Sherry and I, along with all of Love A Child want to wish all the fathers a Happy Father’s Day. May you have a very special Father’s Day! You are the strength and Abraham of your family. When I was two weeks old, I was sent to be raised by Jake and Dorothy Poteet. To...

Today, four of our little Love A Child guys graduated from "Kindergarten." The children are Nelson, Lucson, Ti David, and Wiggins. Kindergarten graduation is a big thing in Haiti.

These ladies are from the village of "Sapaterre." For all their lives, they have been "sitting in the mud and making mud cookies to sell and eat," as their main businesses. We won many of these ladies to the Lord and then, a wonderful church was built in Sapaterre, which is growing every week!!! Each...
