Today is Mark and Evie Ostrander’s 48th anniversary, and yet, here is Mark, working hard for the people of Haiti. Bobby took this single picture of Mark this morning. He has made over 600 trips to Haiti. Evie, Mark’s wife, handles everything in the States for Mark.

Mark is the Pastor of “The Mission Church” in Palm Bay, Florida. He and Evie and their son, Jesse, have been working with us and helping us here in Haiti for many years. He is the head of the construction projects you see here at Love A Child. Mark never misses a Sunday church service in his church. Evie, Sherry’s best friend, helps her in Mobile Clinics and has for years. Evie is one of the most gracious and sweetest people we have ever met. They have blessed us all through the years!

On another note, before Mark began to do the construction work here at Love A Child, he was our cameraman! On one trip, way into the mountains of Covant, we all had to ride mules. We were on a tiny narrow path with steep drop-offs on both sides of the mountain! Little did we know that Mark was following us on his mule, with one hand holding the mule’s reins, and with the other hand, he was balancing the TV camera.

When we saw the footage, we saw the ears of the mule bouncing up and down as Mark made that mule trip with the camera on his shoulder!! We have wonderful memories together, serving the Lord! Happy anniversary to you, Mark, and Evie!!!

We all love you,

Bobby and Sherry
