“A Far Country” “And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luke 15:13) The story is told in Luke 15 of a rich nobleman with two sons. The younger son wanted[…]
He wasn’t always smiling… You see, Jonas was beaten, tortured and made to work like a grown man because he was a “restavek slave child!” We found Jonas while doing a “Food Distribution” in the mountains. His mother and father had died, so he was sent to a relative to[…]
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established… – Proverbs 15:22 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety… – Proverbs 11:14 Last evening, Sherry and I took our board of directors out to dinner and[…]

Nakou is another village that receives our Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals… 28,080 meals. The Nakou people are very thankful. Sherry only allows the women to come to pick up their box of food, which lasts the family for about a month. Each box weighs 33 pounds. I cannot[…]
“Walking in Waist-High Wheat” “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (John 4:35) Never before have we felt the urgency to preach the Gospel,[…]
