Word from the Mission Field

It was Well Worth the Trip!!
Years ago, we had made trips up the mountain of Haiti to one of the farthest areas, one of the most difficult trips, and one of the most remote Haitian villages we had ever worked in… a village called “Covant.” To get there we had to have “four-wheel drives,” traveling[…]

In the midst of this chaos, they continue to expertly plant, fertilize, water, and harvest many different types of produce.
