This is Kristela. When she was brought to us, she was malnourished and full of sores! Her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were deeply involved in Voodoo! We won her mother to the Lord a week before she died. Kristela is now 18 years old and will hopefully finish high school in about another year....
More news and pictures from Oriani. I know that I have shared some of this with you already, but these people, along with Pastor Claude, have touched my heart.

NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP! KEEP WALKING BY FAITH! God had promised the Israelites, through Moses living in Egypt as slaves, the promised land flowing with milk and honey. The promise had started with Abraham. Even Joseph, 400 years before the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt, gave the prophecy, "Ye shall take my bones with you out of...
Dieuferly has an amazing story... He is one of our Love A Child kids. We found him when we traveled to the mountains of Covant, four hours by four-wheel drive, and many more hours by mule! His mother had nine children, and Dieuferly was one of them. He had club feet. At that time, he...
