Flag Day!! Every May 18th is “Flag Day” in Haiti, one of the most important national holidays of the year! Haitians love their country and flag! They have no president, but “they have their flag!” From 35 years of living here, we have never seen any Haitian “disrespecting their flag!” Sherry and I had a...
Here are two thoughts that the Holy Spirit has given me through the years. They burn within my heart every day. Faith is not something we just talk about, but faith is something we do. Love is not something we just talk about, but love is something we do! Everyone can talk it, but can we walk it? “For as the body...
Rodna… She is one of our “Love A Child” kids here at our orphanage. When her mother died, her father had to borrow money for the funeral. (This is the story that was told to us!) The men he borrowed money from (for the funeral) kidnapped all her siblings and held them for money! Bobby...
“Let’s go to Church!” Haitian babies are so adorable! Their mothers take good care of them and get them “all dressed up for church!” Each Saturday, Pastor Luders, in Fond Parisien, hires a team that comes in each Saturday and changes the beautiful church decorations! Today, everything was in lavender!! The people “LOVE” their church!...
Divine favor… it is a gift from God! You cannot buy it, nor can you deserve it. There are so many people in the Bible who received “divine favor!” In the Book of Esther, a young woman whose name was “Esther” received divine favor from the Lord! Her Jewish people were going to be killed...
Carlos and Dieuferly… Carlos, left, and Dieuferly, right, both grew up in our orphanage. We found Dieuferly in his mother’s arms, far away, in the mountains of Haiti! He was about a year old. His mother was holding him. We saw that he had “club feet!” We asked her if we could take Dieuferly with...
After the earthquake in 2010, Bobby and Sherry were divinely inspired to build the huge marketplace, Gwo Maché Mirak, as a gift to the community to host commerce so the 1,200 new refugees from the destruction could have ways to make a living. With the Big Miracle Marketplace, the new residents of Fond Parisien could...
I love the scriptures about “helping the poor.” When we do “food distributions,” we give each mother a box of “Feed My Starving Children” food. Most of the time, we give mothers a “bag of cold water,” because they are thirsty and have come a long way. We have been doing this so long that...
She was from a family of four children… Years ago, we had taken in our first four children from the very area of L’Artibonite, Haiti. We never figured on “having an orphanage,” but now, with Florence’s mother passing away, we had to take in another “family of four children.” In Haiti, when a child’s mother...
Dear friends, Here in Haiti, accidents happen easily! There are many motorcycles on the roads. They drive too fast! Two people here in our area nearly died this morning due to “fast-driving motorcycles!” The two people were taken to our “Jesus Healing Center” Clinic!! Read this… “My name is Maswell, I'm from Thomazo, and I...
