One afternoon, years ago, Bianca and two siblings arrived at our “Love A Child” gate with her aunt. They came a long way from Cape Haitian. Their aunt was in distress because the children’s parents had been killed when their small boat capsized. (Most Haitians cannot swim.) With the horrified look on the faces of...
Jackson is at the dialysis center right now. He has started his 4-hour treatment. It is a miracle that he is out of the hospital and back to his routine. We need to pray that his body responds well to the dialysis. Every time he goes through a session of aggressive hemodialysis, he has had complications...
Nothing pleases God more than faith. In 2nd Kings 4:8-37, we find the famous words of a poor Shunammite woman, whose “only son,” her young son, had just died. (This is the same child that Elisha told her she was going to give birth to.) The child had just been outside with his father in...
Brother and Sister… Any person might think that this is a “couple” by looking at them! But this is George (Georges), and his sister, Stephanie. George is short and sweet, and drives the large container tractors! He has been driving (without our knowledge) since he was 11 or 12! (There’s probably much more I don’t...
“Our Haitian Church in Fond Parisien… still Growing!” Many years ago, when we first got our property here in Haiti, we started our first church under a "brush armor!" We had two converts on the first morning! People were hungry for God, and the church grew, and grew, and grew! Before long, we had to...
God loves us so much that He has prepared great things in store for us. He has been working on this “since the beginning of time!” “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, or perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, neither hath the eye seen, Oh God, beside...
One day, about 13 years ago or more, our Haitian Director, Nelio Barthelemy, heard about a man who was going to “sell his little girl” to a man for money. Nelio was outraged and convinced the man to let him “buy the little girl!” Rebecca came to us with long, thick black hair, and we...
We love trees, and God loves trees. Have you ever noticed how often trees are mentioned in the Bible, and with good connotations? In Genesis 2, God plants a garden... and places Adam in it. God planted trees as a good place for humanity to live and thrive. Likewise, we plant many, many trees each...
“What’s a Mountain to an Eagle?” Are you facing something “overwhelming” in your life today? We have been through many things, too. Bobby and I have found ourselves with our backs against the wall. We have faced death. We have been “beyond broke,” with bill collectors calling and some trying to repossess our truck while...
God is good, always faithful! Jackson is here in the apartment in Santo Domingo, out of the ICU, off of the respirator, eating real food, and walking on his own. He is weak, but getting stronger by the minute. The past week has been tough. He almost died three times, but he is a fighter....
