“I know what I’m doing, Lord!” Have you ever thought that? What a great story there is in the Bible with Joshua chapters 8 and 9! We told a story a few days ago about how Joshua, the great leader, had gotten his “tail whipped” by King Ai. The reason behind this was that Joshua did...
This sweet, kind, and humble young lady has made us so proud! As you may know, she was just five when her poor mother appeared at our gate many years ago, when we lived up in the mountains of Mt. Noire, Haiti. Widlene and her baby sister were malnourished, and her mother was suffering from...
Madamn Philemon is one of our main cooks. We feed 411 employees, twice a day... and boy, can they eat! Madamn Philemon is not only a good cook, but she is a "healthy meals cook!"

“When God Does It, It’s Perfect!!” Have you ever sent someone to do a job for you and wondered if they would do a good job? Maybe it was a friend you sent or even a family member… Living in Haiti, we are always sending someone out on an errand. Sometimes, they do exactly what...
Yolanda… She was born in the high mountains of a remote village called Covant. (You have to ride mules to get there!!) Her mother, Marie Hermulus, died shortly after Yolanda was born. Her father, Jean Estima, was unable to care for Yolanda and her six siblings. The local pastor asked us to take her in....
Throughout history and in almost all cultures of the world, bees are associated with positive things like fortune, blessings, abundance, and a good life. This is certainly true in Haiti, where the presence of bees is an exciting prediction of blessings to come. The other morning, when Wilner arrived at the Agricultural Training Center (ATC),...
