"The Open Wound..." We have been living and working here in Haiti for many years. Believe me, I have seen wounds and sores on the poor mountain people that were so bad, it was a wonder that they were still alive! In Isaiah, the Prophet Isaiah makes his voice known... "From the sole of the...
We found him at a mobile clinic in the mountains years ago. He was living with his Grandma and was near death from malnutrition. He was nothing more than “skin and bones.” We put him in our truck and started down the steep mountains. We stopped during that long truck ride to buy some mangos...
