Our first fruits, our best gift to the Lord... “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10 The first fruit offering was an offering required by God of the Israelites. It's mentioned several times in the Old Testament. "The...
Little Zoey was found abandoned on the dirt road entrance to the village of "New Letant." Apparently, the mother had too many children and she didn't want another one. We took her to the Department of Social Services, and they sent her back to us… it was like, "You found her. You keep her!" At first, Zoey...
Sherry and I thought we would be back in Haiti by today. Yesterday morning at 9:00 am, we had our second Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. You must have proof (of a negative COVID-19 test) before you can fly to Haiti or on other international flights. We received our negative test results at 4:10 pm yesterday. All-day...
This little baby is Sambou. He is five months old and actually, he is from a village near us. There is an epidemic of scabies in Haiti among children, and Sambou got a bad case of it! Sambou's uncle, Wickenson, loves his little nephew and brought him to our Jesus Healing Center. This case...

We’re thankful for our semi-tractor, which was sponsored by one of our partners, who wants to remain anonymous. The semi was purchased in Florida and shipped to Haiti. It has already picked up and delivered several containers of Feed My Starving Children food (which has already been distributed!) The semi-tractor came to Haiti with ten new “re-cap”...
"Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Dream!" The Bible says that Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph, his son, “more than all his brethren, they hated him…" (Genesis 37:4) "And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more." (Genesis 37:5) When God gives us a "dream," it is a promise... a promise of what...
Building and operating a large orphanage in Haiti is challenging but so rewarding. When you bring children in, you never know the whole story of what they have lived through. This is Jean Edwouard. He was a restavek slave child in the village of “Old Letant.” The first time I saw him, he was carrying...
