Little Jameson is one of the sweetest little boys we have ever met. His mother had come to our clinic via a little boat across the lake, from a poor village. Jameson's skin and eyes always had a horrible skin infection. Many times, his eyes would swell shut. His skin was red. The doctors said...
Today, we visited a new area that we had never been to. The “spelling” might not be correct, but they call it Belvi. There are about 80 very poor families living here in the middle of “nowhere.” They had to move from a large town, Croix-des-Bouquets, due to gangs! There is a small Haitian military...
Update from Jesse Ostrander which came in last evening. "The team is here in Santo Domingo winding things down from a very full day. Lionel was seen by the hand surgeon this morning to make sure everything was progressing fine. The wound looks good and all the skin grafts look good. We are praying that...
God is the God of restoration!! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” Joel 2:25 The spirit of the Lord laid heavy on my heart to give many of you this scripture...
Little Jonas is “about ten.” We say that because when we rescued him from being a slave child, he didn’t know his birthday. We found him as a “restavek slave child,” working in a garden in the mountains. He was under the harsh care of a lady (perhaps a relative). More than likely, his parents...
This is Daniel with his twin sister Daniella. They both came to our Children's Home after their mother died during childbirth. She had given birth to triplets, but the third baby died with her. Ever since Daniel was small, he has had horrible problems with his eyes, especially his left eye. Doctors in Haiti did...
“Worth More Than Gold” I have never seen so many TV commercials to get us to buy gold! It seems they are on all day. Maybe those people don’t know “what’s more valuable than gold…” The Bible teaches us that when Joseph was wrongly thrown into prison, in a strange country, that God gave Joseph...
After Lucson’s mother died in childbirth, his father immediately brought him down from “Covant,” one of the highest mountain areas in Haiti. Lucson was always small and tiny as a rat, but smart as a whip! He makes good grades in school and knows a lot of Bible verses. He also loves basketball. He is...
We are in the throes of another busy day here in Santo Domingo, full of doctor's appointments and tests. We should finish things at 8:00 or 9:00 tonight. We make the most of our time here. The days are long but very productive. The Dominican doctors here are second to none, top-notch. They are very...
Here is Yonel, from our Children’s Home, at our Love A Child apartment in Santo Domingo. He is home from the hospital. The doctors thought his surgery would take two hours, but the operation took them five hours. They even had to take on two more assistants. Yonel has a new hand!! I just got...
