A child who is crippled in Haiti will never survive unless “God wraps divine favor all around him!” I guess that’s what happened to (Jean) Richard! In 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti so violently that it killed and crippled thousands. Orphanages were destroyed. Immediately after the earthquake, we were contacted by a handicapped orphanage because...
