When we started building our orphanage, we knew it would be a two-story orphanage, with girls on the top floor, and boys on the bottom. We knew it would have to be big and also have two kitchens. One businessman told us “Not to build it beautiful because people wouldn’t[…]
“Make your calling and election sure…” All of us have a “calling.” Some people are called to sing, while others are called to teach or encourage people, but we have something we can do that others can’t. Years ago, especially in the 1970’s and 1990’s, there were a lot of[…]
Florence… Florence and her three siblings were the second set of “four brothers and sisters” that we started our Orphanage with. Florence was only about a year and a half old when her mother died, and her father could not care for four children with no mother. We took these[…]
Every day there is a battle for the lives of the poor in our Jesus Healing Center Clinic. Every night is filled with fear. The Haitian Proverb says, “When a Haitian lays down to sleep at night, fear lays down beside them!” Not only do the poor fear “evil spirits”[…]

The U.S. will be funding $100,000 to help restore law and order. Africa will be the lead nation. Watch your news tonight[…]
Operating an orphanage in Haiti takes a lot of patience and understanding! Their culture is much different than ours… Here, we see Noah, Zachary, Kenzy, Joshua, and Samuel. Widelene, one of our older girls, took this picture yesterday as the little guys were heading off to church! Haitian adults and[…]
“You’re Missing One Thing.” I always hear people talking about “how much they love the poor.” There are a “lot” of “extremely rich families” in Haiti. They live high, high up in the mountains in a private area. Their homes are much alike, or some even better, than some movie[…]
Poverty, disease, and hunger are killing Haiti’s children, especially toddlers. There are more gangs every day, taking over the homes of the poor, the businesses, and the roads!
