There are two types of malnutrition. One is called Marasmus. You can identify this type because you think of the skinny, bony babies, where you can see almost all their bones. They have a lot of weight loss. They are dehydrated... their stomach shrinks and they have diarrhea. There is another type of malnutrition called...
“Make your calling and election sure…” All of us have a “calling.” Some people are called to sing, while others are called to teach or encourage people, but we have something we can do that others can’t. Years ago, especially in the 1970’s and 1990’s, there were a lot of “Gospel Tent Crusades!” Bobby has...
Lovely… One of her parents died and one developed a disease that brought death. We know a lady who sold “Haitian handmade” items and everyone called her “Madamn Cheap-Cheap!” One day, Madamn Cheap-Cheap told me about a baby whose parents had abandoned her on the street, leaving the baby with a disease. That baby was...
“If God Wills.” “Si Dieu Vle.” The Haitians have a lot of sayings… but the most popular one comes from the Bible… “Si Dieu Vle.” It means, “If it is God’s will.” James 4:14-15 says, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor,...
Before Sherry and I retire for bed this evening, we can't get the poor children and families out of our minds. Oh, how the families suffer each day from the lack of food and medical care. Such stories would break your heart. We are sad tonight, thinking of all the things the Haitians must endure daily. The...
It was only about two years ago that Job had developed a very bad disease in his lower leg. We had to send him to a hospital for surgery. His infection in his leg was very serious! It took months to heal. Job is doing well now. He is 16 and in 11th grade. He...
Thank you for your prayers. Fond Parisien and Love A Child, who is inside the community of Fond Parisien, is "hanging on by a thread." The gangs are breathing down our necks. The gangs are growing in Haiti and taking more territory every day. We had "more security for Love A Child" come in on...
Power in the blood of Jesus! “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” Exodus 12:13 If we study Genesis 3:15 and 21, the Scriptures point toward...
We first found Noah when he was less than a year old, we believe. He was “thrown away,” in the bushes near our gate. He had “bite marks,” on his face and chest, burns, and much more! It would have had to be someone deeply involved in Voodoo to treat a young child like that!...
All of us who have gardened in any fashion know the pleasure of finally seeing your flowers one day erupt into bright, colorful blooms, or your vegetables finally get to the point of being able to harvest them and enjoy a meal of fresh, nutritious food from your own efforts. Can’t you see that joy...
