This is Ginyia, now age seven. Her real name is much longer, but it has been shortened to Ginyia. She is part Dominican. Her mother died during a C-section, and her father left her to go to the Dominican Republic. She was being raised by her 17-year-old cousin, but when she could no longer take...
There are two types of malnutrition... Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. Marasmus is the type you see when you are looking at a baby or toddler that is nothing but skin and bone. They are "skeleton looking." The other type of malnutrition is Kwashiorkor, which can fool someone. The baby or toddler can look "fat and chunky," or...
As many of you know, by God's grace, He has allowed us to feed children and families in many villages. Not only our schools and own village feeding programs, but He has blessed us to help other wonderful missionaries. Here is one... David Wine's Orphanage. The children are eating food we distributed last month to...
“Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Philippians 2:2 – Let us remember to stay like-minded in the mission God has given us. Let’s continue to show the love of God to the poor and starving people of Haiti. Love is something “WE”...
"Well, well, well!" Just who would you be? You wouldn't by chance be that fussy, fussy baby that kept everyone up all night? Ha! What happened to "the real Zoey?” This just doesn't look like the baby we took in! Zoey was found abandoned on the road to Old Letant. (I believe her mother saw...
We are so thankful that we are able to help other missionaries. When we first moved to Haiti, no one helped us with food. We applied to several big organizations, and no help was available. Now, we have a lot of hungry children to feed. When God blesses us with food, we not only feed...
Our Birthing Center is always full of joy! Christian music is always playing, and anxious fathers are rocking on the "porch!" Inside, our wonderful "midwives" are busy with the poor pregnant mothers and new babies! We want to thank our friends for all of their sweet boxes of "birthing items," blankets, and baby items! We will...
Have you ever prayed for someone that you thought was “impossible for God to save?” Maybe you prayed because you “had to,” but in your heart you thought, “that will never happen!” Sometimes, the one you think will never turn to God is just the one God is running after! Years ago, when we were...
Little Peterson, the one with the round little face, and his brother Jepth-te, are back in school and doing great! You would think that these two little boys, who have been through a horrendous situation in Haiti, would be sad and frightened. This would happen to any child in the U.S. who has been through what...
Casimi made it back safely this morning with our load of 1,500 bags of rice from the port! 42,000 pounds of premium rice for the Haitian people, praise the Lord! Yesterday it was not safe to return through the gunfire, gangs, and protesters. Casimi, you are our hero for the poor! I’m thankful for all...
