No, it’s not a Caribbean island, though that would be nice! Due to the generosity of several of our lady friends, we commissioned Boss Luckner to build an island for our kitchen. As with all his work, it is beautiful and has surpassed all our expectations. Slowly but surely, we…

This week will mark eight years since Prit and I were kidnapped at gunpoint outside our church in Petite-Anse. It never entered our minds that a gang would enter our church yard, commandeer our Isuzu Trooper and take us for a wild ride into the countryside to avoid any contact…

On Sunday morning, one of our leaders’ wives approached me. Just after the service concluded, she came to where I was sitting and said, “Oh, Man Pas, thank you so much for the clothes that you sent to me!” She wore a great big smile and joy radiated from her…
