Yesterday, we had an incredible Easter Sunday service with many special visitors attending. Evangelist Joel Trimble preached a great message entitled ‘‘Who will roll away the stone?” Joel has been in Haiti since 1975. He later married his wife, Yvonne, and she came back with him to Haiti shortly thereafter.…

The Sunday school class at Pastor Lefort’s church here in Sainte-Philomène received candy canes that a recent team left behind. They were thrilled to get a treat. It’s amazing how little it takes to make them happy. Good Friday Speaking of being thankful, today is Good Friday! It’s a good…

It has now been around three weeks since a sickness pummeled me and left me flat on my back. Many of our Haitian friends were sick too. Virus. Epidemic. Malady. Satanic attack. These were many of the words that came to my mind during this trial. The only way I…

For several months we have been raising money to help John get a new vehicle. We had $17,000 raised, and a very dear friend recently surprised us with a $15,000 check! With $32,000 in the bank, he is just a few thousand short of being able to buy a brand…

Out with the old. In with the new! Yesterday, the old church structure was demolished after 28 years. No one wept. Everyone’s ready to move on. The symbol of the past being removed is a further sign that we have moved into a new season. It’s time to make new…

Last week, while the Orphans Promise team was here, we gathered the whole school assembly for a service in our new building. This will give you a good perspective of how many children we are feeding – and that’s only the main school! Over 800 children gathered together to thank…

I have yearned for the day when I could finally write this post. For 27 years, our mother church met in a brush arbor with a dirt floor. We suffered through season after season of insufferable heat and monsoon-style rains. I even remember the Sunday night service where the majority…
