Welcome to our family portrait! It is a little hard to see everyone, but this is almost all of our children. The infants are in the nursery, and some of the girls are hiding from getting their picture taken. But here's all the rest - from toddlers, to teenagers, including a handful of handicapped children. We have three houses with a schooling system for each. Behind this scene, is a group of devoted Haitian women and Christian men who have helped raise these children for many years. See friends and Family.
| Where do all these children come from? We take them from among the worst cases that we find in Haiti. Either they were orphaned, very ill, or even near death. The pictures below show some of their stories. Now they are part of a real family with meaning and purpose. The older children, who are growing to be serious Christians themselves, are a real blessing in helping raise the younger children, as well as working with us in feeding the poor in the destitute mountain regions. Out of their love for Jesus, they help one another as a family, and gladly welcome new children in urgent need who we bring in. Here is our family portrait! - taken at one of our weekly Sunday reunions. If you'd like to take a closer look, click on the image. | |

This is Stephen, he is one of our older boys, now 14 years old. He has quite an amazing testimony, as seen from the pictures below. |

"Because I delivered
the poor
that cried,
and the fatherless,
and him that had none to help
him"
Job 29:12 |

We originally found him near the point of death abandoned in the public hospital. The baby girl next to him in the infant ward had just died. So we took him in - skin and bones .... After just a few months he made great improvement.

| One of our more recent additions to our family is Samuel...both parents died. Relatives tried to care for him for a while, but were unable to provide what he needed. He suffered from severe malnutrition, mainly due to worms that were taking over his body. Madam Julio, a friend of the parents, who works with us, helping the children in our orphanage, brought him in to our house in Thomasin. . After receiving the care he needed, he began to improve. And before too long, he became well enough to move up to our newest infant house in |

Ft. Jacques, where he is now making further improvement. And not only that, but now look at the new friends he will be able to play with!!!
Each of these children has a similar testimony, but you wouldn't know it by looking at their joyful faces here! If you would like to hear them also...Click Here!
As they get older, they do come to realize and are thankful for what God has done for them
