Samuel is really "growing up!" We have had him since he was a baby, when his father had to "give him up," because he had six other children to care for. I can remember his father holding him, and crying. Life in Haiti is so sad... His mother had died during childbirth, as did the mothers of...

This place is only "temporary" until the Lord calls us "home." A touching story is told of an old missionary who had given his life to the mission field. He had spent...
Little Kenzy wasn't feeling well today. He was so weak and sick that Dr. Barthelemy gave him an IV that helped some, but they had to take him to Ebeneezer Hospital anyway. Kenzy has sickle cell anemia, which causes him weakness and many other problems. The doctor believes that he will be there for two days. Kenzy came...
