Last night was a special night for the kids from the Children's Home! A huge thank you to Farmer John and all the staff at Farmer John's Restaurant for graciously hosting our kids and treating them to a wonderful night out on the town. The children enjoyed delicious, sweet corn on the cob, chicken wings,...
God will restore the years the cankerworm hath eaten! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” Joel 2:25 I really feel within my heart that this scripture is for several of you today. The Word of the...
Every time Kim and I bring candy to Haiti, I somehow become the most popular person on the compound. Word spreads through the orphanage faster than the internet, and before long, there is a steady stream of children stopping by the house on their way to school. These kids seem to be convinced that a...
“The Battle Belongs to the Lord.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 How’s that battle going? Are you tired of trying to do this all by yourself? This is a message from the Lord for someone today. You are fighting a battle, but you are trusting in chariots, and in horses. David said, “Some trust in chariots, and...
Today I was reminded why there is so much hope for Haiti. Many years ago, a young man named Elizier came to work at Love A Child as a painter. Over the years, he and his crew have painted virtually every building on our compound, inside and out. If you've ever visited Love A Child...

This week, Wilner is teaching the 2-year agroecology students about the wisdom and importance of using “biomass.” Biomass is an important fundamental building block in sustainable agriculture and agroecology. “Biomass” is any growing plant, weed, tree, etc. It plays a crucial role in soil fertility and health. It acts as a real engine for agricultural...
“God Evens Out the Playing Field.” In I Samuel Chapter 1, you will read Hannah’s story, the lady who lived in Mt. Ephraim. Her husband was a “good man,” taking care of Hannah and his other wife, Peninnah. It turns out that Peninnah had children and Hannah had none… year after year went by until...
I know that I have shared Nelson’s story with you before, but he is such a miracle that I must share it again. The first time we saw Nelson was in a mud hut village! There was a huge hog near a hut. But a couple minutes later, a lady came out of her mud...
This morning, traffic came to a complete stop at Love A Child, not because of construction, not because of an accident, but because of our youngest donkey, who apparently believes he owns the entire compound! As we drove down one of the roads, he confidently stepped right in front of the vehicle and refused to...
