“Fear thou not…” I just read this wonderful passage in Isaiah 41:10… There are so many scriptures in the Bible that begin with “Fear not…” This one is “Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God.” Wow! “I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea,...
I don't think the U.N. could have built these houses any faster or better than this awesome volunteer team headed by Mark Ostrander. The team has been working “non-stop” and has nearly completed the first four houses for the poor families that will live in them. (They know nothing about this yet... what a surprise...
Today, Kaeli, Philemon and I along with several others went to Peyi Pouri. We were scheduled to do a Mobile Medical Clinic in L’Artibonite. We had all the details worked out, but there are manifestations going to happen tomorrow. People will be rioting in the streets for probably two days. One of the areas that...
"When You've Done All You Can…" What a precious story in Mark 14:1-9 – We find Jesus in the house of Simon the leper… However, he was a healed leper because if he was not, he could not have invited people to his house, and no leper could have been in the presence of Jesus, and...

Now, these students will learn how to grow "food for life" when they return to their homes. Special thanks to Wilner, the instructor...
The widows and orphans are so fragile here in Haiti. Our heart is to visit (and help) “the fatherless and widows in their affliction…” James 1:27 – James is the apostle whose heart is really for the poor. He is the one who said, “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily...
What an awesome partner we have in Ruby Ratterree. She is "over 90-years-old," and she has been in the news for "making children's clothing to send to Haiti!" Ruby, you are something else!!! Thank you so much for these beautiful clothes for beautiful children!!! You are "something else" Ruby!!! May all of Heaven bless you!...
The hardest thing about living here in Haiti, besides being away from family, is to see hungry children... but the best thing is to see "hungry children eating!" We are thankful to Feed My Starving Children for donating food to us, and we are thankful to our partners, who sponsor the food to come to...
“The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” Proverbs 11:25 There's nothing worse than a stingy Christian. There are actually people who say they love God, but they never think about the poor. Today, a lady named Naomi came to our gate. She had been here two...
