“Hunger Makes the Dog Climb the Coconut Tree…” – A Haitian Proverb

This is the village of “New Letant.” There is also a village called “Old Letant.” The people of “New Letant” are very poor, but they live in block houses in a separate area called “Kingdom Connection Village.” These houses were built by Pastor Jentezen Franklin/Kingdom Connection after the earthquake. These people used to live by the lake in mud huts, in what is called “Old Letant.”

“New Letant” recently lost their leader, Pastor Sorrell, a wonderful man of God. We pray that God will raise up another leader, another “man of God,” like Pastor Sorrell. We have known these “New Letant” people for a long time. They try to make a living buying and selling little items. Some of them still go down to the lake at “Old Letant” and try to catch fish to sell. It is a tough life for all these people and their families… That is why they really look forward to this box of food each month. This is one of the villages that Kingdom Connection sponsors each month with food. The Haitians have a saying, “hunger makes the dog climb the coconut tree.” It means, “when you are hungry, you will do anything!” Haiti is in a horrible crisis right now, because there are many gangs on the streets. This means that the ladies who sell have a difficult time going out to sell their little items.

All of the food prices have risen “sky high.” There is great “joy” in feeding the hungry and caring for the poor. It’s like “walking under the blessings of God!” We want to thank all of our partners who sponsor food to go to many villages each month. Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your support!!! We love you! Bobby and Sherry
