Those living in Haiti right now have so much to fight against: unemployment, food scarcity, rising inflation, gang violence, and a complete lack of peace and stability. So many families are just trying to survive each day, searching for one simple meal, and working hard to make pennies, they are desperate to find just a...
“… Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6: 8) Isaiah obeyed the calling of the Lord, as he went and proclaimed his Word! God spoke to Moses out of the flame, “… the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.”...
This is our sweet "Jonas." You may remember that he was a "restavek," child that we found in the mountains during one of our Food Distributions. The word restavek, in Creole, means, "rest with or to stay with." However, it is just a nice word for "slave." When a Haitian child's parents die, they go...
All Haitians love to laugh and play!! Even if the kids don’t believe in Santa Claus, it brings great joy to the kids! This year, our big, tough, worker (over the boys), "Camy,” was Santa! Camy and the kids go around the property each afternoon and pick up trash, and make sure the property is...

Sometimes we think we have benefits until we read the small print, and the small print is not on our side. The Lord also gives us a policy. It is called the Word of God, and it has many benefits.

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; 7. so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Wow! A...
We just got this sweet note from our precious Daniella. She is in her first year of college in Haiti. She will be studying hard to reach her goal of becoming an “eye doctor.” When her twin brother, Daniel, began to have problems with his eyes for many years, she decided she would become an...
After living and working here in Haiti for many years, we have seen a lot of "mothers and babies" who have died in childbirth because the mothers either had poor health, or the babies were born in filthy conditions! I once saw a man in the mountains run outside his hut and take a glass...
“What if God Gave Us His Leftovers?” How would you feel if someone “prosperous” invited you to their house for Thanksgiving dinner, and when you arrived, they said, “Glad you came over, we’re going to have ‘leftovers,’ just for you!” I’m sure you would be gracious but maybe just a little hurt or a little...
The kids call him “Ti David” because we have an older “David,” so this one is “Little David.” He was born into a poor family of seven children and his parents could not face the responsibility of feeding another child. They asked if we would take him in. He is a sweet kid, but you...
