In Haiti, nothing is easy... and finding the right doctor is sometimes harder than you think. This is Daniel, the twin of Daniella... both are now 17. Daniel has always been the sickly, weak, and frail baby. We didn't think he would live. Actually, there were supposed to be "triplets" instead of twins, but the...
A "Ginger Tea" Almost Kills a Mother and Baby... Each day, many mothers take the risk of coming to our Love A Child Birthing Center despite the gangs, the oppression, the lack of money... and despite their "fear." Many come by motorbike, many take public transportation (tap-taps), and others get here "any way they can!"...
Last Thursday Sherry and I brought Djonsly and his mother, Marie, to Miami so Djonsly could be checked into the hospital. The hospital is taking very good care of him. I'll be glad in the future when I can share the name with you. They are worthy of a medal... the doctors, nurses, and all...
In due season, we shall reap! “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 When we plant a seed, it takes time for the seed to germinate. When it does it brings forth a harvest! It's easy to grow weary and almost give up....

DON’T GIVE UP! “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 Stedfast, unmoveable, are the two keywords here. Sometimes we all feel like just giving up. We must keep our eyes on Jesus. Keep going forward....
I think Haitian girls spend more time on their hair than American girls... There are always those "braids!" Haitian people and children are very nimble with their fingers and hands... Even the children can braid hair, "fast!" Here, we have Natalie braiding Betina's hair! Natalie was brought to our "old Malnutrition Clinic," because her mother...
These pictures of Jasson (Jackson) just came in from Jesse Ostrander, who is working hard to help us get good medical care for Jasson and some of our other children. These are pictures of Jasson touring the Pediatric Nephrology Center so that he can see and understand what will happen if and when he starts...
When we first got our property in Haiti, the land was quite ugly with briar bushes and weeds, etc. After building the Orphanage and other projects we expanded our vision to have an "Agricultural Training Center."
