We have had Florence and her three siblings since Florence was a year old. Her mother had died, and her father could not care for his family of four children. Florence has always been our “joy!” After she graduated in Haiti, she received a partial scholarship to a university in[…]
ANGELS ARE AMONG US! “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” Psalm 91:11,12 God sent an angel to open the prison doors for the[…]
Dorissaint… His mother died and his father abandoned him when he was “very young.” The neighbors found this beautiful baby wandering around his family’s hut. The neighbors brought him to us.
