AWESOME is the only word that even comes close to describing our God. As you may remember, the need for water in Z’Orange was very great. The pump well had gone dry, and only a few gallons could be pumped every couple of...

I'm sitting at the airport now sending this entry. For those of you who had family members here--they are on their way home! Chuck Guerber will be staying at the mission house taking care of things for me--he has been such...

I left early this morning with Simon to go pick up our refrigerator. Praise the Lord it is still under warranty, and they had it fixed. The refrigerator is propane and electric. We bought it for $1500; if it had not been...

This morning Chuck and Simon left for Port about 5 a.m. to pick up the Cinco Baptist Church group. The rest of us got up about 7 a.m. and had breakfast, and then Mokell gave the devotion. By the time he finished, Chuck...

Last night was a late night for me, preparing the entries and photos for the website. I was up until about 12:30 a.m., and then I couldn’t sleep--I have some sort of cold or sinus problem. I finally got to sleep about 1:30,...

This morning I had to get up and leave early to take our refrigerator in to Port to have it fixed and pick up some medications for the medical team. Everything went pretty smoothly. I had to leave the refrigerator, and they...

We started our day off with pancakes made by Ginette. She is really spoiling us! Unfortunately, our refrigerator quit working, so we had to take everything out and put it in our ice chests. Tomorrow I will have to take it...

Our Sunday School today was led by Simon, and it started about 9 a.m. Simon is in his third year of seminary, and is doing great in school. He truly is called to be a pastor; he has a heart for people. When Sunday School...

This morning was cleanup day, getting ready for the Greater Little Rock Baptist Church team coming in this afternoon. We cleaned and painted bathrooms, hung night lights, changed light bulbs, washed dishes, and swept and...

Today was grocery shopping day. We had told Ginette that we would meet her at One Stop Grocery at 9 a.m., but that was our plan. The traffic was horrible, and we had to stop by a hardware store to return a spray pump I...

I have lost count of how many bargain sales the seniors and others at Wright Baptist Church have held. I remember when we broke $2000 at one of our sales years ago, and we could not believe it. Last year, they held 3 sales,...

I flew into Port au Prince yesterday, and Chuck from WI came in about 3 hours later. Simon picked me up at the airport in a taxi, and we went to get the Ford, which I keep at Quisqueya Chapel in Port. After we picked it up...

Karl and I got everyone to the airport this morning in plenty of time, so you should see Joe, Bill and Bryan in Ft. Walton late this evening. Chuck and Ken will fly in late and have to drive about 7 hours. I'm sure you will...

Last night was a hard night for some. There are all kinds of strange sounds here that we don’t hear at home, like donkeys, mules, roosters, dogs, and people yelling at all hours. You never know what you're going to hear....

Today was the first day I did not have to go to Port, and it was a most relaxed day. After breakfast Karl had devotion ready for us--I have to say it is one of the best parts of the day. Then he went over a few things that...

You would never guess what I did today. OK, you guessed it--I went back to Port. Simon and I have had to go to Port au Prince eight days in a row.  That is a record, by far, but the good news is we got back today by 1:00....

Today was almost identical to yesterday, except that after breakfast and devotion, Bryan joined George, Simon and me to go into Port. I wanted Bryan to see where we purchase our supplies, also to see a little more of Port....

The day of rest (Sunday) was over, and it was time to put the hand on the plow. This morning after breakfast and devotion, Karl led off with the projects that were before us. Ken from WI and a friend, John, who was here in...

This Sunday morning we had a nice breakfast which Ginette prepared for us, and afterward Karl gave the devotion. As always, it was very good, and actually lasted about two hours--though it didn’t seem like it. It was just a...

Last night we thought we would let the kids have some fun, so Simon and I found some Tom & Jerry cartoons on DVD in Port. Chuck played over an hour of them outside on the side of Gabriel--we now have a portable cinema!...

Today Simon and I went into Port au Prince to pick up Ginette and buy food for the team. First we went to Petionville to buy paint for the mission house, then we met Ginette at One Stop Market. She already had half of the...

Today was a great day. We had guests from the First Baptist Church of St. Charles. Pastor Brad had called me about 3 weeks ago to see if they could come up and visit us for a day, and I told him we would love that, so we...
