Today, our Haitian girls, Fabienne, Widlene, and Dimelia, went to Old Letant with Jessica Lackey, Stanley, and me. We took new clothing, baby hats, dresses, and blankets!! Just look at the knitted baby hats from Michelle Boulder and the dresses and blankets from our friends at Lutheran Missions Attic Workshop. The people and children were hard to...
Wouldn’t you know it… One pregnant lady’s placenta broke and blood gushed out! Even though we have wonderful midwives and a doctor on call, this was an emergency! Because of the roadblocks and burning tires, they had to put the pregnant lady in the back of our truck with a nurse, trying to hold the IV...
We are praying that things will get better for Haiti. Yesterday, I heard that The Core Group met with the government. Some other meetings happened yesterday that I don’t want to go into. I’ve heard today that things are better in some locations and worse in others. The bottom line is that the opposition is...
Sometimes we are in the valley, sometimes on top of the mountain. Some of you are in the valley and have been there for some time. Others receive criticism… Your family does not understand why you are serving Christ. Others may laugh at you and talk about you. Some of your friends may be against...
This is one of our oldest girls, Roselyne. We have had her since she was a young girl. Her legs were very, very, crooked and we thought she would have to have surgery or braces. But, as she grew, her legs straightened up! She has excelled in school and studies every book she can...
These pictures were taken today. Thank you again, Edsel, from West Virginia, and Fred, from Florida, and all of the Haitian workers for working on the Bsl2 and the Bsl3 labs.

Our older boys are working hard today pulling weeds out of the gardens along with the Agricultural Training Center (ATC) students who haven’t been able to travel on the road yet. We are thankful for Fred from Florida, who is working hard along with Edsel putting together the lab for the research of diseases. God...
PRAYER ALERT: We have heard on the Haitian radio, yesterday and this morning, that today the thugs will storm the Presidential Palace and take over the government. All of the major roads are still blocked with burning tires, rock-throwing, burning buildings, shootings, etc. No one is on the street traveling. Everything is completely shut down; schools, banks,...
"Someone's Always Watching You." We know, of course, that "the Lord is always watching you." But, did you ever stop to think about how many people are "watching you," especially people who are not Christians. These are the people who might be making fun of you, or who don’t go to church, or who...
Sandraline is one of our favorites! I called her, “Piwili" (lollipop) in Creole. She struggles hard in school. She was tiny and malnourished when we got her. Sandraline is a “hugger!” She always comes running at me with both arms wide open. We will just have to wait and see what kind of work she will...
