This morning here in Santo Domingo, Jesse Ostrander took little Jackson to two more doctor's appointments. He had six appointments yesterday, plus two more today. The Dominican doctors take such good care of Jackson. Jesse Ostrander does such a good job lining up all these appointments, and he usually spends all day at the hospital...
I can't think of anything else to call Madamn Eliante Derisaint other than "the church lady!" (She reminds of a church lady from a television program.) She is extremely funny, loud, and always playing jokes. But when it comes to God and prayer, she is "serious!" Every morning at dawn, she leads the morning worship at our Jesus...
God is bigger than the problem! "…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matthew 17:20) Sometimes, our problems are big. Sometimes, they seem big as a mountain. Sometimes, we can only see the mountain. Let's look past...
We just got a report from David, our good facilities manager, who was finally able to make his way through the blocked roads to inspect the office building.

For those of you that have been praying and wondering about how our staff and office building in Fort Myers, Florida, rode through the storm, we are relieved to report that all staff are reporting in and are ok, but most have sustained varying degrees of damage at their homes. The roads are still blocked...
Our schools in Haiti have not started yet due to the gangs and insecurity. Just imagine, having all the boys and keeping them busy! In the States, they would be on the internet. But even if they had laptops or iPads, we don’t have internet most of the time! It takes fuel to keep the...
With the help of Pastor Jentezen Franklin, we created the Grand Miracle Marketplace to provide a safe space for Haitians to work and to promote our sustainability initiatives. Though the gangs, natural disasters, inflation, and political unrest threaten the stability of each person’s life here, we remain a light in the middle of darkness, providing...
“How Big is God?” Have you wondered if “God is big enough” to handle my problem? Well, let’s see… ” But the Lord is the true God, He is the Living God, and an Everlasting King.” (Jeremiah 10:10) “He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and...
