Can Your God Rescue You?

Almost four years ago, I sat in the office of Dr. Daniel at Harvard Vanguard Hospital in the Boston area, and he said to me, “You need to reboot your brain.” I thought to myself, “What? My brain is not working?” I was there because I knew something was wrong. […]

A God of Salvation and Rewards

God begins calling and seeking after us. We all have different testimonies. Some children are led to Christ at a young age, while other people find God later in life.

Mothers In Joy And In Sorrow

Life Is Better Together

Ansanm means “together” in Haitian Creole. Togetherness makes life better because you have community to share life with. When I lived in Haiti, I saw the strength of togetherness as villagers would gather at the shoreline to help pull in the fishing nets. […]

Lessons from A Child

My wife Rachel and I started raising our four children in Haiti. I’ve realized there is much to be learned from our kids—and children in general. Children can portray innocence, optimism, love, and amazing faith! […]

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Let me consider that question. Where do you live? How do you dress? What is your diet? Do I like the temperature where you live…or your government? Won’t you be my neighbor? God has called us to love our neighbor. Who is my neighbor? […]

More than Enough
