"His Hand is Still Outstretched" We serve a "merciful God." We make mistakes, we get angry, and we probably do “a lot of other things!” God could “wipe us out in a second, and we surely would deserve it, but He is a “merciful God!” Isaiah, the Prophet wrote, “For all this this is not...
We have known Nazalie (Rachael) since she was a tiny baby in her mother’s arms. Nazalie was “always sick and puny!” Her mother was tiny and not in good health. Each time we saw her mother, we could see a “dead baby!” Her mother lived in a horrible area and in a mud and rock...
We have had Widelene since she was “five or younger and Esther, since she was a baby!” We took in the two girls and their mother because their mother was ill, sick, and weak. We were concerned that the baby could die. Widelene graduated from Philo (Grade 13), here in Haiti, and she has been...
“Don’t give up! God loves the hard cases!” Sometimes, through prayer, kindness, or other ways, we seem to feel that “the one we love” will never accept Jesus! My father was an alcoholic and did other things my mother did not like. She prayed day after day that he would give his heart to Jesus....
I remember the first day I saw him, as if it were yesterday! We were in the village of “Old Letant,” and the group from Feed My Starving Children was there with us. I saw this skinny little boy carrying large buckets of water on his shoulder, and he was also stirring a big pot...
THE LORD is GOOD! I took these pictures at our non-Denominational Love A Child church this morning. Haitians love to dress up to attend church. We started under a small 15-foot, square church that they made of palm branches and leaves on our property. Our first convert was an assassin and as mean as a...
Job’s God… If you think you are a “good Christian,” or if “you think you have made a great sacrifice to follow Jesus,” first read the “Book of Job!” I have read through several times and each time, I come away thinking what a “horrible, whining Christian” I am! I have been serving the Lord for many...
Years ago, when Dumolia was very young (under age 8), she fell into a large wash tub full of boiling water. It scalded her from her neck to her stomach. She did not have the proper care for burns. When her father brought her to us, she was around six. She could not turn her...
One of the major differences people notice between conditions in Haiti and its neighbor on the island, the Dominican Republic, is the minimal amount of rainfall that Haiti gets relative to what falls in the DR. Rainfall in Haiti is not evenly distributed throughout the year but rather comes in heavy concentrations during the “rainy...
A Word from the Lord... I woke up early this morning, and the Lord laid this scripture on my heart. This may not mean much to some of you, but for that “one” who is facing a great mountain of fear concerning a situation, the Lord says, “Thus saith the Lord God; It shall not...
