Our precious Miliana is now a young lady. She is doing well, but she still has a major skin disease which has been hard to treat. (Some call this the "tree-trunk" skin disease, which means that she has growths coming out all over her arms, hands, and legs.) We found her while in the mud-hut...
We just delivered to our school and community feeding program 48,600 Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals in the area of L'Artibonite. We did this by going the back roads to a 130-mile journey through gang areas. Thank you, Nelio and our truck driver Casimi... "Heroes of the faith!" Next week we will be delivering...
I can remember the day we saw this little girl in a very, very poor village in Haiti. She made me “stop in my tracks.” Her hut was just pieces of dried banana leaves. She sat on a little wooden chair outside, and she had her tiny hands wrapped around a small wooden pilon. I...

At the Agricultural Training Center, Haitians learn how to have bountiful harvests despite dry, barren, and hostile conditions. They...
"Be strong and of a good courage...” These were the words of Moses as he was getting ready to die and pass the "mantle" on to Joshua. He said, "Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to...
We first met "Jovanie Jean" at our old rented "orphanage building" many years ago. She had "very red hair" from malnutrition, and we did not know much about her family. We just took her in, and soon she became part of our family. We sent her to college to become a nurse. She passed her...
Madamn Kerlande is 35 years old. She lives in a poor village called "Madamn Bauje." (Sometimes, when a Haitian person does a lot for village people, the people name the village after that person.) The Village of Madamn Bauje is not too far from us. Madamn Kerlande's husband, Wilderson, is a motorcycle driver; he has...
