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. That’s when we get into trouble by “trying to help God out.” Yes, we do all that’s possible and let God handle the “impossible,” but waiting on God is crucial. His ways are perfect!! “For as...
Little Samuel is now 7 years old and in 2nd grade. He had been left in horrible condition… and his mother was not able to care for him. We took him in, bought clothes for him, and raised him with our big family! Samuel is always smiling and always missing some teeth, but he is...

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...

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...
“A testimony from the king with eagle feathers and bird claws…” King Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, had a heart full of pride, was bound by sin and never helped the poor.
