Yum! Farmer John’s Butcher Shop is inside Gwo Maché Mirak (a Love A Child sustainability project). Farmer John has the best meat in all of Haiti, and it is up to American Standards. Delicious!

“Nothing Is Too Hard For God!” What a story in 1 Kings 18:19-35… The Prophet Elijah was certainly a “character,” and you wouldn’t want to make him mad!

It’s never quiet around here, that’s for sure! From daylight to dawn, the kids are always doing something!

Feeding the hungry is our greatest burden in Haiti. This month, we are believing God for eight containers of food, which are in Customs right...
