Jackson is resting now. I went to check on him after about an hour and a half of vomiting and cries of pain. I found him asleep with his Bible by his side. Thank God for this moment of relief. He must have read some scripture to calm himself down. Jackson had dialysis this morning...
Yves Rose Bien Venue has been in the Anse-a-Veau prison for 17 months. She was arrested during a fight with a neighbor woman who was married to a policeman who had her put in jail. She’s never stood before a judge. She’s been in jail suffering away from her two children that she misses so...
“You’re Missing One Thing.” I always hear people talking about “how much they love the poor.” There are a “lot” of “extremely rich families” in Haiti. They live high, high up in the mountains in a private area. Their homes are much alike, or some even better, than some movie stars. They have the biggest,...
“Her children arise up, and call blessed; her husband also, and he shall praise her.” Proverbs 31:28 May God bless all the mothers today around the world! We remember the Haitian mothers today in Haiti who work very hard carrying heavy loads on their heads, always loving and protecting their children. I'm so thankful for Sherry, who...

Update on Jackson: Sherry and I arrived this afternoon from Haiti to visit with Jackson here in Santo Domingo. PTL! He is doing better, but still has a long way to go. He loves reading his Bible.

As you have been seeing lately, last weekend there was a big, happy four-day-long festival at the Gwo Mache' Mirak (marketplace) in celebration of Labor and Agriculture Day (May Day) in Haiti. Most of Haiti's economy is based on agriculture, so this annual celebration is very important to the Haitian people. The Agricultural Training Center...
We often brought in teams to Haiti “before the gangs took over.” We had to travel by truck and then on foot, deep into the mountains. Once, we did not bring enough water because we thought we were nearer to home than we were! The hot Haitian sun came out, and we were low on...
When Madamn Macena Arlande was due to have her baby, she was so afraid of having it “born on the ground in a bad area.” Gangs are not far from her home, but she had heard of our free Maternity Clinic! So, she has been coming faithfully to our “Love A Child Maternity Center.” Each...
The families of Ganthier, Haiti, have been devastated by ongoing gang violence, which has left them with no choice but to flee to Fond Parisien in search of safety. The Love A Child orphanage children work tirelessly to prepare meal kits, showing compassion and support for those who have lost everything. Through their efforts, they...
