“Fishers of Men…” “And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17) “… he that winneth souls is wise.” (Proverbs 11:31) When I was a boy, I fished every day after school. In my last year of high school, my English teacher would come each[…]
When we started building our orphanage, we knew it would be a two-story orphanage, with girls on the top floor, and boys on the bottom. We knew it would have to be big and also have two kitchens. One businessman told us “Not to build it beautiful because people wouldn’t[…]
“Make your calling and election sure…” All of us have a “calling.” Some people are called to sing, while others are called to teach or encourage people, but we have something we can do that others can’t. Years ago, especially in the 1970’s and 1990’s, there were a lot of[…]

The U.S. will be funding $100,000 to help restore law and order. Africa will be the lead nation. Watch your news tonight[…]
Operating an orphanage in Haiti takes a lot of patience and understanding! Their culture is much different than ours… Here, we see Noah, Zachary, Kenzy, Joshua, and Samuel. Widelene, one of our older girls, took this picture yesterday as the little guys were heading off to church! Haitian adults and[…]
“You’re Missing One Thing.” I always hear people talking about “how much they love the poor.” There are a “lot” of “extremely rich families” in Haiti. They live high, high up in the mountains in a private area. Their homes are much alike, or some even better, than some movie[…]
