Carole will help us with the day to day tasks of running the Jesus Healing Center. She is a nurse and brings many skills to help us with the clinic and malnutrition center.
Bob helps lead the pikan workers on a daily basis. He is taking such a load off of Bobby's shoulders. He helps with the delivery and receipt of the containers coming into the Love A Child village and with the maintenance of the vehicles.

A Message from Carole and Bob
Have you ever delivered a baby in a hut (KAY-PAY) with a dirt floor, or stepped into a village just after a baby was born??
I have, and to this day I ask myself, "How do any of these babies or their mommies survive when delivering in this situation?"
The hands that help are not clean, the item to cut the cord may be a tin can lid, and the wrap for the baby may be a soiled cloth. All this has left me with a great vision for these mothers, an OB ward where they come to deliver their babies and stay for 24 hours.
Until then...
Until this vision can be completed, we at the Jesus Healing Center have put together delivery kits for the mothers to take home in their 8th month of pregnancy. They have all they need for delivery and for the babies' first minutes in their new environment. Miryame, the head of supplies, takes great pleasure in being the one to talk to each of these mothers, and give them instructions and guidance so they will have a safer delivery for both themselves and their babies.
The JHC will some day have a place to assure a good delivery, follow up for the mother, and observation of the baby. For now, these mothers know someone cares enough to see that they have a safe delivery. We give a gentle touch, a warm smile, and a little gift, just to show we really care for them.
We are glad to be working here in the country of Haiti, and a miracle like this is such a blessing. Please pray about helping to support us on the mission field here in Haiti. If you would like to send a donation or other correspondence, please send it to Love A Child, Inc., Attn: Carole and Bob Stufflebeam, Post Office Box 30744, Tampa, FL 33630 or click here to donate now.
Thank you for helping the poor people in Haiti!
