She had been abandoned by her mother and father when she was an infant. Someone had said that her mother died, and her father didn’t want the responsibility. Regardless, the little toddler was abandoned. A lady by the name of “Madamn Cheap-Cheap” told us about the infant that had been abandoned, and we went down...
Thank you, Andrea Hawkins, for the manual sewing machines. We just loaded 18 of them for a sewing school and job creation. About 97% of Haiti has no electricity! The manual-operated sewing machines are perfect! Haitians "love to sew," and they are quite good at it! They can take a piece of scrap material and...
“Give Your Way Out” If anyone can say “they were poor and went through hard times,” Bobby and I can. We only had $40 saved up to get married, and my older brother, Bob, gave us $100 at our wedding. That was not much to start a married life, rent a place, etc. It seemed...
Esther… One day, many years ago, when we first moved to Haiti, we lived far up in the mountains of Mt. Noire. We rented a house up there. There was a big iron gate, and someone was always knocking on it. On this particular day, there was a poor, thin lady with a little girl...
Yesterday we had the worst travel day of our lifetime! We left Haiti yesterday morning, traveling by road straight to the Santo Domingo Airport, a 4 1/2-hour drive in the rain. We flew from the Santo Domingo Airport to Miami to catch our next flight. All the American flights were on time. When we landed in...
Have you ever had a dream, a vision, or a plan that God has given you for the future? Can you see yourself doing something you have never done before, but you still “get the feeling” that somehow, someday, you will be doing something “completely different,” because God has given you a “dream?” When I...
Noah... I may have done a post on Noah recently, but he is still such an amazing little boy! Noah was “abandoned” at our front gate here at Love A Child! He had “bite marks, burn marks, and belt marks," and he was only about a year old! He cried constantly when we found him....
After the earthquake in 2010, Love A Child found itself in the position of trying to help over 1200 new “refugees” rebuild their lives. God gave Bobby the vision to build Miracle Village, a new community of 600 clean, safe, and brightly colored houses for families to begin a new life. But the new families...
“Let’s Be A Child Again.” Little children are so precious. They are gentle, kind, and forgiving. They trust without even thinking about it. If you promise them something, they won’t let you forget it. They believe you will keep your promise, and they love you “unconditionally.” They trust their “Father.” When the crowds heard Jesus...
Tonight, we celebrated birthdays for the children that were here… Daphlina (Daphline), Daniel, Daniella, Miliana, Jameson, and Kenzy! There were several older children who were not here because they are in college! They played “musical chairs” for a long time! They had “egg races,” and so much more!! These kids make “a lot of noise!”...
