Stephano came from parents who didn’t take care of him. His father abandoned him when he was born, and his mother had mental problems. Stephano is generally a Dominican name, so his parents might have both come from the Dominican Republic or both. Regardless, he was brought to us by the Department of Social Services....
I remember when our Love A Child land was donated to us (almost 100 acres); it was dry and dusty, had cacti everywhere, and you could hardly even walk on the land because there were thorns everywhere. Look what the Lord has done! When you add water and know how to compost, miracles happen. Our...
“Helping God Out” Sometimes, our problems seem so difficult that we may think that God has forgotten about us.

Fritzner is a sweet and quiet young man. He was born in one of the highest mountain areas of Haiti called Covant. His mother died right after childbirth and there is no record of his father. Abandoned, a Haitian Pastor brought him to us. He is so quiet and such a good worker. He and...
Delicious cucumbers, mangoes, and lettuce... the orphanage children love fresh vegetables! Thank you, Wilner and all the ATC guys! Thank you to David Balsbaugh from Hope Seeds International, and Joe Perkins with Sustainable Food Development for the seeds and the shade houses.

Note: I'm sorry for our post being late today. The 400 Mawozo gang has been trying to break through the city of Ganthier, which is only 10 miles from us. Please pray for them and us here... A combination of no rain and the roads blocked to the south by violent gangs has caused a...
