Thank the Lord, so far, Haiti is still calm. We are taking it one day at a time, believing for the best. However, Haiti and its politics are very unpredictable. All of the warring gangs and opposing groups in the government have brought great suffering to poor Haitian people and business people. So many talented,...
“Judge not, that ye be not judged…” Matthew 7:1 When my mother was alive, she was a “saint.” She never spoke ill of anyone, and she loved every one, but most of her friends were kinda “nutty.” She had one friend, who was supposed to be a “lady preacher.” I will just call her Wanda. Wanda...
We are so blessed to have "Lovely" in our family. As some of you may know, someone told us about Lovely when she was a baby. Her mother had died, and her father abandoned her. (We were told her mother died of AIDS, but we are not sure). An elderly lady told us about her,...
The construction workers are laying the tile in the new medical staff dorm! They have been working into the late hours of the night. They are so happy to have a job. Haitians are very hard workers. Mark Ostrander is buying the furniture in America as I write this. We are moving and shaking! The...
This morning we were supposed to have been in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, at the hospital with Dieuferly, for his club feet prep and operation.

"Is this the same little boy?" Is this the same little boy who sat naked on the ground, in the heat of the sun, with no food and water? Is this the same little boy who could not stand at all? Is this the same little boy whose stomach was swollen with Kwashiorkor Malnutrition? This little boy...
Yesterday, we shared a few pictures of little Noah, at his Pres-School III graduation. Today, you can see “the rest of the story!” He and the other little boys had to march up the aisle dancing with a little girl! That was bad enough… But they made Noah bow on one knee and present flowers...
"When I see the blood..." It's a song that I have heard in many different churches for years and years... I heard them singing this song in Creole here in Haiti… "When I see the blood... I will pass over you." We forget the importance of "being covered by the blood of Jesus," because churches...
This is Noah. Some of you remember his story. Noah was found in front of our gate, beaten, starving... He even had bite marks on his body. It took a long time get Noah back to health and we never knew if he would be "normal." But Noah thrived on love! Soon, he began to walk, talk,...
