PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—A little over a year ago, I was standing in a hospital room in Belladere, Haiti, listening to a haunting melody. We didn’t know her name or age—but we knew why she had come. (more…)
Port-au-Prince, Haiti – It’s not your typical classroom—there are no walls and no desks. But for the children of Zanmi Beni, it’s the perfect place to learn. (more…)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – I entered the children’s dormitory at Zanmi Beni and slowly navigated my way through the maze of cribs that filled a large room. (more…)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Even as darkness fell, sticky heat smothered Port-au-Prince like an electric blanket turned all the way up. As I stepped from the cool sanctuary of the Land Cruiser, my glasses fogged up; so I took them off and slipped them into my shirt pocket. (more…)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – This morning I joined a Haitian Pastor, Pastor Volner, on a helicopter flight to a remote community that we have been serving with food supplies. On the way we landed in a village called Pouille, home to a rural community of 1,800 people. (more…)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – My day started with a distribution in downtown Port-au-Prince with The Salvation Army. OBI teamed up with them to hand out our collapsable water kits to 2,000 families. The Salvation Army has been working with a specific camp and do distributions twice a week, usually handing out food. (more…)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – On January 12, I was in Jerusalem getting ready to fly to London that night and then on to Niger, West Africa. (more…)
