A New Year brings new plans and new hope. The new year always brings ideas for new projects. Some even make “New Year’s resolutions” to lose weight, quit smoking, or achieve some other self-help goals. For our team at our Agricultural Training Center (ATC), we have a goal of expanding our gardens near the children’s...
Many times, we overlook the “small stuff.” But when God is trusting us, He wants us to be faithful over the “small stuff,” as much as the “big stuff!” We were asked to speak at a certain church in California years ago. The Pastor was a “great man of God.” Even when we would go...
Faith produces! The Lord spoke to my heart several years ago a very powerful thought… Faith is not something you just talk about, faith is something you do! Love is not something you just talk about, but love is something you do!! A lot of people can talk the talk, but they can’t walk the...
Widlene is now a “professional cook!” She can make wedding cakes and special foods for parties! But, when she is at home in our orphanage, she teaches “little Zoey” and her brothers and sisters how to make cookies, cakes, and desserts! You would think that these little boys would never want to cook, but they...
“Are You Tired of Being the Tail?” When we first began our ministry, we were preaching on street corners and borrowing chairs from “The Funeral Home!” We had two small children, and many times we did not have much to eat. I recorded our offerings as: $3.50, $5.00, etc… Each night, we were hoping and...
Sandraline… Most of our “Love A Child” children came to us after they were about five and older. Sandraline was born in the area of Croix-des-Bouquet, Haiti. Her mother had died, and her father only had a small job as a bicycle repairman. He could not afford to hire a woman to care for Sandraline....
Haitians eat “pumpkin soup” on New Year’s Day! It is so “traditional” that many get depressed if they don’t have the money to buy the ingredients. Our Haitian children “love” pumpkin soup! This is Haiti’s holiday to celebrate its independence and liberation from France and its French colonial rule over Haiti. This celebration began on...
“Sometimes, you can’t help it!” The story of David “dancing before the Lord” is told in 2 Samuel, chapter 6, beginning with verse 16, “And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a widow, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she...
THE PRISONERS WERE THANKFUL! In Haiti, pumpkin soup whispers new beginnings—New Year’s soul food. Today, two hundred and eighty-four prisoners in Anse-à-Veau, Haiti, clutched steaming bowls, bread in hand, courtesy of Love A Child. That warmth sparked something deeper: sixty-one surrendered, accepting Jesus as Saviour! Jesus is the true manna! Matthew 25:36. Thank you for...
Fabiola is shy, intelligent, beautiful, and sweet! We have had her “nearly all her life!” She is now 16 years old and in the 11th grade. She is turning into a sweet, kind, and hardworking young lady, who loves cooking, singing, and “dancing with her sisters.” She is also “a tyrant at dominos!!” Ha! (I think that even her...
