Love and Unity

Last month, my son Timothy called a meeting of our church pastors in Haiti. As the meeting began, I could sense their passion for worship and a covering of a sweet anointing—as in Psalm 133, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head.” [...]

In March of 1982, we purchased five acres along the ocean in Haiti for about $7,000. On Jan. 6, 1983 we arrived in Haiti with five tents, a Coleman stove, a wheelbarrow, and as much luggage as American Airlines would allow us to take on the plane.
