding one ticket per family and hope in their hands. A humble distribution offers rice, beans, and cooking oil to take home, while children receive a warm meal...

He is short, so it's still hard to believe that he’s 13 and in Junior High! He has chores to do at our orphanage, like helping feed the donkeys and other animals, keeping his room clean, and working with “Camy,” who is also in charge of the animals and yard work! He does “very well”...
She and her siblings were the second “set” of children to come to our orphanage. Florence is a young adult now. She is working full-time in a doctor’s office in Italy. She speaks French, Creole, English, and Italian! I can barely get by with one “other language,” and can you imagine what Florence has been...
It is amazing to me that sometimes Christians think of themselves as someone of greater importance than they are. They have never learned to serve. Bobby and I love Pastor Jentezen Franklin, not only because he is a great minister with a giving heart, but because he is so humble. It is not easy to...
“Sowing and Reaping.” So you, “thought you married Rachael?” It is impossible to plant onions and expect carrots… It is “God’s law of sowing and reaping,” “seedtime and harvest.” Throughout our lives, we are constantly “planting or sowing.” But, we can expect that when we have “sown” some bad things, then we will reap the...
