I have been in touch with Pastor Louinet since last night as I had heard that Hurricane Matthew was going to hit Haiti. I assured him that we would be praying for him, his family and his people. Throughout the day we have been texting and he says there has been lots of wind and […]
Where, O death, where is your victory?
As I sit here writing you I have tears streaming down my face. I just got a call from Pastor Louinet telling me that Jobnel Dorilien, a twelve year old boy in our school in Nan wo died today. It’s the same story…. he had a fever. They took him to the hospital in Dessalines […]
Pastor Alekè remembered.
On June 8th, a long-time partner in our work in Haiti passed into eternity. The following is one of a series of tributes to the man we knew as Pastor Alekè. Pastor Alekè (64 years) was small in stature, but had giant-sized faith. He was one of the poorest of the poor, living deep in […]
Aleke on the brink
Nine days ago, we passed on the word that our dear friend Aleke, a pastor and community leader serving the desperately poor people of Kawo and partnering with us in student sponsorship there, was very sick and seeking urgent medical attention. He was transported to Dessalines and then to St. Marc where he had surgery […]
Pray for Aleke
Pastor Aleke is a tough, pioneering man of God serving in a desolate region in one of the earth’s poorest nations. He shepherds a small flock that meets in a rugged little building on the red dirt of a small terrace of a big mountain in Haiti’s Kawo region. He has pastored there for years, […]
Little blessings, big needs, and a new routine

Back in the USA
We have arrived safely in Miami. Shortly we will be boarding plane again to Philadelphia then Seattle. Thanks so much for everyone’s prayers. We all know they carry us through. -Dixie
Tony’s Sunday morning journal – A seed of Hope!
8:19 am Mountain church starts in a few minutes. It was a cool dry night last night, which helped us dry our gear for an early departure–we will hike down today instead of waiting for tomorrow. Church will be loud, worship out of tune, everything in another language, and completely GLORIOUS! So far it is […]
Full Day’s Work
From Tony: The first day of photo-taking is complete! We interviewed and photographed 200 kids, including 50 that are new to the school. In addition to the photos and interviews, we also gave fluoride treatments and gave underwear to the students. 2nd grade turned out to be somewhat challenging, and the crowds made things hectic. […]
