As you may know, we took Dieuferly, one of our older children, to the Dominican Republic for surgery on one of his club feet. The doctor did the worst foot first and it was quite an undertaking. Dieuferly had so many operations in the past when he was a child and most of them left...
Sherry and I sent an update on the 7.2 magnitude earthquake around 11:00 this morning. I just checked and I see it did not go out. Our phone lines here have not been good, and many of our e-mails did not go out due to the earthquake. I hope this post goes through. First of...

"Lo-de-bar" is only mentioned twice in the Bible. But, the most famous story of this place concerns the grandson of Saul, "Mephibosheth." When David and Jonathan, the son...
Wow! Just look at our ATC workers and this delicious okra!! (Bobby “loves” fried okra!) Haitians eat it differently. They boil it and use it in all kinds of dishes!
