MY FAVORITE STORY IN THE BIBLE Last evening, I was sitting on the porch of our orphans’ home when Widelene, one of our children, came up to me and asked what my favorite story in the Bible is. She told me she had read the Bible three times through now. I told her my favorite...
“Our Guide till Death.” Since living here in Haiti for over 30 years, we have been through a lot of experiences, some of them taking place in the mountains. The mountains of Haiti are beautiful from a distance, but actually, they are mostly sparse because of the Haitians cutting down trees since the 1950s. Once,...
His name means “I don’t need you.” What a horrible name for a little boy. Nelson grew up in the village of Old Letant. His mother and father had lots of kids and were deeply involved in Voodoo. He could not walk or talk, even though he was about four or five. His mother would...
Here in Haiti, we wish all our friends in America a Happy Fourth of July! Enjoy your family, friends, hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks! God bless America! We are not perfect, but we are free!! From 1776 to present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence. God bless our forefathers, who honored...
“A Missionary’s Prayer.” So many people have asked Bobby and me through the years, “How do you do it? How can you live and work in Haiti for 33 years and face earthquakes, floods, hunger, gangs in the streets, etc.?” It all has to do with “the price of your calling.” No, it has not...

PART 2, "MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE.” God talks to His people today. We are the sheep of His pasture. Seven ways the Lord may speak to His people: God speaks to us through scripture, His word! Timothy 3:16 He spoke to Elijah in a still small voice which was audible. 1 Kings 19:12 Through prophecy......
UPDATE ON HAITI: Some may say, "You are surrounded by gangs," but we say, "We are surrounded by angels!" Parts of Haiti are very dangerous. Many missionaries have left and several missionary organizations have even left their compounds due to the gangs. Many missionaries have families, but it is too dangerous to be here with children unless they...
MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” John 10: 27-28 Has God been speaking to you this week? Tomorrow morning I want...
