We love our wonderful clinic and our beautiful Birthing Center, but those babies in our Malnutrition Center are so sweet. As their health gets better, they develop little personalities. We have in-patients who stay with us until they reach their desired weight. We also have about 50 "out-patients" at this time. We had a new...
Update on Dieuferly. Dieuferly D'or is now 22. We found him while doing a Mobile Clinic in the mountains of Belle Fontaine, Haiti, (nickname, Coven). It had been a long rough ride in four-wheel-drives and then, on mules for many hours to get there. That's when we found Dieuferly and his family of nine children. He was...

You can't find it, unless you know where it is. The village of Madamn Bauje is barren and has lots of thorn bushes. It is hidden from sight from the main road. The majority of people here try to sell "something," to make a living. We have drilled for water several times but only found...
How Can We Preach the Gospel in a Voodoo Village? We first visited Despeezo years ago when we were going to do a Mobile Clinic. This village is not far from other villages where we work, Madamn Bauje, Cotin, etc. We noticed a large Voodoo house, (tonnel), with lots of drawings on it. There are...
“Only the shoes know if the socks have holes...” A Haitian Creole proverb. Well, one thing is for sure... these beautiful new black school shoes will hide any "holes" the socks may have!! Getting heavy-duty black school shoes for the children is a real problem here in Haiti. In the United States, kids can wear...
"Give Up and Let Jesus Take Over." "And behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the Hem of His garment; For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be made whole." Matthew 9:20-21 This woman, who had severe bleeding...
Joseph and his sister, Sarah, were both abandoned by their father when their mother died. (Half of the children from our Love A Child Orphanage came to us because their mother died and their father could not take care of them, or their father abandoned them!) They arrived at our orphanage both with malnutrition. It...
