How many would give "their right arm" to have perfect peace? They have troubled lives and do not know that the Lord is King of "perfect peace." People have asked us lately, "How can you live in Haiti with gangs all around you, and have 'perfect peace?'" We will all have storms in our lives,...
Little Carlos was about 15 months old when his mother, Jan, came to the gate of our old orphanage. At that time, we already had about 30 kids and could not take in anymore. Carlos’ mother had been sleeping in the streets with him and, she told us, “Sometimes in a cemetery.” She needed food...

Even when the snow was piled high, or when there was no food on the table, she never doubted God. She always taught me that God gives little battles, because He is preparing us...
When we first met Jackson (Jasson) in the mountains of Savaan Pit, Haiti, it was during a Mobile Medical Clinic. Jackson’s uncle had brought him to us because “Jackson was sick!” He was not only sick... he was dying of severe Kwashiorkor Malnutrition.
