Jesse Ostrander and our Haitian construction team are building three more new houses in Miracle Village. We started building Miracle Village after the 2010 earthquake for all the earthquake victims. We now have a little over 500 houses, including Kingdom Connection village, which is part of Miracle Village. We are full now, and there isn’t...
Some of you may not know, but we also work in the Dominican Republic, which is on the same island as Haiti. We love the Dominican people there and also the thousands of Haitians who live there. We distribute food to many poor Haitian families who live in the batays (sugar cane camps). They are...
"Abandoned" Have you ever been "abandoned?" It really means "left behind" or forgotten about. Sometimes, we have read that a baby was found "abandoned" in a garbage can. People abandon puppies or dogs they don't want. But being "abandoned" can mean many other things, too. A husband leaves his faithful wife after many years for...
Little Zachary is a "mess!" He is the funniest little guy I have ever seen, and all of our kids at our Children's Home love him! He has the funniest smile of any human being, but he only smiles when you say "smile!" The other day, he got some new tee shirts and shorts which...
What sweet gifts to poor mothers!!! Here are some precious mothers in our Birthing Center. They never knew they would all be receiving a pair of the "best-made sandals" in Haiti. They also received shoes and "onesies" for their new babies; the onesies say, "I'm a Little Blessing!" These sandals and shoes came from our...
We have five Feed My Starving Children containers in customs right now. We have three more containers of FMSC meals coming in next week. This will be 2,176,000 meals for the Haitian people, especially the children. The Haitians are rejoicing! I woke up this morning thinking about the many families in the interior who woke...
THREE PROMISES! “He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.” Proverbs 22:9 “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." Proverbs 11:24-25 “He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack:...
It’s hard to imagine that this sweet little baby in his father’s arms was about seven years old! Unbelievable! He definitely had the worst malnutrition, a killer called “Kwashiorkor!” His legs were actually “splitting open” with fluid. He was losing his hair. He looked “fat,” but that’s deceitful. He was fed the wrong kinds of...
Today, we welcome Jesse Ostrander to Haiti. This week, Jesse and the Haitian construction team will be building three houses in Miracle Village for poor families. (These are the last houses we will build because Miracle Village is full of houses!) This week, Jesse and the Haitian crew will be re-modeling the old Jesus Healing...
Our Haitian construction crew is working hard to finish the "Staff Housing" for our Jesus Healing Center workers. We have a lot of people working inside of our beautiful Jesus Healing Center (doctors, nurses, cleaners, people in pharmacy, in the JHC office, etc., altogether 49 on staff). Construction is going on every day, and we...
