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.

Why our Birthing Center is so important… Many people have asked us why we built our Birthing Center.

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.

A Policy with Good Benefits Looking for a good life insurance policy? We always try to check into the ones with the best benefits. Sometimes we think we have benefits until we read the small print, and the small print is not on our side. The Lord also gives us a policy. It is called the Word of God, and it has many benefits.
