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, […]
EGO Six
We have been on the ground at EGO for 14 days, 10 hours, 43 minutes, and 30 seconds. It has taken me 11 days of this time to figure out that the kids are beyond me. Just when I think all systems are running smooth, I’ve come to the realization that I don’t get it. […]
EGO Five
Dixie and I should have watched some classic orphanage movies to prep us for this trip… Little Orphan Annie, Newsies, or Oliver Twist. The day Marla and Ken left for the United States one of the boys got ‘deathly sick’ with a scraped knee, or was it a sore throat. At any rate, 2 days […]
Tootsie pops
The kids were scared of the bull… so I gave them something to help them forget.
Quiet again
Our house guests have now left and once more we are in our routine of things. Isn’t there a story about a man who thought his house was small and many came to stay with him and when they all left he realized how big his house really was? That’s a little the way we […]
Full House
We now have a house full of people staying with us. Nate, his wife and three kids and another couple have come up from Port to visit EGO. Nate has been coming here since he was 14 and comes back to renew friendships. Lourdjina woke us all early 4:30 am. After she quieted down the […]
EGO Four
A BIG thank you to all of you who are praying for our time here at Ebenezer Glenn Orphanage. We have had our challenges, much like a substitute teacher would expect…. little do the kids and staff know Dixie & I have done it all. In Creole they call guys like me a ‘dezod’, meaning bad […]
EGO Three
EGO Three 05-16-2016 Soccer is the sport of choice in Haiti. This is clear to see throughout the country. Here at Ebenezer Glenn Orphanage (EGO) the sport can be seen from the baby yard to the large soccer field on the Orphanage grounds. One of the older boys Pudens loves to invite his neighborhood friends […]
A Day at EGO
EGO Two A Day at EGO 05-15-2016 So what in the world are Dixie and Harley doing in Haiti? Why are we helping at the orphanage down the road from our main Hope in Haiti operation? Neither Dixie or I especially enjoy babies as much as many of you out there. When some one hands […]
Little blessings, big needs, and a new routine
Friday night 3 year old Makendy spent the night here with us, along with Lourdjina. He’s spends a lot of time at Marla’s house and is missing her. He told me he likes to speak English better than Creole. He loved his french toast this morning and then was willing to go down to the […]
