Within the last week, we have been blessed to have several teams interact with the kids at the feeding center.  Last week, Thelma Baptist, led by Bro.

If I had a dollar every time someone expresses how much they love Jasmine, I would be rich!  Jasmine is our one child who knows the location of everyone’s house in Santo Domingo.  She is often our tour guide as we deliver the food through the village.  She is a natural leader as she is … More Meet Jasmine!

Eli is a typical, nine-year boy.  In March, I was at his school on “report card” day!  We talked to his mom about why his grade in homework was not as high as we would like.  The mother’s limited education limits her to helping her third grade son.  We explained how Eli never has homework … More Meet Eli!
