This morning, Sherry and I will be doing our LAC board meeting from Haiti by Zoom. We are so thankful for a wonderful board. Thank you for a great job, Sandra and Rad, our executive directors. Our Feed My Starving Children shipment of 272,000 meals was delayed till Sept. 18th due to storms in the...
We live in a time when everything is "instant," or "I want it now!" Sometimes, when we pray about something, we want it "now!" David, the Psalmist, spent much time with the Lord... even when he was a young man tending his father's sheep, he would sit and write Psalms. The Lord became his "best...
Hannah Jean Jules was born in the mountains of Demesseau, Haiti. Her mother died at birth, and Pastor Emmanuel begged us to take her. She was in poor health with malnutrition. We do not know anything about her siblings... Hannah (often pronounced Anna) is in her 11th grade at school, so she has two more...
We found Lomene when she was just a young girl. She was taking care of several families, washing their clothes by hand, and doing all of the work! We do not like the fact that children in Haiti, who have lost a parent or both, will end up as a “restavek slave child!” This often...
This was really a tough one for me. The scripture in Romans 12:20 tells us “how to treat our enemies.” I have always favored the “King David” way of taking care of our enemies; after years of dodging gangs and roadblocks and not being able to go to a grocery store, or to the graduation...
Wow, what a day! We had a successful day training and putting out fires. Thank you so much to all of the great people who planned and put this whole mission together! It was a success! Thank you, Rino Global Solutions! Jonathan L. Pratt memorial mission trip will be remembered by all. Thank you to...
These Haitian children amaze me! Most of them have been with us since they were very young, like Bianca. She has two other siblings with us... Their aunt told us that the children’s parents were killed when a small Haitian boat capsized en route to the U.S. We may never know... Bianca is “tiny but...
Haiti is very dangerous in some areas. We have Bianca, Kidney, and Lovely going off today. Our college kids must go through “gang territory” to get to their apartment so that they can go to college. The trip is “fragile,” as they will be stopped by gangs along the way. We are asking you, right...
Today we are witnessing a little miracle in the midst of total chaos! This morning we started a fireman training at a safe place across the border in the DR. Thank you, RTS mission, for this beautiful safe location. Yesterday we got word that on Thursday, they plan to shut the border down because of...
Our “Jesus Healing Center” does just what it’s supposed to do… “Provide healing from the inside out!” Each morning starts with prayer, and then, they hold up the “Book of Remembrance” to pray for all who helped sacrifice to build the “Jesus Healing Center!” They sing, and our Pastor prays with them; then, it’s time...
