It’s hard for us who don’t live in Haiti, to understand how Voodoo changes the lives of good people. My father was an alcoholic, and I remember how he could grow angry “quickly,” and take it out on my brothers or a family dog. Voodoo can drive a person crazy. Colin’s mother had cooked a...

Malnutrition, among children in Haiti, is getting worse! The infant mortality rate year after year is going up! Many children live out on the streets, “abandoned by their parents.” They stick together to try to survive. It is not uncommon to see children caring for other weaker and younger children than others. This phenomenon is...

"Don't Stay in the Pigpen!" All of us make mistakes. We are human. All of us fail the Lord. I know I have, more than you. But the good thing is that "He is right there to pick us up again..." We began our ministry on the streets, preaching to African Americans in a poor...
When we took her in, I thought her name was not fitting for her, so we have always called her Rachael! The first time we saw her was when her “very poor” mother brought her to us. She had a horrible skin infection. We gave her medication, but her mother always came back with her....
Life in Haiti is brutal, and every member of the family must work to survive. Your heart will break as you watch children walk barefoot across rocky terrain looking for something to eat, while other children crush a handful of food, meant to feed themselves and their siblings for the day, in a pilon. They...
