Yonel has grown into a fine, sweet, and hard-working young man. He got married a little over a year ago and moved to the Dominican Republic looking for a job. But, it is not easy for a Haitian to get a job there… so, he moved back to Fond Parisien. He is a painter, but...
Haiti is facing a "humanitarian catastrophe." The severity and the extent of food insecurity here in Haiti is growing worse by the day. Gangsters have been blocking the major fuel terminal for two months now and are causing catastrophe and hunger. The route has been blocked for several months now heading to South Haiti. No...
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing.” Psalm 30:11 Sometimes, after overwhelming grief, it may seem impossible to smile or laugh again.

"Ti David" (Little David) is a tough little kid, but he is so, so sweet!!! He was the "seventh child" born into a poor family who could not care for him. A kind neighbor had taken him in, but after a while with the cost of milk, diapers, etc., she could no longer afford him....
PTL! Our Internet just came back up. It may go off again at anytime. We have our generator back on and all the dirty diesel cleaned out. Our Haitian son Stanley and staff went to buy some black market diesel for $10.00 per gallon. We are buying 800 gallons. We can only buy so much...
