This morning, at one of our Love A Child schools here on the compound, I witnessed the teachers organizing about 200 three and four-year-old children.

Our Sweet Dimelia (Dumolia)... When she was very young, about five or six, she fell into a tub of boiling water. She burned her chest and neck and other parts of her body. Her father brought her down from the mountains to see if we had any help for her. We took her into our...
Have you ever noticed how often the Bible talks about planting gardens and eating the fruit of them? Verses in Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos, Ezekiel, and Ecclesiastes all talk about planting gardens so you can have something to eat. As these verses promote gardening, we notice parallels in fruitful gardening to living fruitful lives. In our...
