For the past number of years, Haiti, like so many other areas of our planet, has been undergoing “desertification,” degrading the landscape, reducing the capacity of the land to produce food, and drying up water sources. This makes many areas of Haiti very difficult for the people to live in. Reforestation is the long-term countermeasure...
In II Chronicles Chapter 32, we read about a Godly king named Hezekiah. He had brought all his people back to serving the Lord! Everyone was happy and things could not have been better… "until” the king of Assyria, Sennacherib, decided to come out to battle against him and the people of God. This evil...
George was named after Hurricane “Georges” years ago. We knew “about him,” because the pharmacy where I used to buy medicine in Port-au-Prince, had a lady working there who knew George’s mother. She was married to a man who mistreated her, and she did not want this last baby. I agreed to take the child....
Sorry, I thought I had posted this post when we arrived home at our Orphan's Home yesterday evening. I found out that our internet was not working, so I’m resending our post [from yesterday] again... See below. We left this morning at 3:30 AM... flew into Santo Domingo, then drove over to Haiti -- crossing...
The struggles of this world can sometimes be overwhelming, but the Lord has made great promises to us. We must always remember that “this is not our home.” This place is only “temporary” until the Lord calls us “home.” A touching story is told of an old missionary who had given his life to the mission field. He had spent...
We are on the plane now, and Sherry is reading a book about Haiti’s corruption called “Zombie Files.” It is about the “Zombie Hunters Union,” "a group of Security Specialists who worked together in a hostile environment against criminal gangs in Haiti." Zombies are real... the walking dead. Zombies are in Haiti today! After she...
Our AA flight was canceled yesterday. We left at 3:30 AM this morning. We are now at the Miami International Airport, preparing to travel to Haiti through the back door. Then we must drive for several hours to arrive at Love A Child. It will be a long day. We can’t wait to see all...
"Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth... and thou preservest them all; and the host of Heaven worshippeth thee." Nehemiah 9:6 We sometimes forget "how big and how great our God is!" We see horrible changes coming to America, things that used...
Lomene has come a long way in her life. Many children in Haiti become restavek slaves when their parent or parents die. The name “restavek,” means to “stay and live with.” When a child loses one or both parents and has no one to take care of them, they go to a family member to...
We were packed and ready to go to Haiti, via the Dominican Republic... and ready to go to the airport, at 3:30 a.m. but at the last moment, our flight was canceled! Now, we are scheduled to leave here at 3:30 a.m. Monday, fly into Miami, then on to the Dominican Republic, coming in through...
