Daniel is one of my favorite kids. We brought him out of “Old Letant” when he was a baby. We didn’t realize there was “something wrong” until he was old enough to go to school. We soon found out he had “issues,” both with learning and with basic social skills. Once when we went to...
We received some special “Barbie doll” boxes from our friends, David and Sarah, a while ago. When I opened the box, they looked like they were “collectibles,” and I was afraid to give them away. So I kept them in the boxes, thinking “what to do?” We contacted David and Sarah who told us it...
Meet Mr. Vela. We first met him, his wife, and daughters, as they were trying to survive, living inside the garbage dump in Truttier, Haiti. They had moved there to escape the extreme violence of “Cité Soleil,” but it turns out they went “from bad to worse.” They managed to make a “shack” with boards...

There is so much joy in being able to grow your own food. Once you have gardening skills, you will have reliable nutritious food, and you feel a “connection” to God and the earth that is hard to explain. At our Agricultural Training Center (ATC), we demonstrate and teach methods of sustainable gardening so that...
“Our Great Invisible God.” When I was 17 and dating Bobby, he had “one thing on his mind,” (besides me!) God had told him to fast and pray on nothing but water for 21 days. The entire time I was engaged to him, he was always trying to go on that fast. We never “went...
A lot has changed in Joseph's life since he was a baby. His mother died soon after he was born. When he and his sister, Sarah, were toddlers, they both had severe malnutrition.
