Deep in the mountains of Haiti, a line of children waits with red tickets clutched in small hands. Pots simmer. Prayers rise. In a village cut off by drought and danger, neighbors gather to cook a single life-giving meal. Mothers whisper hope. Little voices practice Amen. The cameras follow the journey of fortified food to...
“For such a time as this…” I love the story of Esther and the book of Esther… What an amazing story of how God “puts us in certain situations,” so that we can be a blessing. We may not realize it at the time, but we are and have been moved around to certain positions to...
The Bible talks about that there is "safety in the multitude of counsel" (Proverbs 11:14) Today, Sherry and I had to attend our Love A Child board meeting by zoom here in Haiti. We’ve been through a lot this past year due to gang activity, not being able to bring in teams, etc. Our donations have dropped,...
We first met “Yonel” when he was just a tiny, malnourished little boy. His parents were “gone,” and he was being raised by his poor, elderly grandmother. She brought him to our Mobile Clinic in the mountains. He had severe malnutrition and was near death. We told the grandmother we would “do our best” to...

I call them God’s seven supernatural promises for those who help the poor. “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep...
When the earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, it crushed and destroyed many buildings all over Haiti, especially areas like “Port-au-Prince!” It also destroyed clinics, hospitals, businesses, and orphanages. When we found out that a “handicapped” orphanage had been destroyed, we let them come and stay at our orphanage until they could find another place. We fell in love...
It was eleven years ago that “Gwo Maché Mirak” (Miracle Market) was established for “job creation” in Fond Parisien! It was the anniversary of the “Gwo Maché Mirak” or “Miracle Market!” When we first came to see our land in “Fond Parisien,” Haiti, it was just land, full of weeds, sharp cactus stickers, and no...
Widelene, one of our older orphan girls, has gone to college in Port-au-Prince to learn to be a “professional chef!” As soon as she came home from college, she started coming into the kitchen and teaching her “little brothers and sisters how to cook some new food" in our kitchen! She has “the patience of...
