Soccer is big here in Haiti. Mid-June starts soccer season here. Different communities and schools will be playing each other for the championship. In Miracle Village, we have a large soccer field. When a hot team is playing, hundreds attend. They always stand or sit on the ground. I felt in my heart to put...
It doesn’t take a whole lot… “… If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20 Jesus also used the mustard seed as a short parable in the Bible. “… The kingdom of heaven is like to...

For many families, the mother is the “breadwinner” because fathers have abandoned their families for a better life in the Dominican Republic.
