Once you have really seen what hunger does to a poor child in Haiti, it breaks your heart. There are two types of malnutrition: Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. We often see the skinny, thin babies and may think those babies are the worst off. But when we see babies who look fat but are really bloated,...
RESTORATION IS COMING! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God…” Joel 2:25-26 This is burning within my heart. The Lord is getting ready to restore what...
Jean Gardy… He was one of the children who grew up in our Love A Child Orphanage. He always made good grades in school, but he was different than our boys. He wasn’t too much into sports and always made high grades in school. He was a genius at math. When he finished high school...

This wasn’t just any meal; it was a steaming, hearty bouillon packed with life-giving nutrition: fresh spinach, moringa, greens, watercress, cassava, sweet...
“Go the extra mile.” This is something Jesus asked his disciples, and you and I, to do. But what did this mean in the Bible days? Did you know that “Cyrus the Great” came up with the idea of “mail delivery?” He would give the mail to “carriers,” but in turn, they could make anyone carry...
Years ago, when Stanley (Kinam) was about nine years old, he was in an orphanage in the area of North Haiti. His aunt contacted us, begging us to come get him and bring him to our Love A Child Orphanage. She was in tears as she pleaded with me. She told me that the orphanage...
