Dear Friends,
When God called us to this ministry over nine years ago, Sheryl & I thought we were being called to take care of a few orphans and to make a difference in their lives and that’s all.  Although the orphanage is still a very important part of what we are involved with, God has [...]

Dear Friends,
It is so good to see how God responds to the many needs in Haiti.  Sometimes I am a little apprehensive about how everything is going to get done.  The last day of May was one of those times.  Each month during the years of feeding the children in our school ministry we have [...]

Dear Friends,
I made it! The hike to Corail was accomplished without the use of a motorcycle. On November 10, we left Tricotte at 8:00 AM. We drove about 25 minutes to the village of Canifice. There we parked the vehicle and began the hike. The night before I had decided that I wanted to attempt [...]

Dear Friends,
Conditions continue to be unsettled in Haiti. While many are trying to work through the results of the tropical storm, the political climate is causing even more distress. Glenn Bridges and I spent four days in Port-au-Prince in October but could not continue on to Tricotte due to the flooding and insecure conditions around [...]

Dear Friends,
It’s New Year’s Day, 2004! This morning Sheryl & I were talking about the six years of ministry in Haiti and are in awe of what God is doing. He has a plan to reach out to the ends of the earth with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and He is using this [...]

Dear Friends,
A few months ago, our evangelist, Omer, was visiting in the village of Ravine.  He had spent some time at the Ravine school and then went throughout the village to meet parents and share Jesus with them.  As he approached a run-down mud hut, he heard a child crying.  He looked in the one [...]

Dear Friends,
Upon arriving in Tricotte two weeks ago, I walked to the orphanage to extend greetings to the kids.  The boys always rush up and shake hands with a big smile.  The girls are a little more shy, but one by one they come and reach up for a kiss on the cheek.  As I [...]
