"Stop crying. Something better is on the way!" In 1st Samuel 16:1, the Lord speaks to the Prophet Samuel. Samuel was the Prophet of God who had anointed Saul as King. But now Saul has disobeyed the Lord time and time again, and the Spirit of God has lifted from Saul and an evil spirit...
Ginyia… The Haitian spelling is Djinia. This cute little 9-year-old has a lot of talent. Either one or both of her parents were Dominican. Her mother died during a C-section, and her father abandoned her and left for the Dominican Republic. He never returned. She was being raised by her 17-year-old cousin, but when she could no...
We are thankful to God for all his blessings this year. We are thankful to so many of you who have stood by us blessing the poor of Haiti.

Thousands of families lost their homes in last year’s devastating earthquake. Since then, they have had to scrounge together leftover rubble to construct makeshift shelters.

“How to be Blessed and Stay Blessed!” “He that hath a ‘bountiful eye’ shall be blessed; for he giveth of ‘his bread’ to the poor."

Zoey is three and she has already learned how to "wrap" Poppie Bobby around her little finger! It is hard to think that, even in a poor country, a mother would throw away a baby, leaving it on a dirt road for someone to find. But, that's what happened. Zoey's mother, a poor Haitian woman,...
Sherry and I moved to Haiti on July 1st, 1991… In September of that year, a coup happened to overthrow President Aristide. For almost three years, Sherry and I lived by candlelight because we could never afford an inverter and batteries to produce light at night. Now here we are in November 2022, having to...
