Bobby and Philemon left Fond Parisien about 30 minutes ago to get to the airport. A dear friend of ours died, and Bobby is determined to get to the airport. He has had to pass through three burning roadblocks so far. The main “bad guys,” who block the roads in this area are actually leading...
Update: We live out here in Fond Parisien, Haiti, 1-1/2 hours from Port-au-Prince. We are all ok out here. I'm hearing through telephone calls that things are calming down since yesterday. The Haitians and missionaries had a tough go in Port-au-Prince and other areas. They have been in a war zone! Sherry just gave me these pictures while...
"Wait on the Lord." Psalm 27:14 — Maybe this devotion should be entitled, "The Cost of Not Waiting on the Lord." In 1 Samuel 13, we see the story begin. Saul has been King of Israel for two years. But as time goes on, "And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty...
This sweet boy is Ti Daniel (Little Daniel). We don’t know much about him because we discovered him at one of our Mobile Medical Clinics in the village of Letant. We heard that his father had died when he was attacked and hit on the head with a cinder block. Then his mother died, and...
The Prime Minister of Haiti announced the reversal of the fuel prices. I hope calm, and peace will come to Haiti now. So far things have not been good. By tomorrow I pray we will have calm. What caused the outrage was the government increased gas prices by 38 percent, diesel by 47 percent and...
The situation here in Haiti is not good! Due to the high increase in fuel prices, there are riots on the streets, burning tires, and they are setting motels and gas stations on fire! Not far from us in La Tremblay 15, they are burning tires and shooting! We do not know what tomorrow will...
Even though we are in a gas crisis, food still has to get to the children in Haiti who need it the most. These are the children in the mountains, in schools, in garbage dumps, and in poor villages. They are the ones who suffer the most. We pray that we will get through this...
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow...
Urgent: Haiti is in chaos! Gas prices went up... I don't know how much longer we will have an Internet connection. Some Internet providers have already lost service. Haiti is burning, roads are blocked, and houses and businesses are on fire. Those causing all the trouble are also throwing rocks. The road out to Fond Parisien...
This is an update to an earlier post that is noted below... I had put up this post below about our Savaan Pit School recently. We are building this school and the conditions are awful there. Very rough terrain, no roads as you would know it. The children and people are desperate for food. There has been...
