Word from the Mission Field 12-23-13
“Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?” Isaiah 58:7 – The “rich man” in the Bible was never concerned that there were poor adults and children starving to death all around him. It is[…]
Child Sponsorship 12-22-13
A hungry child doesn’t mind “eating with her fingers.” This is one of our school children in the mountains. (Many times the children forget and take our spoons home so we are constantly short of spoons.) However, these children don’t mind using their fingers. They had “nothing” to eat before they[…]

Feeding the Poor
When someone in the States holds up a sign saying, “I’ll work for food.” Sometimes, we are worried about giving them money because they want the money and won’t “work for food.” Here in Haiti the poor peasants work hard each day building a road through the mountains by hand. […]
Children playing 12-20-13
There are no video games, Wii’s, or laptops here at the orphanage this morning. It’s just fun to be kids and use “Play-Doh” again! Christmas vacation will soon be starting and we have LOTS of children. That means, “time to work” and “time to play!” Sherry
