Lovely… One of her parents died and one developed a disease that brought death. We know a lady who sold “Haitian handmade” items and everyone called her “Madamn Cheap-Cheap!” One day, Madamn Cheap-Cheap told me about a baby whose parents had abandoned her on the street, leaving the baby with a disease. That baby was...
“If God Wills.” “Si Dieu Vle.” The Haitians have a lot of sayings… but the most popular one comes from the Bible… “Si Dieu Vle.” It means, “If it is God’s will.” James 4:14-15 says, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor,...
Before Sherry and I retire for bed this evening, we can't get the poor children and families out of our minds. Oh, how the families suffer each day from the lack of food and medical care. Such stories would break your heart. We are sad tonight, thinking of all the things the Haitians must endure daily. The...
It was only about two years ago that Job had developed a very bad disease in his lower leg. We had to send him to a hospital for surgery. His infection in his leg was very serious! It took months to heal. Job is doing well now. He is 16 and in 11th grade. He...

Power in the blood of Jesus! “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” Exodus 12:13 If we study Genesis 3:15 and 21, the Scriptures point toward...
We first found Noah when he was less than a year old, we believe. He was “thrown away,” in the bushes near our gate. He had “bite marks,” on his face and chest, burns, and much more! It would have had to be someone deeply involved in Voodoo to treat a young child like that!...
All of us who have gardened in any fashion know the pleasure of finally seeing your flowers one day erupt into bright, colorful blooms, or your vegetables finally get to the point of being able to harvest them and enjoy a meal of fresh, nutritious food from your own efforts. Can’t you see that joy...
“Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? […] Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:37-40 These are powerful words from our Lord. When we feed the hungry or...
He acts a lot older than his age, 8. It is hard to believe that a mother would abandon her baby and leave it near our Front Gate at Love A Child! It was a miracle that the baby lived through the night... Joshua was sick for a long time, but when he got well,...
