We found her during a Mobile Medical Clinic in Lastic. Her father brought this young girl with "very crooked legs" to us. We decided to take her in until we could find a doctor for her. That never happened due to many things. But, as she grew, her legs became "straighter." Today, she has graduated...
Here in Haiti, the past two weeks have been “test weeks” at school. There is no entire school that lets all students take their tests at one time. (Maybe they are afraid the kids will cheat on exams!) As a result, only a small number take their tests at one time (class by class, etc.)....
When poor, pregnant mothers come to our Birthing Center, they always leave with a "gift." Their most priceless gift is a baby, but it is sometimes a gift for their baby. A blanket, onesie, or something else. We also take a picture of them with their new baby!!! Sometimes, our friends, like Patricia, make handbags...
Outnumbered! Have you ever felt that way? Maybe the bill collectors are after you, you have people who are jealous of you, or you are in an impossible "no-win" situation… So, you feel that you are "outnumbered." It may be a sickness that you are facing, and you feel "outnumbered..." But YOU ARE NOT!!! We have...
Fabienne was born in Petionville. Her mother once worked for us, but we had to let her go. When we did, she left Fabienne with us. Her father had never been a "father" to her. We have had her since she was about five. She graduated from high school with top grades. When we had...
One of our partners recently sent in some new clothes, "suits" for the boys! Here, we have Job, Noah, Moses, Jepth-te, Peterson (two new children), Wiggins, and maybe some more! I told the boys they could not try on the new clothes until Sunday morning. But they couldn't wait!! When I came back from working...
"What if God Gave Us His Leftovers?" How would you feel if someone "prosperous" invited you to their house for Thanksgiving dinner, and when you arrived, they said, "Glad you came over, we're going to have 'leftovers,' just for you!" I'm sure you would be gracious but maybe just a little hurt or a little...
Jolina was born in Savaan Roche, high in the mountains of Haiti. Her father was shot and killed, and her mother could not take care of her since there were nine children in the family. Her mother brought her and her cousin, Daphline, to our orphanage to live! They were quickly adopted into our "family."...
We welcomed Jesse Ostrander to Haiti. He is working along with the Haitian crew on the Jesus Healing Center and Malnutrition Center; we hope to open both soon! The painters you see are our older children. Elizie has taught them well. Notice the Haitian workers have started digging the foundation by faith for the new...
God's law of sowing and reaping… “… He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all...
