Since the gangs have taken control of the national road of Fonds-Parisien, traffic is difficult. Everyone on the road is scared, the cars are forced to pass at full speed in order to pass the area, which causes a lot of accidents. Today at 7 AM, we learned that there was an accident on Pon...
Imagine being a poor mother in Haiti, right, with five or six children to feed. The price of tap-tap (local transportation) has risen, there are no jobs, gangs control the major intersections and cities of Haiti, police are being killed, mothers cannot get to the market to sell their small amount of crops... and, their...
If anyone ever tells you they never had an enemy, they are lying! Everyone has an enemy. Maybe they don't know it, but someone is watching, who is jealous! The best way to handle an enemy is through prayer! King David had an enemy named King Saul for many years. But David prayed that God...
When we first found Yonel, it was during a Mobile Medical Clinic. We saw a thin, elderly grandma with a very skinny and boney young boy. She also said he had a baby sister who was dying. Yonel had Marasmus Malnutrition. He looked like a skeleton! We knew that if we left him in the...

This truck is an...
Jesus, Our Jesus Healing Center, and Prayer! What could be better than this? Each morning, before we start our day at the Jesus Healing Center, we have prayer and Bible reading. One of our church ladies (who is also a cleaning lady at the Jesus Healing Center), has the "charge" to open the Book of...
“EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE” Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon were written while Paul was in prison… Yet he said in prison under the anointing of the Lord these words, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us…" (Ephesians 3:20) God can do more than what we...
We used to do a lot of medical clinics in the area of L'Artibonite when we first moved to Haiti. Back then, it had small huts and looked a lot like "Old Letant." At that time, we had no orphanage and never thought about an orphanage... We thought about schools and churches. One day when...
We have a Birthday Party each month now for all kids who have their birthdays in that month! This party was for February kids (because we were late)... We have Jovanie, Samuel, Daphline, the twins (Daniella and Daniel), and Stanley. We had ice cream cones and cake and cold drinks; and yes, after a couple...
"Inside Out and Upside Down." Never before have we been living in such a time as this! What you were taught as a child, "was wrong," and "sinful," is no longer "wrong and sinful." What we have been taught as a child, "to respect those in authority," including parents and teachers, no longer exists. What...
