It is not uncommon in Haiti, for a father to abandon his children if his wife dies. Who will go a long way to the market? Who will wash the clothes, and clean and cook, (where is the food)? And, how can a father work all day in the garden if there is no one...
We had a wonderful morning, giving Feed My Starving Children meals to 90 organizations who came for their monthly food gift. Over half of the organizations have orphan homes. The meals were a huge blessing! 272,000 meals! We want to thank all of our children who helped load the meals for the visitors and our...
Many of our wonderful partners have been sending in clothes for our children. We had some nice t-shirts and casual shirts, tennis shoes, etc. that had come in for the boys! I don’t know about the states, but boys here in Haiti are rough on clothes and shoes! I try not to let them wear...

Who would ever imagine that just one hour and forty-five minutes from...
Don't be discouraged… “Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:7 Have you ever felt overwhelmed and just felt like giving up? Has Satan ever told you to just give up and quit? One time, about 4 years ago, I asked a dear friend, Toro Townley, who was a...
There are children all over Haiti, from the mountains to the garbage dumps, who live “day by day.” They try to find joy in the smallest things, because their lives are rough. They walk miles for a bucket of water, help their father plant seeds into soil that will not grow, and they try to...
