We found “Ti Mika” when we were taping for our television program in the village of “Madamn Bauje.” As I was waiting for Bobby, I noticed a dirty little baby girl who had been put on the ground. The lady who put her there was obviously her Grandma, and later she came back, and in...

Our Great God... In 1st Samuel 2:1-8, we see some of Hannah’s prayer. A man named Elkana had two wives... Peninnah and Hannah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. It was a great shame for a woman not to have children. You can see the “storm brewing,” as day by day, Peninnah embarrassed and...
Today is another “workday" at our Love A Child Orphanage. We have "lots of loose rocks on our land... lots and lots!" Saturday is a workday... but actually “every day is a workday!” Here, we have Wilguens and Samuel, and then we have Lucson, Noah, Zachary, and Joshua! It’s a lot of hard work, but...

“Our Guide ‘til the End…” Unless you have never “been lost,” you will never realize what it means to “be found.” “When you lose your guide (especially in a foreign country), it can be a great fear. Years ago, I was asked to go and visit a Haitian worker in one of our mountain churches in...
He is still under a doctor’s care. In Haiti, it is called “Anemie Falciforme." We also call this type “Sickle Cell Anemia.” Kenzy still has pain in his bones, stomach aches, difficult bowel movements, weakness, and his eyes are bothering him. We have a “room mother” looking after him. After his visit with his eye...
Things you may not know… "Conditions in Haiti, right now!" I would say 95% of Haiti does not have electricity. A government official who was visiting us yesterday told me, “The number is higher” than that! Can you imagine the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, has "zero electricity!" Cap-Haitien… Zero electricity for five years. All the...
“Give Me Something Hard to Do.” God is a big God! Sometimes, we are afraid to pray and tell God what we need, because it is a “big thing.” But, God loves those “hard things to do!” There is a great story in the Bible in II Kings Chapter 3. Elisha has just gotten the...
