At 8:30 this morning, Bobby and Pastor Mark are leaving for the village where Madamn Adeline lives with her 25 orphan children. Pastor Mark will be preparing the first steps to get the foundation in for a brand new orphanage! Right now, all these children are living in a mud hut, with some sleeping in a...
“Riches…” I have been thinking a lot about “riches” lately. Sometimes, people condemn Christians who are rich, but I do not believe we should do this. Abraham was rich, Isaac was rich, Jacob was rich, Joseph was rich, and Job was rich. These are just a few. When we give to the poor, God wants...
When we first found Kristela, she was dying with malnutrition and full of sores. Her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were deeply rooted in Voodoo. We won Kristela's mother to the Lord when she was pregnant with Kristela. She had come to our Mobile Medical Clinic in Savaan Pit, Haiti. Two weeks later, her mother died and...
After we finished our morning staff meeting, we walked back to the orphanage and heard the children singing, jumping up and down and wanting to show us "their surprise." They made us a beautiful sign with rocks and flower petals that said, "We love you, Mommie, Poppie and Kaeli.” (Kaeli is our missionary in charge...
“How Thirsty Are You?” — “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” Psalm 42:1-2 — We should be so thirsty for God that our souls cannot be quenched with...
This evening, we let the older children and “house mothers” hide Easter Eggs all over our orphanage yard! The kids just loved running and finding those eggs while the older kids and moms are trying to tell them "where to look!" We had such a good time. Bobby and I are so thankful the Lord...
What a joy to know that while we are all sitting down to a nice Easter Dinner, these precious children will have food to eat today because you care! These darlings are from Orphelinat Foyer Divin. They receive food from us every month because our partners help make this possible. Thank you, Love A Child Partners!!! You...
These Haitian women work very hard in the street markets, selling their meager items. They are up before daylight, lifting heavy loads, working all day in the sun to make "just enough for one small meal" for their children. You and I are blessed beyond measure. Thank you, partners, for helping us "feed the hungry...
Today, we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ...and we, as missionaries, remember His last words and His last commandment that He left us. "All power is given unto me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son...
Today, our children had such a good time coloring Easter Eggs. They also had a big "water balloon fight" with everyone, even the adults! It is such a joy to know that these children are "loved!" They will grow up to do great things for God! Kaeli Fletcher is a "gift from God!" She is in...
