Sherry and I have come down with the Chikungunya virus. We both have a high fever, aching bones, and it's awful. Early this morning we are making a ten-hour drive to the Dominican Republic. Thank the Lord that our Haitian driver Philemon will be driving us. We are meeting with Carlos to look at two different...
We are now getting ready to register many of the poor children in the mountains to attend schools. These little darlings are in their uniforms and have sponsors, which allow them to attend school.

Update on "baby-no name…" The little baby who was abandoned by his mother and left at our front gate on Sunday morning about a week ago is still at the Petit Fre ak Se Hospital in Port-au-Prince.

Jesus is talking about the sowers and the reapers, and he says, "...that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together…" John 4:36 - You may be sowing and we may be reaping on the mission field, but we rejoice...
