This morning, here at Fond Parisien, we could feel the tension and fear in the air. We always have a morning meeting at 6:30 am with our main workers... they are all concerned about Haiti. Haitians are a people who "laugh at almost everything." But not now. We see worried faces everywhere. I had to...
Please pray for Jackson: Very important Tomorrow will be Job's surgery. Update: Yesterday, both Jackson and Job had appointments with doctors. Job had some x-rays taken of his leg and chest so that he can be cleared for surgery. The leg x-rays were for the surgeon. The chest x-rays were for the pneumologist. Today Job...
The calling of God… “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14 “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10 If we are truly called of God, nothing can stop us… adversaries, demons, man, discouragement, walking through...
STATE OF EMERGENCY I'm hearing that right now the Port-au-Prince airport is under attack by the gangs. Another source just texted me saying that the airport has been taken over by the gangs! I cannot verify any of this. We are about 30 miles from the airport. The U.S. Embassy e-mailed asking all Americans to...
When I first saw Mackenson in the arms of his father, I thought, “Surely this toddler will die.” But, I was “more than shocked" when I found out that this “toddler” was seven years old! Malnutrition had stolen many years already. We had to bring him back to Fond Parisien and begin the long path...
Well, after we finished the pizzas, we took the busload of children back home for ice cream, cake, and fun games! I love the game where you run with the egg on the spoon without dropping it! We laughed so much last night. Happy Birthday, Daniel, Jameson, Bobby, Miliana, Kenzy, Daphline, and Samuel! We love...
"How Big is God?" I have come to find out that “God is as big as our faith.” Some people limit God according to what the conditions are. But God is not moved by the conditions around us. We missionaries here in Haiti, are surrounded by gangs. They have broken into prisons and set them...
This evening, we took all of our children over to Dieuferly and the boy’s restaurant at the market. We had seven children with birthdays. We celebrate once a month! They had pizza, among other foods. Oh, they were happy! Thank you, David and Angie George for sponsoring the pizza, drinks, and the works. We love...
After we built Miracle Village, we built the "Life Changers International Church" in the middle of the village. Thank you, Pastor Gregory Dickow for funding most of the church, a huge blessing for all these people who lost their homes in the 2010 earthquake. Pastor Belgarde is a wonderful pastor. Thank you, Pastor Gregory, for...
"The Best Hiding Place." Have you ever been faced with danger? When I was a small child living in Pennsylvania, we lived out in the country. We had a neighbor whose name was Bernie. She was terrified of storms, and each time a storm came, my mother would send me over to her house to...
