We are hearing reports of rivers flooding in certain areas of Haiti, and some roads are flooded. I received a call from Pastor Souffrance who is up in Peyi Pouri. He told me that a lot of the poor people have lost their tin roofs, as well as some of their animals. He is going to two villages further up (i.e. Badgi) and will give us a report when he comes back. Haiti has very little topsoil...
The tropical storm that hit the Dominican Republic and Haiti yesterday killed at least 13 people in the Dominican Republic. The death toll in Haiti so far is 11... A female doctor was driving with her baby when she saw the storm and flood of water! She took her baby from the car and they...
"Who do you ‘cleave’ to?" Elimelech was a man from Bethlehem-Judah who married a woman from the country of Moab. Her name was Naomi. They had two sons who married Ruth and Orpha from Moab. Soon, the man and his two sons died, leaving his wife, Naomi, and two daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpha, to "not...
Yolanda Burnette is 13 years old and in the 8th grade. Wow! These kids are growing up! I can remember it like it was yesterday… A poor mother, Marie Elmise, who attended our church in the mountains of Covant, had given birth to a baby girl. (Many Haitian women die during or right after childbirth due...

Most of the children from our Love A Child Orphanage, which is now known as the Love A Child Children's Home, have come to us because their mothers died during childbirth or soon after. This little sweetie,...
All morning we have been hit with pounding rains and heavy winds coming from the Dominican Republic and into Haiti via “Laura,” a strong tropical storm. It will be covering the island of Hispaniola today. (Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island.) The most fragile people are those living in the garbage dumps in tent...
“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6 Don’t fret or be afraid of what you may be facing today and this week.

Looking at this handsome young boy, age 12, you would never believe where he came from. Stephano is 12 years old and always, always has a huge smile on his face… Always! He has "bright eyes" and is always looking to help anyone do anything. When Stephano was born, his father abandoned him, leaving him...
We are living in a day and time when many young people do not respect our fallen heroes, especially those who saved lives and put themselves in danger to rescue someone, even those who have given their lives for our freedom. We have received nice clothing before for our children and other children here in...
