Giving birth in Haiti can be very dangerous unless there is a professional midwife there, and many times, it might be too late for the mother or baby. Years ago, I saw a mother give birth to a baby, on a dirt floor, in a mud hut! The mother had[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“… Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6: 8) Isaiah obeyed the calling of the Lord, as he went and proclaimed his Word! God spoke to Moses out of the flame, “… the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.[…]
“Disaster Relief for the Victims… Doing it the Right Way…”
Our older children have been through floods, famines, hurricanes, and some, through an earthquake. They know that in order to help the victims, they must first find out how many families and print “tickets” to give to the people. (Otherwise, there would be fighting, grabbing, pushing, etc.) Even though we[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“The Divine Favor of God…” We teach the children here at Love A Child that “God’s divine favor” is worth more than gold! Divine favor can bring you out of a mess! Divine favor can “lift you up above your circumstances” when you need it the most. The Bible tells us the story[…]

A Disaster Hits Haiti
Emergency: Today was supposed to be a happy day for Bobby and me. We were on our way to attend our twin grandsons’ high school graduation. (We had never been able to attend their birthday all these years, due to our heavy load and responsibilities in Haiti.) We were there[…]
William, Our Prodigal Son…
There is a story about the “prodigal son,” that Jesus told. There were two brothers… one left with his inheritance and wasted his life. But, after a while, he repented, and his father welcomed him with open arms. When you raise 85 children in an orphanage, you can almost expect[…]
An Uber Lesson
Today, we loaded up Roselyne with an Uber account here in the Dominican Republic. We met at a motel and helped her set it up. She has to attend a French college here in the D.R. for about a month in order to pass her French test. She has already[…]
