Afternoon E-mail from Dorothy at Faith, Hope, & Love Infant Rescue in PAP… Emily’s swelling is going down in her head. Her CT scan is perfectly normal.

Nancy, Tasha and I are puzzled but much relieved. Take...

I don’t know if these pictures will do it justice, but here is some heavy duty...

The First Baptist Live Oak Haiti Mission Team’s last full day at the JBA Orphanage in Bercy was indeed a full day, full of the Holy Spirit’s guidance, full of activity, full of Joy. Joy reached into Heaven as numerous new souls were won for Christ in evangelistic canvassing, about 100 patients received life-sustaining treatment in the final day of medical clinics, and the two starving...

A Day of Worship and Fun With the Children The First Baptist Live Oak team opened Sunday at the Bercy Baptist church by sharing the e-cube with the Haitian Sunday School congregation.
