Jackson (Jasson in Creole) is a very special little boy. Those of you that have heard his story know that he almost died of Kwashiorkor malnutrition. He is from the mountains of Savaan Pit, Haiti.

Years later, he is doing much better now, but he still has kidney problems. He is a quiet little boy. He does not play a lot of sports and is usually by himself. I asked him one day what he wanted, and he said, “A Creole Bible.” I said, “Show me your favorite verse in the Bible, and I will highlight it for you so you can find it faster.” I was a little shocked to find out that his favorite verses were Philippines 4:1-3. I asked him what he thought about these verses, and he said, “Help the women who work hard for the Lord.” Then, he read the scriptures of Paul. Of all the verses, these were the ones he liked.

Oh yes, the first Bible that I gave him he “lent” to one of the older boys, so I gave him mine! What a sweetie! I almost cry when I look at him! We sure love Jackson! He will make a good husband one day! Sherry
