It is so hard to realize that Nelson is now 15 years old! I have to “catch myself” and say, “How did that little toddler grow up to become such a sweet and strong young teenager?!” I can remember when my friend, Kaeli, and I brought him out of the “mud hut village” of “Old...
We have had Kidney in our orphanage since he was a little boy! Now, he has graduated from college with degrees in Telecommunications, Radio, Cable, Electricity, and more! He is a genius!!! Kidney was always so quiet and shy! He has never been in trouble and is always kind and humble! Today, he came to...
Kim Ostrander, who is here with us at Love A Child, sent this to me just a few minutes ago. We have an emergency need for all our orphan children. I'm asking the Lord to lay on someone's heart the total amount so that Kim and Jesse can purchase these things in Santo Domingo on...

Franceau was the second set of “four brothers and sisters” here at Love A Child. He and his siblings lived high in the mountains of Mt. Noire, near us. We knew Franceau, his siblings, and his mother. And then one day, they lost their mother because of a “believed” heart attack. In Haiti, it is...
This morning, we are having a meeting with our older children, and Jesse and Kim Ostrander are here with us. These children need “our support, direction, and prayer.” They will soon be entering a “new life,” and one day they will be on their own. Some will go to college while others may take a...
“I Shall Not Die, but Live…” If you have ever been sick enough to die, or if you have lived in a dangerous area, as we do here in Haiti, you may get into a position of fear… “Am I going to die?” “What will happen to me?” We have a young teenager who fears...
“Dog Tired!” This is one of our “Rotties” here at “Love A Child!” His name is “Blackie!” He has a brother named “Lou!” Our Haitian children have had them since they were born! The kids hug them, feed them, play with them, and “sleep with them!” Bobby and I just came inside our living room...
