When the 2010 earthquake hit, we found ourselves bringing in those children whose orphanages had collapsed. We loved Jean Richard from the start. He was a devout Christian, kind, gentle, and never felt sorry for himself. When he graduated from Philo (the 13th year in Haiti), we found out about a “special needs” college here in...
"When a Haitian lays down to sleep at night, fear lays down beside him," this is a Haitian proverb. Fear has gripped the hearts of the Haitian people like we have never seen! Over 700,000 Haitian families have been displaced and run out of their homes by the gangs. 2,000 families alone, from the community Ganthier,...
“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 You may be going through an impossible situation with your husband, children, business, or personal problem. God is bigger! With God, all things are possible! God is a mountain mover! God said to cast your mountain into the sea! (Mark 11:23)...
Sherry and I left Haiti this morning, traveling by car to the Santo Domingo Airport. We just landed in Miami on our way to North Carolina, landing in Raleigh at midnight. We will return to Haiti this coming week. Our hearts and prayers go out for all the families in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, South...
The kids have always called her “krapo,” which means frog because she has big eyes! (Nicknames for Haitian children are common and the kids don't get offended by it!) She and her two siblings were brought to us by her aunt. We were told that her parents were trying to reach the U.S. by “Haitian...
Two days ago, you wouldn’t have thought this was the same boy! Jackson’s blood pressure was high, and he was vomiting. The doctors wanted him to have complete bed rest all day long so they could determine how he was doing. Two nurses from our Birthing Center had to take turns with him checking his...
Bobby and Sherry embark on a perilous journey to the remote village of Port Glacie, where they must cross a vast lake by boat to bring desperately needed food to the community. In this isolated village, they hear the heartbreaking stories of children whose struggles intensify as the turmoil in Haiti worsens. With gangs taking...
“The Kindness of God...” II Samuel Chapter 9: "We serve a loving God, who wants to take care of the poor. He uses His children to do this..." In II Samuel, we read about David again. He has already won many battles and God is getting ready to bless him even more. His enemy, Saul,...
We first heard about Lovely through a lady named, “Mdm. Cheap Cheap!” (Maybe some of you who have been to Haiti know of her or have bought Haitian items from her.) She had told us about a baby that had been abandoned, and one of her parents had a disease that was not treatable at that...
On Tuesday, we started feeding 273 hungry prisoners daily in Anse-a-Veau. Our outstanding Love A Child team in the south of Haiti prepared and served them a nutritious, hot meal. Because of the lack of government intervention combined with supply routes being cut off by gangs in Port-au-Prince, these and many other prisons have prisoners...
