We first met Dieubon when his mother brought him to one of our Mobile Clinics. He had "club-feet." There was no help for him in Haiti at that time, so our good friend, Dr. Chester, found a surgeon and hospital for him in the states. He and his wife took Dieubon with them and kept...
“What is Faith?” Taps and Knocks! There have been so many books written about “faith,” and sometimes, in those books, they make it so complicated that you cannot understand. I am a person that likes “simple, uncomplicated things.” I am reading Acts 3, where Peter and John went into the Temple at the hour of...
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....
"Almost Aborted..." The women who come to our Birthing Center come for several reasons. One reason is that they don't have to worry about paying and another reason is that it is the most beautiful Birthing Center in Haiti. Another reason is that we have some of the very best midwives, and doctors, that there...
In this week’s episode, your heart will break as you witness a little girl’s brave demeanor crack at the mere mention of a meal. Parents start working at the break of dawn, with only a small hope that at the end of the day they’ll be able to feed their children. At night they lay...
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...
