This morning I was out before 3:00 am, and I saw expecting mothers standing at the gate waiting to come in. I was very touched. Then at 6:30 am, we took a picture with some of the expecting mothers behind us. They were waiting to go in for classes and to have exams. One mother...
“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.” Psalm 138:8 Do you ever wonder how much time we spend “thinking that no one understands what we are going through,” or that “maybe the Lord has forgotten about us?” He said, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.” Jeremiah 1:5 He knows the...
Little Kenzy 's mother died during childbirth. His father had just died before this... so their Haitian pastor brought Kenzy all the way down from the mountains of Demesseau to our place. Kenzy was malnourished and "sickly." As he grew, he was always "frail," and "sickly." He was slow to play with other children because he just did not...
Yesterday at Nan Savaan was special for the children. This sack of rice we gave each person is almost bigger than the little boy! Plus, we gave each child a piece of candy! Boy were they happy. Cooking a hot meal for the children brings joy beyond compare. When we feed the hungry, we do...
Yesterday, we were deep in the mountains of Nan Savaan, Haiti. Here is a short video showing you some of the culture of the poor of Haiti, and how they live. May we always live to serve the poor. Bobby and Sherry

That's Joshua. When he smiles, he smiles "head to toe," and when he laughs, "he laughs all over!" He is funny, mischievous, and loud! He was found abandoned and left for dead, in front of the road by our orphanage. He was screaming and crying and had large sores all over his body... he was...
"Nan Savaan" What does that mean? It means, "in the weeds or in the grass." But, where we were this morning, there was little grass... only weeds, thorn bushes, rocks, and "nothing." This little village is in "the middle of nowhere." It is near a riverbed but has high mountains all around... very little trees,...
By the time you receive this note, we will be in mountains, feeding the hungry children, and also sending food home to their parents. Many of these children have been in such a state of hunger that they have been drinking “saltwater soup” for their only meal. We have seen so many cases of malnourished...
“Facing the Hard Stuff” We all have to do it. Not everything will go easy every day, no matter how we pray, or give, or go or do. This is real life. We all love to do the nice things... visit the sick, take food to the hungry, comfort or pray for someone. But each and...
