Isaiah 43:2… What a great God we serve! Bobby and I had to make a trip from Port-au-Prince to Fond Parisien, where we live in Haiti. We knew that "things were very dangerous in Haiti, politically," but we had passed through these areas before to do feeding programs and we were not too worried. However,...
"You Can Never Have Enough Mechanics!" (in Haiti!) This is "Ti Bobby" under the hood of one of our "broken-down vehicles." (Reggie, the big guy, one of our workers, is on the left). Bobby loves learning about "how to fix vehicles," and since we always have something "that needs fixing" we are always in need...
Today, Sherry, Ezekiel, Philimond (our driver), and I had some very close calls on the road. We faced some bad roadblocks with gangs in Croix-des-Bouquets. Hundreds surrounded us, and many were beating on our ambulance. (This is the way we had to travel.) We could see all of the emotions of anger, frustration, and hopelessness on...
This is what hungry, poor children in Haiti want more than anything. If a school does not provide food, those children who come from the mountains will be sleepy and lethargic by 9:00 a.m. Mountain children usually have no food in the morning, so their parents will give them coffee with “sugar.” Since there is...
LET NOTHING HINDER OR STOP YOU! “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:” 2 Peter 1:10 So many times, some who are called of God let things, situations, friends, family problems, etc. hinder them from fulfilling their calling. We are...
Yep, here they are again! Kenzy and Joshua were given new “flip flops,” which were donated by one of our partners. They are joined together at the hip! Kenzy is quiet and shy, and Joshua is… “all over it!” Both are sweet but they are always losing a sandal in the yard, or “Sampson” has...
It's hard to believe that children in Haiti still live like this, but it's true that they do. And now due to all of the political turmoil and stress, the schools are closed which means that "school feeding programs are closed, too." All missionaries are struggling to feed their orphanages and their schools. And all...
"Je-ho-vah- Ji-reh..." My Provider. I am re-reading, again and again, the story of Abraham and Isaac, the son of "promise" and "the child born of a man 100 years old!" The child was the "miracle baby" of Abraham and Sarah. But yet, God wanted to "test" Abraham by seeing if "Abraham would obey God," and...
I will never forget the day we first saw Lomene. We went to visit a family in Fond Parisien, where we had built a house. Right near the house we built, we noticed a small, tiny, little girl, sweeping, cooking, scrubbing, and washing dishes. I knew she must be a restavek slave. In Haiti, when...
Our new missionaries, Doug and Jessica Lackey are such a blessing. You will be seeing more of them in the coming weeks in our posts. Jessica and Doug help us in many areas, and one of them is getting these pictures of Pastor Claude’s Orphanage children, who receive gifts. Pastor Claude has two large orphanages...
