"The Blessings of the Lord." I really love the Book of Psalms. David is constantly communing with the Lord, trusting in Him, telling the Lord his problems, but more than that, praising the Lord for everything. Listen to this. "He (the Lord), will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. The Lord...
Little Zoey is just a "baby doll!" She is definitely "all girl!" She "hangs out" with the older girls, so she is really into "hair fashions," dancing, and pretty dresses. She really loves to dance with the "Praise Team" of older girls! But, Zoey loves to work, too. She will polish doors, clean, dust, etc....
(Warning: Graphic Photo) For a few months now, the gangs in Haiti have blocked the road going to South Haiti. This is where we are building the special Gabion houses for the families who lost their homes in the earthquake. The people have been desperate for food in many areas of South Haiti. This picture...
“And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger.” Leviticus 23:22 No matter what kind of job we have or...
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. Our nice, tropical landscaping took a big hit, with most of our trees losing limbs and palm fronds, but the building itself had no wind damage nor any...
Jean Gardy is now 24! He was very young when his mother died. So, his father brought him to our "already over-crowded" orphanage. He is small for his age, but he is a "genius" at money. He is taking accounting and this is his third year... but even before this, he was controlling all the...
Many of you know how bad Jackson was when got him. Due to his Kwashiorkor, he had severe kidney problems. We now must take him to the Dominican Republic every 4 to 6 weeks for his checkup. Yesterday, when we arrived, he had a blood test. The doctor here is Dr. Basura. Jessse Ostrander flies...
