Update on the hurricane in Haiti: In our area, the storm came through here in Fond Parisien, Haiti with no problems. Still windy and a little rain. The farmers needed the rain. I see that now the storm is now a hurricane. We are praying for our friends in the Bahamas, Florida, and the southeast...
What sweet, sweet gifts we received from "Puritan Street Church of Christ." These are nice, soft, downy blankets, and to a mother, it is an unimaginable gift! They could never, never afford to buy a blanket like these! And some of these mothers live far away in the mountains!! What a great blessing and how...
"He's still the God of the valleys…” In 1st Kings 20, we see a great battle between Syria and Israel, and Israel won! The Syrians decided that Israel had won because "their gods are gods of the hills […] but let us fight against them in the plain (the valleys), and surely we shall be stronger than...
Jesse Ostrander and Bryon Ray have been working all week, along with our wonderful Haitian construction workers, on the Jesus Healing Center. They all get so much work done. It’s been unbelievable! As the Lord supplies the money, we are praying that we can open up for the Haitian families by the end of October....

While their main language is Creole, they need to speak French to get a good job. And colleges here speak French. Some colleges...
Life without hope is unlivable. You can last about three days without water and about 21 days without food, but you cannot last one day without hope for a “tomorrow.” A life without dignity is horrible, too. But our three-week sustainable Agriculture Training Center (ATC) class gives both hope and dignity. We are announcing the...
"A Still Small Voice…” "… And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a...
Praise the Lord! Casimi and the rice made it safely to Love A Child this evening. He had some close calls, but the Lord protected him. Thank you for your prayers. Now we must get the food to the people, especially the children. Bobby Burnette
You may already know Jean Edwouard’s story of how he came to us. We were doing a food distribution in the village of Old Letant. I noticed a little boy, carrying water, gathering sticks, and making a fire to cook food. He was only six years old. He was a “restavek slave child.” His name...
