Ericka just recently turned 17. Her mother became ill after her delivery and died. A woman in a nearby village cared for her until they could find someone to take her in. By this time, Ericka had a horrible skin infection and cried constantly. We took her in but as[…]
This morning, Sherry and I will be doing our LAC board meeting from Haiti by Zoom. We are so thankful for a wonderful board. Thank you for a great job, Sandra and Rad, our executive directors. Our Feed My Starving Children shipment of 272,000 meals was delayed till Sept. 18th[…]
We live in a time when everything is “instant,” or “I want it now!” Sometimes, when we pray about something, we want it “now!” David, the Psalmist, spent much time with the Lord… even when he was a young man tending his father’s sheep, he would sit and write Psalms.[…]
Hannah Jean Jules was born in the mountains of Demesseau, Haiti. Her mother died at birth, and Pastor Emmanuel begged us to take her. She was in poor health with malnutrition. We do not know anything about her siblings… Hannah (often pronounced Anna) is in her 11th grade at school,[…]

Wow, what a day! We had a successful day training and putting out fires. Thank you so much to all of the great people who planned and put this whole mission together! It was a success! Thank you, Rino Global Solutions! Jonathan L. Pratt memorial mission trip will be remembered[…]
These Haitian children amaze me! Most of them have been with us since they were very young, like Bianca. She has two other siblings with us… Their aunt told us that the children’s parents were killed when a small Haitian boat capsized en route to the U.S. We may never[…]
Haiti is very dangerous in some areas. We have Bianca, Kidney, and Lovely going off today. Our college kids must go through “gang territory” to get to their apartment so that they can go to college. The trip is “fragile,” as they will be stopped by gangs along the way.[…]
Today we are witnessing a little miracle in the midst of total chaos! This morning we started a fireman training at a safe place across the border in the DR. Thank you, RTS mission, for this beautiful safe location. Yesterday we got word that on Thursday, they plan to shut[…]
