Our sweet Dumolia has been such a blessing to us! She came to us when she was under four; she may have been younger. Her father brought her to us because she had fallen into a large cooking pot of hot water. It completely melted her; she could not even turn her neck or lift...
Haiti's children are so vulnerable to malnutrition. They often get marasmus malnutrition "from hardly eating anything at all." But kwashiorkor malnutrition is more severe. To the mother, the baby looks "fat," but this is deceiving. The baby is eating but not eating the right kinds of food. Therefore, the baby is just "bones and water."...

“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22 Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti!

These are very precious people.... very few have a job. Haiti has an 85% "plus" unemployment rate. During these horrible times in Haiti, the people, especially the children, break...
We just hated to leave the sweet people and children of this poor village, high in the mountains of Haiti. This was the "first time" we had ever been to this village to do a feeding program and give boxes of food to the mothers. There were "so many people!" It was a good thing...
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105 These days there are a lot of words in the news from politicians; from everyone from all walks of life. Everyone is saying something. We have a lot of bad news all day long on TV. The word “Gospel” means good news!...
Those of you who know Florence know that we have had her since she was about a year old. We took her, her two sisters, and her brother in when their mother died. She has had asthma since she was small and is not doing badly. But now, she is in a medical university in...
This morning we left for the mountains of Mapeki. Wow! What a rough trip through the mountains...we were "above the clouds!" The roads were "really rough and extremely dangerous.” We drove on the edge of cliffs, nearly all the way up! Pastor Souffrance, who works a lot with us, along with Peter, and Joseph (a...
