He could now comfortably settle in and forget his memoir. Though I’d never put myself in his league, I can say that I relate aContinue reading “The Countdown”

“I AM-Justice”
History swarms with events that validate the significance of justice. We see the majesty of justice unfold as the Israelites strut away from their oppressor. The might of justice is revealed as they walk on dry ground in the midst of the sea. I can’t count the times that I’ve stood on the shore gazingContinue reading ““I AM-Justice””
Rescued
She was eight years old the first time we saw her. Fabiola’s dad was our property hand back then. He often times spoke of his family that lived in Haiti, “I have a daughter and a son back home.” I heard him make that statement several times, so I asked Ruben to help him bringContinue reading “Rescued”
Stop The Cries
I saw her tears. I heard her cries. She clutched the stuffed animal to her chest as I lightly tapped the door and peeked into her room. “Mari,” I whispered, “Are you okay?” No response. Just the whimpering sounds of a torn heart. I moved closer, “Please come to breakfast.” She was usually the firstContinue reading “Stop The Cries”

Resurrection Power
Faces like these are true representations of new life! Death is real. Their dead situations were real.

Prior to the existence of our center, he had to leave them aloneContinue reading “Resurrection Power”

A Home for Children
According to the Global Slavery Index, one in four of the 40.3 million slaves today are children. Right now. Since the Dominican Republic is the most visited tourist spot in the Caribbean, it has become a known location for sex tourism.
