Everyone is working hard on the future staff housing building! Everyone is very excited! It is being built right next door to the Jesus Healing Center. All of the 49 staff, doctors, nurses, lab people, etc., will be living there five days a week. I believe only one doctor out of all of the staff...
We recently visited our Love A Child school in the village of Old Letant. (You may recall that about a week ago, Pastor Sorrell, the Pastor of this village church, died suddenly.)

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38 The Lord pays better dividends...
Ginyia is her name, but her real mother, Dominican, would have given her a longer name. Ginyia’s mother died during a C-section. Her father deserted her, and left to go to the Dominican Republic. He never returned for Ginyia, so her 17-year-old cousin began to take care of her as much as she could. But,...
“A Haitian laughs, when he should cry.”- A Haitian Creole proverb. What precious Haitian children! Their lives are so harsh, their food, so scarce, and yet, in their simplicity, they can manage a smile!

To most Haitians, church is their life! They will all “dress their best” for church! The younger teen girls and smaller will always wear “black shoes for church” with white socks!!
