The Love A Child compound has many animals: horses, donkeys, dogs, cows, chickens, and guineas. Here in Haiti, where uncertainty often feels loud, the behavior of these animals speaks volumes. The horses grazing, cows drinking, dogs sleeping, and birds chirping are unbothered, unafraid. We should be reminded that God’s provision does not stop when circumstances...
“Get the Sickle Ready!” Joel 3:13 “Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe..." We must do everything we can to win souls to Jesus! If you are shy or ashamed to witness, God will open a door! A good way to witness to or have your friend hear about Jesus is to invite...
Sherry and I had an 8 1/2-hour flight delay at the Dallas airport yesterday. We finally made it here, to Tulsa, and had dinner with friends. Today, we are traveling about one hour away to visit and pray for a dear missionary friend of ours. She and her husband were neighbors of ours in Haiti...

We also have many other schools in the mountains and surrounding areas that are filled with beautiful, bright, bubbly future citizens of Haiti. Most of...
“The Hand Wide Open.” When you were a child, did you remember someone asking you to guess which hand had the coin in it? They would squeeze their hands so tight you could never tell which hand was the “good one.” When the children of Israel came forth after many years, into the land of...
Here is a note from one of our Love A Child kids, Davidson: "Hello Mom & Dad, how are you guys!? I didn't wish you a happy New Year. I'm really sorry, it's because I don't have a phone and can't send you pictures quickly, so... HAPPY NEW YEAR Mom & Dad! May God continue to...
It’s time to “stretch out the stakes…” God never wants His children to remain “small.” I do not mean that they can’t be humble… We all need to be humble. But God wants the best for us. Bobby and I have been around so many people with “small thinking,” and they act as though the...
