This came in to me from Wilner Exil, the head of our Agricultural Training Center. Helping Haitians, help themselves. Thank you, Hope Seeds, and Joe Perkins of Sustainable Food Production for the shade houses, and for all your help. All comes from a seed… Genesis 8:22 Plant a seed today[…]
Treasures in Heaven. Nothing is really safe anymore… thieves break in and steal, banks become unsafe, people get robbed on the internet… Your whole life can be stolen by a “click.” We cannot even put our confidence in banks anymore! Living in Haiti for over 30 years teaches one a[…]
Little Jameson is one of the sweetest little boys we have ever met. His mother had come to our clinic via a little boat across the lake, from a poor village. Jameson’s skin and eyes always had a horrible skin infection. Many times, his eyes would swell shut. His skin[…]
Today, we visited a new area that we had never been to. The “spelling” might not be correct, but they call it Belvi. There are about 80 very poor families living here in the middle of “nowhere.” They had to move from a large town, Croix-des-Bouquets, due to gangs! There[…]
Update from Jesse Ostrander which came in last evening. “The team is here in Santo Domingo winding things down from a very full day. Lionel was seen by the hand surgeon this morning to make sure everything was progressing fine. The wound looks good and all the skin grafts look[…]

Little Jonas is “about ten.” We say that because when we rescued him from being a slave child, he didn’t know his birthday. We found him as a “restavek slave child,” working in a garden in the mountains. He was under the harsh care of a lady (perhaps a relative).[…]
This is Daniel with his twin sister Daniella. They both came to our Children’s Home after their mother died during childbirth. She had given birth to triplets, but the third baby died with her. Ever since Daniel was small, he has had horrible problems with his eyes, especially his left[…]
“Worth More Than Gold” I have never seen so many TV commercials to get us to buy gold! It seems they are on all day. Maybe those people don’t know “what’s more valuable than gold…” The Bible teaches us that when Joseph was wrongly thrown into prison, in a strange[…]
After Lucson’s mother died in childbirth, his father immediately brought him down from “Covant,” one of the highest mountain areas in Haiti. Lucson was always small and tiny as a rat, but smart as a whip! He makes good grades in school and knows a lot of Bible verses. He[…]
