“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.

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.

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."

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.
