Samuel was born “very high" in the mountains of Greffin, Haiti! His mother died during the delivery, leaving an “older father” with other children and a new baby he could not feed. He brought the baby down to us, and at that time, we had a team here at Love A Child! His father came...
There have been many complications lately as we tried to organize another Mobile Medical Clinic. We had to make sure that the gangs, who are about seven to eight miles from us, would not be in the area where we conduct a large Mobile Medical Clinic. We used to be able to go anywhere in...
“Going where you are celebrated…” I could write a book about this! Have you ever been some place (even invited) and all of a sudden you feel like, “What am I doing here? I belong somewhere else.” It has happened to all of us. The Holy Spirit immediately tells me, “You are in the wrong...
Please keep Jackson in your prayers. We are headed to the hospital now to be seen by the nephrologist. Jackson is feeling better, but the doctors are having difficulty fighting the infection in his abdomen. We pray for wisdom for the doctors and healing for Jackson! Keep up the fight, Jackson!

We at Love A Child and, among others here in the community, believe it's time to open the road--and open it now. We have always believed that the road should be open for commerce....
“For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat. I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink. I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Naked and ye clothed Me. I was sick and ye visited Me. I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.” Matthew 25:35-36 “In as much as ye...
Daphline (Daphlina) was brought to us from the mountains of Savaan Roche. Her mother died when she was a baby and she was given to her aunt to raise. But, her uncle had just died and it was “too much on her aunt,” to raise another child. A family member brought her to us. She...
Due to the hostile environment here in Haiti caused by gangs, so many poor parents struggle to feed their children every day.
