What a blessing! Like “cold water to a thirsty soul,” so is the Word of God in troubled times. The poor Haitian people have been through much in the last two years. Many have lost their homes to the gangs or lost everything they had. The majority do not own a Bible, so they only...
“When Enough is Enough.” Tired of fighting those battles? Does it seem like “you win one, you lose one?” The enemy’s plan is to tire us out so that we will give up, but we can never “give up.” Ephesians 6 tells us about our “battle.” We learn that we are never, never fighting against flesh and blood, although...

Jackson is doing well today. He is still on the “24 hours a day” dialysis protocol. The doctors are trying to get his system cleaned out. He is feeling better and is eating. Praise God that the dialysis doctors here know what they are doing. We are believing God for a good report tomorrow. Jackson...
“A Very Present Help.” What a comfort these words are in the times we are living in: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though the waters thereof...
Daniello is from the village of Old Letant. His father was hit in the head by a rock and died. After that, his mother also passed away and the poor village people were trying to keep him alive. Daniello has some dysfunctional problems… for instance, when we sent him to school, he would get up...
