Some people nowadays do not understand the importance of “feeding the hungry, the poor, and the stranger.” In the Book of Leviticus Chapter 23:22, the Lord told Moses to speak to His people and tell them, “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean[…]
Our Sarah…
She and her brother, Joseph, were brought to us all the way from the high mountains of Covant, Haiti. (The real name of the village is Bel Fontaine.) They both had severe Kwashiorkor malnutrition, caused by eating the wrong kinds of food. They were in horrible condition, and they would[…]
