Last Friday, we visited a family in the village of “Fonbaya,” not far from the border. We listened to this grandmother, Madamn Delcius, tell her story of trying to raise her five grandchildren “with no food to eat.” She poured out her heart to us as she told her story… her son-in-law was beating her...
What a blessing! The Lord gives an abundance! God bless Wilner and our Agricultural Training Center (ATC) people. The little green onions are sweet, and the citron is like a lime.

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...
